ROUND 1 - The Wilderness Years, Non-Album Tracks, Pt. 4

Post by Flex »

The last small handful of tracks, all originally appearances on other artist's albums. I can also use this space if you tell me I fucked up and forgot a non-Meskies, non-101ers, non-Clash song.

Addendum: Also, I realized I'd left off a few 12" single b-sides for Island Hopping and Gangsterville so I'm tacking those onto this poll. So you can re-vote on this one if you want to.

Addendum II: Closed re-voting since everyone should have had a chance to make a move by now if they wanted.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

"Let Me Show You" barely even features Joe. I just included it so none of you could be wiseasses about me leaving something out.

Joe should have left Redemption Song (and the Harder They Come) well alone.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

The originals are killer tracks.

Did I miss them, or have 'Tunnel Of Love' with pablo Cook and 'Ocean Of Dreams' with Steve Jones not been included? I'd have been voting both off anyway.

I don't think either of those we're officially released, were they? I skipped a few other Joe tracks that never saw official release.

If they did get an official release, I'll toss them in the next round.
