Audio Neurotic Compilation: Garbage

While I recognize the 80-minute burnt CD is becoming increasingly obsolete, I can't imagine artists churning out much longer than 45-60 minute albums in the future without doing more harm than good. In fact, with the age of the MP3 download upon us, it seems like the return of singles is the new wave. Still, offering a selection of tracks in a specific sequence intended to spotlight the best and longest-lived tracks by an artist will remain a valuable service to the public.

Today's group is Garbage, who are responsible for numerous singles that, following a decade of heavy rotation, are now unbearable to me. Despite being dismissed as more corporate unit shifters than an actual band, I honestly believe the group's best stuff tends to be album cuts that stray from their proven airplay formula. That said, I usually love sneaking in rarities with the b-sides, but with Garbage, I pulled up only one such offering. A box set, they don't need...

1. Vow (Garbage, 1995)
2. I Think I'm Paranoid (Version 2.0, 1998)
3. Kick My Ass (Sweet Relief II: Gravity of the Situation - The Songs of Vic Chesnutt, 1996)
4. A Stroke of Luck (Garbage, 1995)
5. The Trick Is to Keep Breathing (Version 2.0, 1998)
6. Bleed Like Me (Bleed Like Me, 2005)
7. Drive You Home (Beautiful Garbage, 2001)
8. As Heaven Is Wide (Garbage, 1995)
9. Hammering in My Head (Version 2.0, 1998)
10. Supervixen (Garbage, 1995)
11. You Look So Fine (Version 2.0, 1998)
12. Cup of Coffee (Beautiful Garbage, 2001)
13. Medication (Version 2.0, 1998)
14. Queer (Garbage, 1995)
15. Metal Heart (Bleed Like Me, 2005)
16. Untouchable (Beautiful Garbage, 2001)
17. Parade (Beautiful Garbage, 2001)
18. Happy Home (Bleed Like Me, 2005)

I agree with you Andrea! I like all Garbage songs!

[andrea111292]

True :) And the good thing of garbage is that the best music doesn't end just at their Greatest hits.

[RocknCorruptrepublic]

yeah wow guess i underestimated. it doesn't seem like that long if im listening to it :)

[andrea111292]

Absolute Garbage is approssimately 80 mins :)

And it's not that when I listen to it I can't wait for it to finish and I wish it would be shorter...

80 mins cds are a bless for good music .

I want an 80 minute CD of Garbage!

Although I suppose if I burn everything onto one CD (or as much of it that fits) it will be well over 80 minutes... :)

[andrea111292]

Well he s just saying he only likes the greatest hits of garbage and the rest is forgettable . I don't think this way. And about the 80-minute burnt CDs , I think his point of view is also the same for garbage. I don't agree . The most satisfying thing with garbage wasn't the one of discovering their greatest hits , but discovering they made a lot of hidden and underrated songs like their b-sides

80-minute burnt CDs are in no way obsolete if it's an EPIC band that recorded it!

i prefer to listen to the full version of these songs....i agree i can't tell whether he's making fun of garbage or maybe just making fun of the way people treat music today (lack of appreciation/everything has to be instant)?

[andrea111292]

Oh now I understand he doesn't really like Garbage but the most famous songs of them.

[andrea111292]

Neither do I

i can't tell if you are insulting the band or not in your description. lol
