At best, I could name my least favorite tracks. No way I could narrow my top tracks down to 10. Dat catalog <3
Bobby B Better June 16, 2015 at 3:54 am

Good lists guys. One thing I’m not getting on SI is Black Friday but a lot of you seem to like it. Without critiquing it, let’s just say it’s near the bottom of my list of FNM songs.
Bobby B Better June 16, 2015 at 3:50 am

@weirdlittleboy…yeah, it’s like picking between my babies. I included a few from each album because their music is really linked to the other songs on the albums for me. For instance, angle dust is my favorite album but I’m noticing I only have 2 songs from it on my list. Does that make sense?
fernetpunker June 15, 2015 at 11:01 am

Great show. Thank you! One of my favorite titles would be Ricochet and The Real Thing. From SI my favorites are Matador and Motherfucker.
Stalusk June 14, 2015 at 2:23 pm

Black Friday sounds brilliant here, the guys look super relaxed playing it.
weirdlittleboy June 14, 2015 at 10:08 am

@Bobby B Better- yeah, it’ s tough to pick Songs out of their outstanding catalouge. It’ s funny that you chose the cowboy song, cause I love this one very much. Should be in my list, too. One of my favourite pre- Patton tracks is Mark Bowen. The SI Songs have to grow on me first to get in my top10. But my all time favourite will always be Caffeine.
Bobby B Better June 14, 2015 at 7:12 am

@weirdlittleboy…that’s a tough one. I’ll make it easier on myself and name 15. Off the top of my head and in no particular order…
-As The Worm Turns
-Chinese Arithmatic
-The Morning After
-Everything’s Ruined
-Cuckoo For Caca
-Stripsearch
-Separation Anxiety
-The Cowboy Song
-Zombie Eaters
-Last Cup of Sorrow
-King For A Day
-Digging The Grave
-Kindergarten
-RnR
-Matador

Really enjoyed this short sharp set! Band seem invigorated and genuinely happy! Black Friday rendition was freaking great and in fact it’s a great song and listen to it the most on the album! My shot at FNM top 10 changes at times but here it is:

Midlife crisis
Ashes to ashes
Epic
Zombie eaters
Stripsearch
Evidence
Everything’s ruined
A small victory
Chinese arithmetic
Seperation anxiety

Will they ever play Jizzlobber live again?
weirdlittleboy June 13, 2015 at 9:04 am

@Bobby B Better: how would your Top10 look like?
At the Moment mine is:
#1 Caffeine
#2 KFAD( song)
#3 Ricochet
#4 Midlife Crisis
#5 Cuckoo for Caca
#6 TRT( song)
#7 Caralho Voador
#8 Everything’s ruined
#9 Collision
#10 Just a man
Bobby B Better June 13, 2015 at 2:53 am

Also, is the consensus now that midlife crisis is the best fnm song ever? It is really good but I’m not sure that it would make my top 10.
Bobby B Better June 13, 2015 at 1:25 am

I thought it might be worth mentioning here that the Atlanta show is now sold out. I’m wondering how the other remaining US dates are selling.

It was a real treat how the band brought back so many songs on the reunion tour...I hope they do that again instead of cycling through the most common songs. I really feel that there should be no real reason the band should feel compelled to play Epic or Easy in 2020...they have so many other songs.

We need to petition for them to add a few rarities into the mix this time around...my vote is for The Cowboy Song. I'm betting on some new music as well. I loved SI but it never really grew on me the way the other albums did. Don't get me wrong, there are some gems in there (also some I'm not too fond of) but I've always felt like they have at least one more great album between them that could blow SI away.... } – Dec 05, 11:22 PM

- Benrun { I'm very hopeful it will be something much more than announcing that they will play European festivals. I knew before this that Hellfest was announcing their line-up, and I figure they would play other shows over there. I personally feel that a countdown to a tour announcement without a promise of something new after 3.5-4 years of silence would be a huge misjudgment of fan enthusiasm. If it's just a tour, just announce it. They are my favorite band and musicians on the planet...I don't want to see them get too egotistical. } – Nov 26, 3:00 AM

There's so many things about this band that have never made it to print or photos, people haven't seen there's a lot of dimensions here.

I always liked “return to your own vomit like a dog” I also like the Kronos quartet bit they sampled The whole song “Khad” is one huge wow weeeeee But what has blown me away recently was Fantomas / suspended animation - Sunday ————- the start of that song with the classical vibe to it is superb —— anyone know who wrote that part or was it a sample from else where.? } – Apr 24, 1:57 AM
- Benrun { Hello KingCol…I do the exact same thing! Everyday I just look at the latest post and check the comment number. You asked a very difficult question...I know Bill picked Midnight Cowboy, Bill and Patton together picked I Started a Joke when they heard it in a karaoke bar in Guam...I get a sense that it was because it was so sappy in a powerful way, but that's a guess. I'm sure Bill had his hand in the Serbia song and the Chilean Violeta Parra cover. I'd love to know the stories behind these choices. Jon played Rich Girl, Strawberry Letter... } – Apr 18, 3:26 AM

- Benrun { I remember an interview with Bill and he was asked what songs he does or does not enjoy playing live anymore. I remember he liked playing Epic which surprised me...he definitely no longer enjoys playing Death March. But there are quite a few shows in the 2nd half of the 97 tour where they omitted Epic. They didn't play it at the Chile show with Trey and there were a few 2015 shows they didn't play it either, mostly when they played SI in it's entirety. } – Mar 01, 2:49 AM
- KingCol { The inclusion of “epic” in their set lists actually puzzles me - since for the most part the band normally doesn’t give into public demand and if anything would normally go against the grain - probably the bands most popular and well known song and i actually skip by it when listening them live and the only thing i like about the song is the end of the track when they include a sample from another artist. } – Feb 28, 9:01 PM
- Mark Rago { If I were Jim Martin, and Mike, Billy and Roddy were calling me a Mama's boy and insulting me in the Lions share of interviews, I wouldn't have been a team player either. That being said, it seems to me that Martin was the creative catalyst during the Mosley era and The Real Thing. Patton really started to pilot the bands style and writing during the making of Angel Dust, and I think Martin took umbrage with that, and the teasing and ribbing the other guys piled on him when absent from band interviews (good natured or not) started to... } – Feb 28, 2:03 PM

- Benrun { Podcast 4 about IY? Favorite song would be Anne's Song, followed by Faster Disco. But I love every song on the album. It is the best FNM album in terms of 5 guys fighting for their part to be heard, yet servicing the songs. It's got the best guitar tone of all the albums. The only possible criticism I can think of for the album is the one that Chuck gave it...that the drums are a little similar song to song...Puffy would stay intense but add more versatility on later albums. This album has so much tongue in cheek but... } – Feb 08, 3:05 AM

The best thing about phoinex 93 is the fact that the audio was released long before the shaky footage was synced together.

- Benrun { KingCol, I email back and forth with that member regularly and have definitely benefitted from the connection because they have been a very generous trader of bootlegs. I've also loved getting bootlegs off of Dime a Dozen, still do. Pretty sure it is a "he" and "he" is a really cool guy. Not sure he is a big commenter on websites, and while he's definitely a FNM fan, he also loves a lot of other music. If you search for it you can find his trading website.

(on a side bragging note , I was also lucky enough to attend the gig in Dublin in the Olympia with a capacity of just 1200) As everyone else mentioned here already, the other obvious stand out tracks are “the morning after” and “under water love” .

The Real Thing is still one of the greatest rock songs ever. Pure perfection, an all-time favorite. } – Jan 23, 12:12 AM
- Rob { Podcast 2 a success!! Please don’t feel the need to speed up your analysis. I’ll totally be happy with a 3 or 4 hour analysis of TRT. My own notes on the TRT: 1. Underwater Love is underrated and those keyboard flourishes are beautiful. Also, I often link this song thematically to Nick Cave’s “Where the wild roses grow”. 2. Zombie Eaters lyrics to me are more about the thoughts of an autistic or seriously handicapped young adult man. 3. From Out of Nowhere, The Real Thing and Woodpecker are the best tracks on the album. 4. Have you heard... } – Jan 21, 12:23 PM
