What if there was a new Very Best Of?
What would you want on it? Not what should be on it. Bearing in mind a CD is about 76 minutes long and you can only have two discs!
Bat Out Of Hell Dead Ringer For Love Blind As A Bat It Just Won't Quit I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back Modern Girl Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad Everything Louder Than Everything Else I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us Bad For Good Objects In The Rear View Mirror I'd Do Anything For Love The Monster Is Loose Not A Dry Eye In The House You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth Surf's Up Testify Lost Love Read 'Em And Weep Paradise By The Dasboard Light Prize Fight Lover Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through For Crying Out Loud Honourable mentions go to Frying Pan, Original Sin, Pig and the remix of MATLAF. |
Some immense choices on there! I can't see Martha but hey you can't have everything :p ;)
Probably doesn't count as it never made it to the final album but I would love Decadent Wish to get the attention it deserves, so I'd switch Lost Love for that. I'd swap Prize Fight Lover for All Revved Up, Monster's Loose for If It Rains or Peace On Earth, and I'd take Surf's Up off just because I could!!!!!! Other than that, immense! |

Evil One said I could have what I wanted on it, not what should be on it! :))

DISK I (come out to an Hour and 12 minutes)
DISK II (come out to an Hour and 13 minutes)

Too lazy to put them in a particular order and to check the running time, but these are gems that should not be missing from such a compilation:
Cry Over Me Special Girl Cry To Heaven You're Right, I Was Wrong "Lesbian" Love Fiesta De Las Almas Perdidas Forever Young Did You Ever Love Somebody Man Of Steel 45 Seconds Of Ectasy Because Of You Rock 'n' Roll Hero If God Could Talk You Can Never Be Too Sure About That Girl Don't You Look At Me Like That Burning Down Do It! A Man And A Woman Where Angels Sing Masculine (the American classic!) |

I don't want any new Very Best Of, not unless Meat & Jim got together again and added a couple of new songs.
|
Meat playing piano and Jim singing? :lol:
|
Was thinking about this today, as it goes. I'd expect a singles retrospective with couple of new ones a la Bon Jovi's Crossroads et al. That sort of thing.
For the new tracks, my preference, and in my ideal world, would be some Meaty renditions of some of the 'lost' Steinman songs. |
I made "Best Of" compilations on itunes, but they were all well more than 2 discs. I can't even fit my favorites off of the three Bat albums on two discs...
...but what the hell... Disc 1 (time - 1:10:10) 01 - Bat Out Of Hell 02 - Modern Girl 03 - Dead Ringer For Love 04 - Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad 05 - I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) 06 - You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night) 07 - Read 'Em And Weep 08 - Paradise By The Dashboard Light 09 - Objects In The Rearview Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are 10 - Couldn't Have Said It Better 11 - Heaven Can Wait Disc 2 (time - 1:12:18) 01 - Home By Now/No Matter What 02 - Original Sin 03 - Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through 04 - Did I Say That 05 - Living On The Outside 06 - Blind As A Bat 07 - Left In The Dark 08 - Out Of The Frying Pan (And Into The Fire) 09 - More Than You Deserve 10 - Bad For Good 11 - Elvis In Vegas |
I'm not understanding why some are are wanting a 'very best of' CD when they've probably already got all the songs and some several times over :shrug:

Second disk...um. Cut out Original Sin and rotate Braver Than We Are with Read Em And Weep :( |
Since we don't know how long some of the songs would actually be if they were recorded by Meat, it theoretically could be possible that they'd all fit on the disk(s).

Id guess you could edit a few repetitive "Objects" verses and have that CD wind up 76 minutes foir disk 2 and disk 1 just cut the repeat of the first verse to frying pan (its tricky but Ive done it successfully) :cool: Otherwise become Meats manager and get that released... :lol: |

guys - i am not the brightest when it comes to electronic stuff.. my hubby does it for me... however.. can't we make the cds a MP3 cd so it can hold all the music we'd like to hear :)) i know both our cars can handle a MP3 cd.. shoot my hubbys car has a usb port that he put his ipod into... or is this a bad idea? :badidea:
have a great day ;) |
@Megan
I agree with you. My Ipod is loaded up with all Meat's songs. If I set that on shuffle I have my own very best of. Of course if a new VBO came out then I would be sure to buy it. Especially for the new cover or a picture of Meat as the cover :). What I'd like to see are more live recordings released of past and present. I had a version of 2 out of 3 where Meat's ad lib in the middle of it was so great. This was way back on a cassette I had made. I love my Casa Live CD that came with HCTB. Even if it was a song I already have, Meat's live performances are always different...he does different ad libs all the time. |

Haven't got quite enough time to think about all the tracks now, but can I just say that I would prefer it if the tracks are in chronological release order on the CD? That way, you can listen to them in the "correct" order, or hit shuffle and enjoy the randomness. It really is a win win ;)

I don't see "I'd Lie For You" in the lists. That's one of my favorites- one of Diane Warren's best or maybe it's just Meat & Patti's performance of the song. "What About Love" is another favorite of mine.
