Dammit. It's too hard. I did make a MGB greatest hits cd a couple years ago and i do remember my top 3 for sure.

 

1. Primetime Deliverance

2. Suburbia

3. Born to Kill

 

I could even begin to start thinking of making a solo Matt Good list becasue it would change all the time, especially when new songs came out. At least with MGB its final. I think that's why i made the list a couple years ago.

[insane_child]

how about favorite album?.... that one's easier.

 

...hm...

 

well, i thought it was easier....

 

mine's either: audio of being... avalanche.... or last of the ghetto astronauts.

I gotta give this a try... with order taken into consideration along with acoustic/band option:

 

Bright End of Nowhere (A)

Empty Road (A)

Carmelina (B)

Tripoli (B)

Advertising on Police Cars (B)

The Rat Who Would Be King (either.. damn)

I Miss New Wave (B)

Suburbia (B)

A Boy and His Machine Gun (B)

She's Got A New Disguise (B)

Generation X-Wing (B), plus extended jam?

Haven't Slept In Years (B)

Prime Time Deliverance

Look Happy, It's The End of the World

Ex-Pats/Hopeless

Change of Season

 

Near Fantastica (can't decide if acoustic or band)

House of Smoke and Mirrors (A)

Missing the cut: It's Been Awhile Since I Was Your Man, Flashdance II, The Fine Art of Falling Apart... ah dammit. This isn't easy. If this was after this tour I would probably take the Vancouver tracks out and replace them with Fine Art and Flashdance II.

I played by the rules before so now I'm posting my proper 30 song Matthew Good greatest hits, adding some I unfortunately left out because of the 24 song limit and making it a nice even 30 songs. And I could easily add more but I figured it would be too much for a greatest hits. This overall most reflects my thought of his best songs, random ones could be removed or added at anytime though but this is a pretty perfect list to me. Vancouver excluded.
