[chrisarclark]

regarding the "no particular order" replies- iwas kind of going for a proper tracklisting to include a top10 (or would be top10) but not necessarily in order of best to worst or 10 counting down to 1, but more in an order that will flow well as a compilation.

[sad veiled bride]

I'm quite sure for the top 5:

I know it's over
There is a light...
Half a person
The boy with the thorn...
Please please please...

Then, for the other 5, there is a crowd of songs fighting and struggling each other to gain a position in the top 10: This Charming man, William..., Bigmouth..., Ask, Asleep, Last night I dreamt..., Girlfriend in a coma, Shoplifters of the world..., Paint a vulgar picture, Still ill, Reel around the fountain, Cemetry Gates, Rubber ring, What she said, That joke isn't funny anymore, Strech out and wait, What difference..., Heaven knows..., many more, I GIVE UP
