Bluefinger's 10th anniversary passed by this September, and I thought it would be a good chance to take stock of the Black Francis 2.0 era by making lists of our favourite BF songs from the last decade (i'll include Christmass).
I'm going to try both 20 and 10 song lists.
20 song:
Don't Get Me Wrong
Radio Lizards
Get Away Oil
Threshold Apprehension
Captain Pasty
Fort Wayne
The Tale of Lonesome Fetter
When They Come to Murder Me
Stars
Bad News
The Flower Song
Miriam and Florian
Six Legged Man
Seal
Magdelina
What Goes Boom
Silver Snail
Classic Masher
Head Carrier
All the Saints
10 Song
Don't Get Me Wrong
Threshold Apprehension
Captain Pasty
Fort Wayne
Bad News
Six Legged Man
Seal
Magdelina
Classic Masher Edit: Virginia Reel
All the Saints

This is an exercise I will try!
Which albums qualify? Extra songs.
[plus some of my favourite songs]
Bluefinger - Captain Pasty
Svn Fngrs - Garbage Heap
Love Sick EP, [I don't think I have that]
Petits Fours
The Golem - Bad News, You're Gonna Pay
NonStopErotik - Corrina
Abbabbuba - Virginia Reel, Do What You Want (Gyaneshwar)
Paley & Francis
Let The Peope Speak - Geode
Indie Cindy - Magdalena 318 [Kinda kicking myself for not going to Fargo to see the show. Ahhhhh!]
Head Carrier - Um Chagga Lagga
Then there's Women of War and the Head Carrier demos.
Look, there's 10 already, I'm not sure if those are my 10. Geode probably replaced with Miariam & Florian.
Dead Man's Curve should be in there, but it is also on early recordings... |

I like seeing everyone’s lists, the similarities and differences.
Don Eduardo it’s interesting that you put Your Mouth Into Mine at the top of your list because I never liked that song much until this very week when I started going through all Frank’s songs in reverse alphabetical order and I listened to it a bunch. It really rocks and is a lot of fun! |

Six Legged Man
That Burnt Out Rock and Roll
Bill Jocko
Talent
O Little Cloud
Greens and Blues
Fort Wayne
Garbage Heap

I'd include Don't Get Me Wrong and Radio Lizards because Mark Mulcahy sings backing vocals but I've already got BF's awesome cover of Bill Jocko in there.
Don't know which top 10 I prefer :/

Man
Must compile my selection when I'm less tired. Would be ridiculously tough limiting mine to ten. Heck, I can't wait - here goes:
Threshold Apprehension
Bad News
The Maharal
O Little Cloud
Angels Come To Comfort You
Oh My Tidy Sum
When They Come To Murder Me
Cinema Star
Virginia Reel
Head Carrier
Custom All The Way
Classic Masher
Captain Pasty
Indie Cindy
What Goes Boom
Baal's Back
Seven Fingers
Garbage Heap
Don't Get Me Wrong
Curse
I probably could stick in Tight Black Rubber or Lolita or Stars in there for some of the Pixies stuff but I'm mildly content with that list for now. |

Very happy and surprised that DGMW is in joint top position. It's a fine song with fine lyrics from Reid Paley and some fine Mark Mulcahy input. Really hope BF and Mark collaborate on something again.

| The 5 top vote getting songs would have made quite the EP release compared to EP1. |

So I've crammed a lot of Frank over the last 6 days....it was fun. It's been a LOOONG time since I listened to Let the People Speak. As I figured, there were about 10 "locks", and I considered 17 options for the final 10 spots. Grand Duchy was the big loser in that whittling, as I had 3 GD songs in the final 23 but only one made the 20. Surprised there was no room for "Curse", but this exercise made me realize how much I like Praise3, so thanks for that
Tight Black Rubber
Angels Come to Comfort You
Your Mouth Into Mine
Seeing as these songs would be #1, #1a and maybe #4 on my list, and they appear sequentially on Bluefinger, that makes it the greatest 3-song stretch since....i don't know....Dogs/Pigs/Sheep?
The Tale of Lonesome Fetter
Bad News
Custom All the Way
Demon Girl
Cinema Star ("the lights were bright, for workin' out")
Greens and Blues
