okay, well this list is clearly wrong. well, not terribly wrong, but it needs some mixing up and chips ahoy needs to be replaced with stations and sequestered needs to be replaced by slapped actress. resurrection needs to go to the top. and how does constructive summer or hoodrat not fit on there somewhere. hrm. make your own.

[muzzleofbees]

Why eight? Not three, not five, not ten - eight. Strange.

I think the list is weird. And I don't think a would have included any of those in my top... eight.

[jamesjesusangleton]

At the moment ... (and not in order)
1. Sweet Payne
2. Your Little Hoodrat Friend
3. Charlemagne in Sweatpants
4. Hot Soft Light
5. Don't Let Me Explode
6. Constructive Summer
7. Joke About Jamaica
8. Slapped Actress

The lack of Steve Nix, Stations, and Constructive is just wrong.

[hoodrat]

man, 8 is hard.

1 resurrection
2 slapped actress
3 knuckles
4 stations
5 hoodrat
6 constructive
7 stevie nix
8 certain songs

[mcstevepants]

Weird list, here's mine...

IN NO ORDER! That's too hard.

1. Stuck Between Stations
2. First Night
3. Chillout Tent
4. Southtown Girls
5. Killer Parties
6. How A Resurrection Really Feels
7. Constructive Summer
8. Slapped Actress

Ask me tomorrow and there'd be some variations, but for now...

1. Stuck between stations
2. Resurrection
3. Hoodrat
4. Killer Parties
5. Party Pit
6. Multitude of Casualties
7. Massive Nights
8. Stevie Nix

[caz]

Choices based on a mixture of lyrics/music/both, not in order, cos that's just crazy talk:

1. Banging Camp
2. Resurrection
3. Multitude
4. The Swish
5. Stations
6. Killer Parties
7. Hot Soft Light
8. Lord, I'm Discouraged or Cattle and the Creeping Things

(as if the word 'or' makes it somehow subtle that I've broken the rules and picked 9...)

[jamesjesusangleton]

Stupid me. Forgot Cattle, which is my favourite of their songs.

[caz]

I think it's cool when you forget which of a band's songs is officially your favourite, it means they must have quite a few decent tunes

[chasingmarkk]

Logging in at work to express how horribly terrible that list is.

[Jersey]

Weak list, Paste!

Here's how it should look- (in no order other than my faves)

Banging Camp
Constructive Summer
Cattle and The Creeping Things
Positive Jam/The Swish (these two are inseparable, in my book)
Knuckles
Stevie Nix
Stuck Between Stations
Killer Parties

[transverberate]

1. Party Pit
2. Banging Camp
3. Hoodrat
4. Lord I'm Discouraged
5. DJs
6. First Night
7. Stuck Between Stations
8. Jamaica

[212margarita]

4. Slapped Actress
5. How a Resurrection Really Feels
6. Hot Soft Light
7. Girls Like Status
8. Citrus

Seriously that was like asking octomom to choose her 8 favorite kids.

[toastie]

Ocotomom only has 14 kids to pick from.

[Brian_NJ]

1. Slapped Actress
2. Stuck Between Stations
3. Resurrection
4. Banging Camp
T-5. Positive Jam
T-5. The Swish
7. Constructive
8. Massive Nights
8. Cattle

8. First Night

[Fine Malt Lyrics]

The correct list, in no order:

Hornets! Hornets!
Stuck Between Stations
Ask Her for Adderall
Banging Camp
First Night
Certain Songs
Resurrection
Constructive Summer

[mattjs]

My list for the record:

1. Multitude of Casualties
2. Arms & Hearts
3. Stuck Between Stations
4. One for the Cutters
5. Modesto's Not That Sweet
6. Chicago Seemed Tired Last Night
7. Magazines
8. First Night

[meoskop]

That list is completely wrong.

Also, Both Crosses should be on it. I shall consider my eight.

[bigontheinside]

This was going to be in order, but I got very very confused and it ended up just being a list of Hold Steady songs. IMO every THS song could fit onto this list...
1. Stuck Between Stations
2. First Night
3. Stevie Nix
4. Killer Parties
5. Your Little Hoodrat Friend
6. Slapped Actress
7. Both Crosses
8. Banging Camp? Suddenly there is a huge fight for 8th...

[Matt Jones]

in no order:

1. Stevie Nix
2. Constructive Summer
3. Stuck Between Stations
4. Most People Are DJ's
5. Navy Sheets
6. The Swish
7. Multitude of Casualties
8. Hornets! Hornets!

[muzzleofbees]

01. Stuck Between Stations
02. Banging Camp
03. Most People Are DJs
04. Constructive Summer
05. Hornets! Hornets!
06. Stevie Nix
07. Your Little Hoodrat Friend
08. Party Pit

[bigrob]

Ordered as of how I feel right now, but the order changes fairly often. The eight songs will usually stay the same.

1. Chicago Seemed Tired Last Night
2. How a Resurrection Really Feels
3. Girls Like Status
4. Hostile, Mass
5. Sweet Payne
6. Banging Camp
7. Stevie Nix
8. Killer Parties

Picking my first seven was fairly easy, but it took me 20 minutes to pick an 8th. I gave it to Killer Parties because of live show influence.

[Sunny D]

1. How A Resurrection Really Feels
2. Spectres
3. Hornets! Hornets!
4. Two Handed Handshake
5. Joke About Jamaica
6. Girls Like Status
7. Sweet Payne
8. You Can Make Him Like You
