Only looked through the first 2 pages but surprised songs from All Hail West Texas don't feature much at all as it's probably my favourite album :S

preach. I considered just putting "All Hail West Texas in it's entirety" instead of choosing 10 songs.]]> houndchronicles Mountain Goats Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:08:29 -0700 http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?2,33018,141238#msg-141238 Re: Top 10 Favorite Songs by The Mountain Goats http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?2,33018,141238#msg-141238 Okay, here we go.

Gojam Province 1968
Emerging
Satori in Denver
Hebrews 11:40
Sign of the Crow
Pure Honey (idk I was way drunk and totally rocking the fuck out to this song when I put it on the list and I feel like those are the sort of things you're just supposed to leave alone)
The Young Thousands
Whole Wide World
Attention All Pickpockets
International Small Arms Traffic Blues


I made this into a playlist and I've been listening to it on repeat and I'm like completely in love with all of these songs every time, w/ the exception of Pure Honey which is really starting to grate but them's the breaks when you insist on appeasing the inscrutable whims of your drunken self I guess?? I would replace it with Steal Smoked Fish for the line 'angels who don't love you' & for the contrast it makes with Damn These Vampires (idk if this has been mentioned anywhere but it seems like an addendum to AED because the three word title seems a little contrived) but I dug this grave and I'm going to lie in it

also just want to edit to add that Satori in Denver is on this list primarily because driving with the windows down at night is like one of my top ten favorite things ever]]> toaster-chan Mountain Goats Tue, 13 Nov 2012 16:13:51 -0800
