 Here's an interesting comparison.
When a "best of" or "greatest hits" collection doesn't exist for a group or artist that deserves one, Dr. Reptile makes his own.
In the case of Old 97's who faded out by the CD, Satellite Rides, and have seen a Rhett Miller solo career and a revival, Dr. Reptile had already done their GH CD.
But they just released their own called, Hit By A Train - The Best of Old 97's. Which songs did they think were their best and which ones did Dr. Reptile pick?
Here's the commercial playlist:
Stoned
Cryin' Drunk
Doreen
Victoria
Timebomb
Niteclub
Four Leaf Clover
El Paso
Jagged
Lonely Holiday
Murder (Or A Heart Attack)
Valentine
The Villain
King Of All The World
Question
Rollerskate Skinny
Barrier Reef (Live)
Nineteen (Live)
and here's Dr. Reptile's list (to fit an 80 minute CD):
King Of All The World
Murder (Or A Heart Attack)
Timebomb
Barrier Reef
Broadway
504
Melt Show
Streets Of Where I'm From
Jagged
Oppenheimer
Indefinitely
Busted Afternoon
Nineteen
Doreen
Valentine
W. TX Teardrops
Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
Cryin' Drunk
Lonely Holiday
Crash On The Barrelhead
Ray Charles
W.I.F.E.
Old 97's Theme
Only nine overlap (although there are two more if you count the live versions):
King Of All The World
Murder (Or A Heart Attack)
Timebomb
Jagged
Busted Afternoon
Doreen
Valentine
Cryin' Drunk
Lonely Holiday
Who's got the better list?
