I totally agree with chili's list... though I think I would add just about any Jeremy Spencer song (man, do those ever wear thin!), with "I Believe My Time Ain't Long" being a major exception.

I think I'd also add "Empire State" to that list... but I'd remove "The Second Time," which I think can be quite moving.


As for "You And I, Part 1"... i love that track. I include it on just about every Mac mix-tape I make. But again, I have to agree with chili... to have included it on the album itself, it might have been just a bit too similar to "Mystified" to really be affecting.


Oh, and I'm sorry but "When I See You Again" is far from rubbish. I know a lot of people can't get past the repetition of the line, "what's the matter, baby"... but that's very integral to the emotion behind the song. Her former lover is the first to ask the question, but by the time she's finished reciting it, she is now asking herself.

She's broken-hearted... she's worn out... she's despondent... she's at her wit's end... but she's looking for that little glimmer of hope.
Like I've said before, don't just listen to it... experience it.
"When I See You Again" moves me even more than "Landslide" does.
