While not a REAL album by any means, this Fan Club compilation puts together eight songs cut from 3 albums (IAW, Awake and FII) and is nearly album-length.

For purposes of choosing songs, I've put together both "To Live Forever" versions as ONE choice, so if you pick an option with the song in it, you can take whichever version you want as that choice, be it '91 or '94.

Going to go with the first option - DLPM is a great track and should have been on IAW. Eve is an amazing instrumental as well, unlike anything they have done then or since, and TLF is pretty good too.

The FII tracks are great, but the earlier ones are just a bit better.

To Live Forever - Eve - Raise The Knife, I guess. It contains two half-way decent songs, which makes it a winner here.

Nothing wrong with that... I went with that option as well; it immediately jumped out at me.

Raise The Knife is one of my favorite DT songs, however I don't much care for Eve, so I went with RTK, Where Are You Now and The Way It Used To Be, since I'm quite fond of the latter two anyway.

First option. Love Don't Look Past Me, so it made the choice easy for me.

Pretty much same here.  Even though Eve is exponentially the worst song on the compilation, the other two are so good I had to go with that option.

Option 1, because it includes my two favorite songs and my 4th favorite song on this release.

Option 2 for me, but I really adore both Speak To Me and Cover My Eyes as well  ::)

I picked the first choice.  "Eve" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, in my opinion, and the other two are extremely solid tunes.  I must note, however, that I've never listened to "Raise the Knife."  Just a personal stance, because I don't think MP should've penned lyrics about a former band member like that, and I don't think the band should've allowed the lyrics to be recorded.  But I hear it's a good song musically.

Difficult poll, cuz Cleaning Out The Closet is not a CD I listen to in sequence.  Always hopping tracks.

Unlegit

Prefer Where Are You Now? just ever so slightly over To Live Forever, and Raise the Knife and Eve are easily the best two songs on the album, so that's my choice.

Last option: includes "Speak To Me", one of my favourite DT tracks ever.
