Cardigans: Best Of

[yeahyeahtron]

Is this going to get released?

Anyway if it was for me this would be it's track listing:

01. My Favourite Game
02. Lovefool
03. Erase Rewind
04. Comunication
05. I Need Some Fine Wine
06. Heartbreaker
07. Carnival
08. Godspell
09. Been It
10. You're The Storm
11. Rise & Shine
12. Don't Blame Your Daughter (Diamonds)
13. For What It's Worth
14. Sick & Tired
15. Hanging Around
16. War
17. Live & Learn
18. Losers
19. Junk Of The Hearts
20. Burning Down The House

Don't think it will end up like this... most probably it won't incude Communication, Heartbreaker, Losers, War etc but for me they're Best Of material and should be included!

Its released on 29th October but it won't be just a singles collection. There is still no official tracklisting yet (to my knowledge)

This was the original statement from Mags

Hej people!

Since some have heard some rumours about a Greatest hits/Best of album, so yes.
There will be such an album coming out in the fall. There will be some fine album tracks which we chose over crap singles ( Your new cuckoo for one....) and also a fine deluxe version with B sides and various hard to get songs. ( Happy meal 1 type).
Unfortunately there will be no new songs due to... stuff I can´t get in to.

At the moment I am writing liner notes for all songs and it´s a b**** to remember details for 13 year old songs. But a fun b****!

Consider it official folks!

This is one band, even though I own all albums, where I would buy the GH for catalogue completeness sakes. Apart from Long Gone, I've always thought they got better as they went on, I love the fact they started off all light and poppy, and became all maudlin and miserable, plus they always managed to chose a good version to do.

I am, however, not impressed by the news that Nina is going to do another A Camp album. Bad idea in my opinion.

[yeahyeahtron]

I love long gone before daylight... i think it's probably their best... and 1 of the most underrated albums of all time...

[Smurfie]

Oh, don't get me wrong, I liked Long Gone Before Daylight, I just think Superextragravity was just that bit better. However, Life I think I played more than any other Cardigans album. I loved Travelling With Charley and Celia Inside. But Don't Bring Your Daughter is my favourite Cardigans track by a long way. I think the Tim Burton-esque video helped.

[Mart!n]

My favourite Game is my favourite track of theirs, I don't own any albums by the Cardigans, but their singles have been very good, so I might be tempted to get this.

[yeahyeahtron]

Super Extra Gravity is brilliant I agree!!! Well I think it's Gran Turismo the album I've played most... it was the 1st CD I had ever bought and you can imagine how happy I was that I finally owned a CD!!! I think it's the CD I've played most as well!! =) My fave Cardigans song has to be "Communication" closely followed by Diamonds, My Fave, Erase, Please Sister, You're The Storm, Carnival & Been It!

[Smurfie]

I think if you could arrange a Cardigans rate after the Smashing Pumpkins one to co-incide with the GH, would be a fab idea.

I adore Don't Blame Your Daughter!!

I've said this elsewhere but I think that the last 4 singles (DBYD, I Need Some Fine Wine, You're The Storm and For What It's Worth) are by a long way the best Cardigans tracks ever. Shame the singles and albums were flops

INSFW is what I call a TUNE.

[yeahyeahtron]

Yep!!! I'll give the SP rate another week then we'll go for a Cardigans one good idea!!!

[Mart!n]

That's a brilliant tracklisting, I'm definitely getting their GHs

[RyanS]

Now THAT'S how you do a GH!

[yeahyeahtron]

I wasn't that far away!!! Considering that I've also included some album tracks like "Communication" that they have also chosen And its in chronological order...

FANTASTIC!!! The Cardigans RULE!

[Smurfie]

Fantastic! *online orders it*

I love how they finished with one of their most miserable songs "Slow". Love it!

[ManicKangaroo]

There is now some doubt over the release date - the retail sites all have different dates

some as late as 3rd March

Yeah I love that song... It's perfectly placed both on SEG and the GH! I loved that Bonus tracks thingy they threw before Give Me Your Eyes... But I still believe that those 2 tracks could have been good album songs...
