New Radicals - You Might Be Brainwashed Too. One of a kind song named after the album… and the lyrics that came with the album in no way match what’s present on the song. Always thought that was so bizarre. Great song though.

Here’s my attempt. Takes a while to listen to a 2½ hour long album :) This selection would fit on a single CD. In fairness to the album, there are no duds in there. All the tracks are between 6-8/10, so I wouldn’t object to anyone else’s selections.

Dani California 4:42 Slow (Hey Oh) 5:34 Charlie 4:37 Stadium Arcadium 5:15 Torture Me 3:44 Strip My Mind 4:19 Warlocks 3:25 C’mon Girl 3:48 Tell Me Baby 4:07 21st Century 4:22 Readymade 4:30 Animal Bar 5:24 So Much I 3:44 We Believe 3:36 Turn It Again 6:06

Total Run Time 67:10

It was far too overblown, if they had reigned in the excess and probably held some songs back that went out as b-sides it would have been much better. Noel was believing his own hype too much - we did not need All Around the World to be that long and have a reprise! They lost their soul after this album for sure (and founding members), none is worth bothering with. But their first album is at their raw best.

Some will sell their dreams for small desires

Or lose the race to rats

Get caught in ticking traps

And start to dream of somewhere

To relax their restless flight

Somewhere out of a memory

Of lighted streets on quiet nights

Why should I have to choose? They are part of the same composition. Although I do find that the songs I enjoy the most are the ones with great lyrics that I can sing along to. When they're simple, poetic and relatable, that's the best. But the lyrics compliment the music, and the music compliments the lyrics. I don't pick one or the other.
