Your Isobel & Mark compilation?

[mip]

How would you put together a best of compilation of Isobel & Mark?

10-12 songs.

[svennb]

Thank god you don't ask an overall 12 song compilation. F*cking impossible haha.

[silence]

Black Mountain
Come On Over (Turn Me On)
You Won't Let Me Down Again
Back Burner
Constant Waiting
Who Built The Road
The Raven
The False Husband
Why Does My Head Hurt So?
The Flame That Burns
Ramblin' Man
The Circus Is Leaving Town

12 of the dustier tracks rather than the poppier ones, but they make for a nice late-night playlist.

Oh I love making lists. But remember lists are never right… so this one isn’t perfect imo either.

Are only the three albums they made together allowed or also their other songs they made together apart from those three albums? If it’s just the three albums, my top 12 would be:
1. Lately
2. To Hell & Back Again (Neil Young rip off but it’s ok )
3. Time of the Season
4. Deus Ibi Est
5. You won’t let me down again
6. The Circus is Leaving Town
7. Something to Believe (my alarm in the morning, uhm afternoon, very nice, I can recommend )
8. Back Burner
9. Ramblin’ Man
10. Come Undone (James Brown rip off…)
11. Seafaring Song (very scarborough fairish oh well EDIT: oh no I meant Black Mountain)
12. Saturday’s Gone

The songs that didn’t make the cut:
13. Ballad of the Broken Seas
14. The Raven (Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra rip off and it’s not ok EDIT: no I meant The False Husband)
15. Get Behind Me
16. Sally, don’t you cry

Lists from all their songs together:
1. The Breaking Hands
2. Lately
3. To Hell & Back Again
4. Rambling Rose, Clinging Vine
5. Free to Walk
6. Time of the Season
7. Deus Ibi Est
8. Lord, I just can’t keep from crying
9. You won’t let me down again
10. The Circus is Leaving Town
11. Sleep City
12. Something to Believe

The ones that just didn’t make the cut:
13. Fight Fire with Fire
14. Back Burner
15. Hang On (this song is driving me nuts, for I am sure this is another rip off but I can’t figure it out arrrggghh)
16. Ramblin’ Man

[caitlin]

There's nothing they did I didn't like. I'd like a deluxe boxed set of the 3 albums, the EP, the live CD with any other extras and photos.

I think every song sung by Mark with Isobel is ok, not easy to choice

[mimie]

My favorites are definitely Back Burner and Come On Over (Turn Me On). I also love Deus Ibi Est and Saturday's Gone.

I had to leave out 'Who Built The Road', 'Free To Walk' and 'The False Husband', which I quite like, and would have put 'No Place To Fall' in there, if there were a studio version of it featuring Mark, having heard it on the second half of the Hawk tour, I thought it sounded fantastic.
