I've been listening to their hits a lot in the last few days. I have three of their CDs but could never get into the album tracks. What are your guys' favourite album tracks so I could focus more on them?

Anyways:
1. Bright Lights -- A song that spends 13+ weeks at #1 on your chart would have to place itself high! My favourite from them, by far!

2. Back 2 Good -- I LOVE this song and also LOVE the fact that it's almost six minutes long!

3. Real World -- This was a great track! Great to sing with! Deserving of #1 on my charts.

4. Bent -- I didn't like this song much at first. It took a long time to grow on me but now it's great!

5. 3am -- Same with this one only I also got incredibly sick of it after it was Top 10.

6. Mad Season -- Great to sing along with!

7. Feel -- I love how 'Feel' is so in your face! "I'm only asking because I wanna know!"

8. Disease -- Not as bad as people say it is. I don't like the intro but the rest is great!

9. Push -- Good track but as you can tell by its #9 placing, not my favourite.

10. Unwell -- Overrated but still a decent track. Verse 2 is my favourite part of the song.

Well, in my MB20 Top 10, I included the track "Argue" off their Youself Or Someone Like You CD. I think it's a great track. "Long Day" is also a nice song and was actually released to rock stations across the country back in '96. "Busted" is another one to check out.

Mad Season has some good ones too. Though I never thought much of the title track, "Crutch" and "You Won't Be Mine" are nice ones. The latter is not only their longest song title, but also their longest song; including all the guitar riffs and instrumentals, the verison on the CD goes on for about 10 minutes!

I don't have their latest album. Personally, I think I prefered the band when they had a more alternative edge, especially with the mid-'90's sound of their first album. This adult rock/ Hot AC thing they have going on suits them well though I must say.

Some of my favorite albums tracks of theirs are "Bed Of Lies" and "Rest Stop" from Mad Season, and "All I Need from More Than You Think You Are (but I'm still hoping that'll be the next single).

I've been trying to get into the new CD by listening to it more often when it's a current than I did when the other two CDs were currents. I like track 5 and track 6 (which is 'All I Need', like I said a few days ago, it sounds very Roy Orbison) and track 7 is a nice ballad.

[Radical347]

1. Bent
2. Push
3. Bright Lights
4. Unwell
5. Back 2 Good
6. Last Beautiful Girl
7. Crutch
8. If You're Gone
9. Long Day
10. Disease

All of these are A range. 1-2 are interchangeable, 3-5 are interchangeable, 6-8 are interchangeable, and 9-10 are interchangeable.
