Most of the ones I own are pretty much a few great tracks within an album I can, overall, take or leave. I have little curiosity to hear what I haven't heard here -- Y'know, I'm largely content to have heard many of these singles or break-out tracks and leave it at that.
#35 is probably my favorite out of the whole list. Really stood up quite well after repeated listenings during a deep depression. Can't front on that.
