Lets Play – You Pick the Songs

[greendaze5]

Ok, here’s how it works. From these following albums: Bella Donna, The Wild Heart, Rock A Little, The Other Side of the Mirror, Street Angel, and Trouble In Shangri-la, take you the songs you least like or hate, and replace it/them with another to make the ‘perfect’ album for you.

You can replace songs with unreleased demos of B-sides (ideally from that era, for example, replacing ‘Kind of Woman’ with ‘The Dealer’, or ‘Love Is; with ‘Chanel Chanel’, etc.), alternate versions, or soundtrack songs from around the same time

Or you think the song selection is perfect on a particular album, leave it as is.

Just copy, paste, and type in your own picks. Have fun!


1. Bella Donna

Dump: ‘How Still My Love’ (don’t hate it, but if I had to pick my least favourite)

Replace with: ‘Sleeping Angel’ (beautiful song, should’ve been on the album) or ‘Gold and Braid’


2. The Wild Heart

Dump: ‘Gate and Garden’ (yawn)

Replace with: ‘Garbo’ or ‘Violet and Blue’ or ‘All the Beautiful Worlds’ (can’t pick, like them all).


3. Rock A Little

Dump: ‘The Nightmare’ and ‘Some Become Strangers’

Replace with: ‘Battle of the Dragon’, ‘Lady From the Mountain’ or ‘She Loves Him Still’


3. The Other Side of the Mirror

Dump: ‘Cry Wolf’ (hate this one)

Replace with: ‘Real Tears’. Drawing a blank on other songs from this time that I would pick.


3. Street Angel

Dump: ‘Docklands’ and ‘Just Like a Woman;

Replace with: ‘Free Fallin’ (I like this version over TP’s) and then ‘Playing In God’s Garden’ or ‘Inspiration’, or ‘I call You Missing’ (not sure if this was meant for SA or OSOTM)


4. Trouble In Shangri-la

Dump: ‘Planets of the Universe’, ‘Love Changes’, ‘It’s Only Love’ (Sheryl’s own electric version is better), ‘That Made Me Stronger’

Replace with: ‘Planets of the Universe’ (extended version with the added stanza on the CD single, ‘Space Needle’, ‘You’re Not The One’ (since Sheryl Crow buried it on a b-side), ‘If You Ever Did Believe’, Twisted, or ‘Touched By An Angel’
