Pick one: MCIS album or all MCIS B-sides?
If you could only listen to one or the other for the rest of your life, what would it be?
The proper MCIS album (you can inklude the 3 album vinyl version if you want) or the entire B-sides collection from the era? As much as I love the B-sides, I couldn't give up Ruby, Porcelina, Stumbleine, Jellybelly, or Farewell & Goodnight... ever. |
Are you insane?

i'd pick the B-sides
they're always my favorite anyways. |

Wow, that's a really good question. I mean, I guess the album is winning by a landslide, but it's not as obvious of a choice as I might have assumed. Funny it took like a dozen years to be posed this question. Given the option, I would trade Dawn to Dusk for Zero and 1979.
|
Even though I prefer the album, Dreaming is one of the best tracks.

In other words for me: 1979 or Set the Ray to Jerry...I think i choose 1979...that echo that sounds like "take it" never gets old.

I am a huge TAFH-lover, but let's be honest. As great a set it is, there are only about a dozen TRUE classics out of the 28. I love almost every track, but it is outweighed and outclassed by Mellon Collie.

Overall, 56 amazing recordings from a single session/era, what other band could even compare?

Great. Now I have to think about this all day, and there's a pretty good chance my head will explode.

MCIS is better than its B-Sides, but TAFH is better than MCIS.

But I do wish TAFH would have been on MCIS. I don't care that it might have not "fit in" but imagine Disc 1 ending with TAFH instead of Take Me Down (the only song I really don't like at all on MCIS)? That would be insane. The drums are so raw and dry on TAFH, plus the one take solo is just classic. I get chills just thinking about it. |

Take Me down does work with the disc, it just isn't great.
I think TAFH at the end of TtS would be awesome, but it wasn't even recorded until March '96. |
MCIS would have been a epic 3 disc.
|
one day billy will come around and record his doubletriple album.
i'll be impressed then. |
