1. I Think I'm Starting To Lose It 2. Black Letter Day 3. Whiskey In My Shoes 4. Black Rider 5. Sing For joy 6. The Man Who Was Too Loud 7. Pan American Highway 8. White Noise Maker 9. Goodbye Lorraine 10. Freedom Rock 11. Massif Central 12. Whispering Weeds 13. The Snake 14. St Francis Dam Disaster 15. San Antonio TX 16. I'll Be Blue
The first three albums don't get much of a look in but that's probably because I'm over-familiar with them now.

yes very difficult. i have compiled 1 fb mix + another 4 fb/pixie combos.
here's my fb mix pre honeycomb.
1. village of the sun 2. the man who was too loud 3.humbolt county massacre (version from all my ghosts ep) 4. callistan 5. st.francis dam disaster 6.the swimmer 7. dog in the sand 8. robert onion 9. i gotta move 10. jane the queen of love 11. his kingly cave 12. california bound 13. 21 reasons 14. speedy marie 15. i could stay here forever 16. ten percenter 17. two spaces 18. what ever happened to pong? 19. headache 20. los angeles 21. so.bay
as an aside if frank were to ever release a best of for his solo and catholic material i think now would be a pretty good time. with all the media attention and pixies tour i'm sure more straight up pixies fans are thinking about checking out some frank material but there's so much to choose from.

I'm listing the songs in chronological order, but that's not how I would organize the CD:
All the candidates:
Los Angeles Places Named After Numbers Parry the Wind High, Low Abstract Plain (an absolute MUST on any kind of Frank compilation, since it is the perfect example of Frank's style) Olè Mulholland Superabound Cult of Ray All My Ghosts Dog Gone I Need Peace King and Queen of Siam Solid Gold Western Star (another absolute must) I Love Your Brain So Hard to Make Things Out So. Bay I've Seen Your Picture Hermaphroditos (yet another absolute must, whether you like the song or not) If it Takes All Night His Kingly Cave San Antonio, TX Heloise CA Bound How You Went So Far End of Miles Jane Jet Black River When Will Happiness Find me Again This Old Heartache Manitoba Atom in My Heart Honeycomb Sing for Joy
Now, to narrow it down to 16 (this is tough):
Los Angeles Places Named After Numbers Parry the Wind High, Low Abstract Plain (an absolute MUST on any kind of Frank compilation, since it is the perfect example of Frank's style) Cult of Ray I Need Peace Western Star (another absolute must) So Hard to Make Things Out Hermaphroditos (yet another absolute must, whether you like the song or not) San Antonio, TX Heloise CA Bound End of Miles Jet Black River When Will Happiness Find me Again Honeycomb

After rummaging around I finally found the track listing for a cd I made up for my friend who was going to live in China last year. I think it would have to be a double cd to get everything I wanted on, but this wasn't that bad as an introduction to his work.
