It's hard to choose the best song, but for me the song I enjoy least is The Box. Don' t get me wrong, I love when he plays The box live but I don't like those horns in the studio version, it really messed up the best part a bit...
And kind of the same thing with Long long way, I adored this song when he played it at whelans, it brought me so much emotion. But now the mixing in studio version doesn't get me like the song used to.
Long long way case is the different to The box. When the studio ver. of The box imho is not very great with horns, in other hand the studio ver. of Long long way is very beautiful and fit very well to the theme of the album, only that it's different and doesn't hit me hard enough. Maybe I love this song so so much which led to high expectation...

So this is my final list:

1. The greatest bastard
2. It takes a lot to know a man
3. Long long way
4. My favourite faded fantasy
5. Colour me in
6. Trusty and true
7. I don't want to change you
8. The box

do you have a good recording of long way from that show? the one i found is terrible.

^ agree, i dont like studio version of Box as much as live cuz of the last chorus, and Def prefer live version of Long Long way as studio version is soo soo bla just as much as SDW...SDW and LLW would be adequete silent tracks

i would have prefered Vyvienne cello on the Box perhaps

check your pm :hello2:

1. Colour Me In
2. My Favourite Faded Fantasy
3. It Takes A Lot To Know A Man
4. I Don't Want To Change You
5. The Greatest Bastard
6. Long Long Way
7. The Box
8. Trusty And True

MFFF and IDWTCY have grown on me massively in the context of the album, but there's hardly anything separating the top 5 for me, and the other 3 aren't that far behind. Very much like O, it's pretty much a perfect album.

^ so that makes Elephant ur favorite song from his 3 records, im good with that, especially live

also ITALTKAM seems to be getting more love than i thought,which is good cuz i really like that one

seem 'the Box' is LOW on many lists, could it be cuz its 2+ years old to us and all are bored with it, cuz i like it, albeit the recorded version is dissapointing towards the end, still a great song, and def not on the bottom of my list

I've been thinking a lot before ranking them because there isn't a song I really dislike.

1. It Takes a Lot to Know a Man
2. The Box
3. The Greatest Bastard
4. My Favourite Faded Fantasy
5. I Don't Want to Change You
6. Colour Me In
7. Trusty and True
8. Long Long Way

I rank it in the following order:

1. "It Takes a Lot to Be a Man" & "Trusty and True"

2. "I Don't Want to Change You" & "Colour Me In" & "My Favorite Faded Fantasy" & "The Box"

3. "The Greatest Bastard" & "Long Long Way"


Well I'd prefer to put all songs apart from Trusty.... and I Don't Want.... at second because putting any of those songs below the best seems just wrong. lol
