your Damien top 20!!

[borneoman]

Inspired by a recent Radiohead top 20 in NME (won by Just by the way)... What would be your Damien top 20, including all tracks from O, the O b-sides and all the unreleased tracks he plays live, the older Juniper/O era songs (Insane, face, etc...) and the most recent ones (Accidental babies, Coconut skin, etc...)???

I know it's soooooooo hard...

Mine would be:

1 The blower's daughter
2 I remember
3 The professor
4 Amie
5 Grey room

9 Sand
10 The blower's daughter 2
11 Cannonball
12 Older chests
13 Delicate
14 Lonely soldier
15 Volcano
16 Rootless tree
17 Woman like a man
18 Lonelilly

And you were there waiting for me.
And with a smile you said:
"It's been a while"
You asked if I had seen her recently.

totally miss this

[Shillelagh]

what's comfort me?

[carrroline]

It's an unreleased song. He played it once during an after show, asked not to record it. Also referred to as 'I don't know how to comfort you'. Very depressing stuff. It's one of the songs from the Barcelona trip (day 6). I believe he played it during the Icelandic recording sessions as well.
I shouldn't have posted this. I'll edit my post.

[happy2bhere]

All time top 5...
I remember (live version with long, angry outro)
Insane
Woman like a man
Elephant
The Professor

In particular order....
Amie
Rootless Tree (slow, piano version as played live on KCRW)
Fool
Prague
Older chests
Cross eyed bear
The blowers daughter
9 crimes
Cold water
Cheers darlin
Lonely soldier
Sleep don't weep
Childish
Delicate
Don't explain (not sure if this is a cover)

[borneoman]

this is really a blast from the past, just realised the original post is before the release of 9, like more than 8 years ago... when Elephant still was The Blower´s Daughter part 2 I see there´s also The Girl That Does Yoga (later Dogs) and Wanted to be Wanted (later The Rat within the Grain)

[Spamlet]

Plus, I had "Jewelry Box" down (which was the Juniper version of C-EB). Yup, I think updated lists will be in order after this next album comes out. As it is, there are probably 10 more in the last 8 years I would now have to put on there. Can we make it a top 50 instead?

[borneoman]

What I miss the most about Bastard is the old ending, cos he was singing: don't let up you dont love me cos i know you do, SOMEWHERE!!!!

Pity that SOMEWHERE was cut later

[Spamlet]

I loved that dream section too and would not be surprised if it were put back in considering the album's apparent theme.
