The Very Best of tracks were (if im not mistaken) chosen mostly by Meat. The fact that his fave song (For Crying Out Loud) isn't on there is kinda strange, but he claims that it never sounded right. He apparently spent a lot of time trying to chose the orders of all the tracks. I guess that he was influenced by the mass, although, For Crying Out Loud is commonly regarded as one of the best songs ever written by Jim or sang by Meat...
basically, Meat says that there was no order in which he felt it was right that FCOL could be included... besides, almost all of Bat is on at that CD :) only lacks All Revved up and FCOL :)
