Muse Greatest Hits?

[Boombleeb]

What if they made a Greatest Hits album? (A album which includes a bands most popular songs)

 

What tracks do you think would be on it?

[Destroya]

No, it will be pointless unless you want to introduce fans to older tracks. Plus it will be less likely that rarities and b-sides will be played at future tours. If anything the only compilation album they need is a selection of B-Sides post OOS era (or all of them over a couple of discs just to be super epic).

Not too many to choose from after OoS. You have The Groove, Eternally Missed, Fury, Crying Shame, Easily, Glorious, Assassin GOB edit, Popcorn, Prague ( do we want that one?) and Soaked. I think that is pretty much it. Now there were several B-sides that never made it to Hullabaloo such as the studio verdion of Agitated, Host, Do We Need This ( a b-side so awesome that it was a final song during the Showbiz tour) and Minimum, I would not mind having them on a disc.

 

But an actual greatest hits album? Not too sure, would possibly be better to do a "best songs" compilation like Oasis did with Stop The Clocks, that album missed some massive hits in order to get some awesome B-sides on.

 

I suppose they could do something like this

 

Disc 1

 

1. Take a Bow

2. Interlude

3. Hysteria

4. Map of the Problematique

5. Super Massive Black Hole

6. Supremacy

7. Sunburn

8. Dead Inside

9. Uno

10. Muscle Museum

11. Mercy

12. Reapers

13. Hyper Music

14. Stockholm Syndrome

15. Psycho

 

Disc 2

 

1. New Born

2. Survival

3. Panic Station

4. Bliss

5. Butterflies and Hurricanes

6. Feeling Good

7. Dead Star

8. Madness

9. Resistance

10. Aftermath

11. Plug In Baby

12. Starlight

13. Uprising

14. Knights of Cydonia

[Finn.]

I think the point of a Greatest Hits album will be to show mainstream audiences their greatest hits. Old fans can skip it, of course.

 

Something like this

 

01. Sunburn

02. Muscle Museum

03. New Born

04. Plug in Baby

05. Feeling Good

06. Time is Running Out

07. Hysteria

08. Butterflies & Hurricanes

09. Starlight

10. Supermassive Black Hole

11. Knights of Cydonia

12. Uprising

13. Resistance

14. Madness

15. Mercy

Basically what was made obsolete what with the internet and everything.
