Your Years of Refusal Top 12

Comtesse said:
11 and 12 have been taken off my version of the album and replaced with "My Dearest Love" and "Children In Pieces". "My Dearest Love" would be #1 and "Children In Pieces" would be #5 if this list reflected what I'm actually listening to.

Comtesse, you beat my placing for THPGU by ONE chart position--I ranked it at 12,422. ;) Truly, My Dearest Love would have been better than the new Tobias tunes - I even concede Children in Pieces would be better than the filler at the end.

1) It's Not Your Birthday Anymore
2) You Were Good In Your Time
3) Mama Lay Softly on the Riverbed
4) Something Is Squeezing My Skull
5) I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris
6) When Last I Spoke to Carol
7) All You Need Is Me
8) Black Cloud
9) One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell
10) Sorry Doesn't Help
11) I'm OK By Myself
12) That's How People Grow Up

Roll on Because of My Poor Education, Shame is the Name, Teresa, Teresa, I Was Bully, Do Not Forget Me, and I'm Looking Forward to Going Back!

Cheers,
Jamie

I'm surprised at at low "I'm OK BY Myself" rates on many people's list. I think that is easily the best of the bunch.

Well, I never thought that anyone could rank that unmentionable song lower than me, but I should have known you'd come through, Jamie!
