10 Original JA; 10 post-Avery JA

[thisnameisinuse]

You might accuse me of creating a boring topic - you wouldn't be the first - but hey-ho. Inspired by the 10 tracks of TGEA, which ten tracks would you pick from the original Jane's and from the post-original Jane's?

Today, for me

Original:

10. Ocean Size
9. Had a Dad
8. I Would For You
7. Stop
6. Ain't No Right
5. Mountain Song
4. Classic Girl
3. Jane Says
2. Then She Did...
1. Three Days

Later:

10. I'll Hit You Back
9. Suffer Some (if this counts as post-EA)
8. Everybody's Friend
7. Just Because
6. Twisted Tales
5. To Match the Sun
4. Underground
3. Irresistable Force
2. True Nature
1. Price to Pay

[Larry B.]

Heh, I like it...

In no particular order...

Original JA:

1. Trip Away
2. Whores
3. Jane Says
4. Chip Away
5. Up The Beach
6. Summertime Rolls
7. Mountain Song
8. Three Days
9. Then She Did...
10. Classic Girl

Crappy JA:

1. Strays
2. Price I Pay
3. Everybody's Friend
4. To Match The Sun
5. Underground
6. End To The Lies
7. Curiosity Kills
8. Irresistible Force
9. Ultimate Reason
10. ermmm... Wrong Girl?

Of course, the criteria are very different. In the first case, it's difficult to select songs to leave out, while in the second it's damn hard to select songs to include.

I can't come up with 10 post '91 songs. Sorry guys.

[Matz]

I can't name 10 original Jane's songs, cause it would be impossible for me, they're all great

10 Post 91

1. Kettle Whistle
2. So What!
3. Just Because
4. Price I pay
5. True Nature
6. To match the sun
7. Underground
8. Irresistable Force
9. ETTL
10. Twisted Tales

[Hokahey]

Kettle Whistle and So What are almost unfair to include. They are Avery era leftovers (So What is debatable) and still from a time when these guys were from outer space.

Strays
True Nature
Just Because
Twisted Tales
Splash
IF
Underground

Everybodies Friend?
Wrong Girl?
Price I Pay?
Broken People?

[Matz]

...and still from a time when these guys were from outer space.

[guysmiley]

Kettle Whistle
So What
True Nature
Just Because (acoustic)
Underground
Strays
Hypersonic
The Riches

That's all I got anymore.

[Warped]

Why do so many people do not like Idiots rule? I love that song. I always get in a good mood when i listen to it.
Jane says is a good song but i hate that they close every fucking show with it...i think i would rather leave than listen to it, maybe come back after the song and wave goodbye then.

mostly because i hate the horns.

[Hokahey]

Idiots, BCS and Pigs are my least fav old Jane's songs. I like Shower. Especially live.

[Juana]

Original:

Nothings Shocking without "Thank You Boys"

Post:

Price I Pay
Strays
So What
True Nature
Underground

That is pretty much it.

[Jasper]

9. Of Course

You get a lot of respect from me for choosing this. The Irvine Lolla version is especially great.

This was difficult. I love all Jane's 1.0 songs. It was tricky to separate some things from modern realities, since, for instance, Mountain Song has been played to death, and Ain't No Right has been especially poor live in the last few years. I didn't list any covers, because I think this is about originals.

Not in order of preference, just in order of release/tracklisting (I think)...

JA 1.0:

Kettle Whistle (various live ones - far better than the '97 version)
Whores
Up The Beach
Ted...
Summertime Rolls
No One's Leaving
Obvious
Three Days
Of Course
Classic Girl (Maybe I should be glad that they haven't killed this for me)

A couple of the above could be switched with a couple of others, with little disturbance.

POST-1991:

So What!
Kettle Whistle (Yeah, written w/ EA, but I'm picking it anyways)
True Nature
Hypersonic (FU, creep)
Underground
ETTL
Curiosity Kills (FU, creep)
I'll Hit You Back
Twisted Tales
Ultimate Reason

[creep]

how can "i would for you" not be on everyone's list?

[JOEinPHX]

stop
three days

up the beach
ocean size
Slow Divers
Whores

kettle whistle
So what
just because
true nature
to match the sun
underground
end to the lies
curiosity kills
twisted tales
splash a little water

--------------------------

Am i the only one who put Slow Divers on there? What is wrong with you people? That song is easily better than most of Jane's other songs combined.

I'm in love with you.

[Warped]

Well, i could have puts lots more of original Jane's. So it has nothing to do with me not liking a song from that area. I basically like all songs. Slow divers and I would for you are killer songs yeah but if i had to choose i take the ones i wrote down above.

The only song of JA i absolutely hate is Superhero.

[Deconstruction]

1. Three Days
2. Then She Did
3. Ted, Just Admit It...
4. Had A Dad
5. Ocean Size
6. Stop!
7. Whores
8. Classic Girl
9. Summertime Rolls
10. I Would For You

1. Kettle Whistle (1997)
2. Underground
3. True Nature
4. Words Right Out Of My Mouth
5. Just Because
6. Broken People
7. So What!
8. Strays
9. I'll Hit You Back
10. End to the Lies

If you don't think Kettle Whistle counts, then you can throw Splash A Little Water On It and Hypersonic onto my list as honorable mentions. To me Hard Charger is a JA song, it's my favorite song that Perry/Dave/Perk have created together post original JA.

I actually think the '97 version of Kettle Whistle is the best version (FU Jasper ) Personal opinion obviously.
