It SHOULD have been.  No doubt about it. But they couldn't get anything right after Vitology.

....and that REM list has the top 5 right but they're all out of order.  For shame.

Awesome list. All are incredible songs. I love that you have 4 from No Code, which is undoubtedly their best. And "Cropduster" is VERY underappreciated. Cameron writes some killer tracks.

I'm not sure what we're considering "deep cuts" here. Is it anything that isn't a single? Stuff they don't really play live much? Does "Last Exit" or "Blood" count?

Here's mine:
1.) Breath
2.) Sleight of Hand
3.) In My Tree
4.) Faithfull
5.) Evacuation
6.) Hold On
7.) Of the Earth
8.) Johnny Guitar
9.) You Are
10.) Army Reserve
---
11.) Low Light
12.) U
13.) Immortality
14.) Present Tense
15.) Cropduster

13.) Immortality
14.) Present Tense

2 of my favorites for sure.  The last one comes across so much better when played live.

Ohhh...oohhh!  Does everyone get to do one?  Can I do "Ten Best Oasis songs that rip off either 'Dear Prudence' or 'All The Young Dudes'?"

YES on the former. No on both for the latter. Maybe in 2000 Blood would have been a deep cut as that song was dormant for years. I forgot to include Satan's Bed too because they really don't play it too much live, even after bringing it back.

Present Tense is arguably one of their top 5 live longs. It just kicks SO MUCH FUCKING ASS live. Also, I find the production on No Code to be really lacking. Except for a few songs (Smile, Sometimes, Hail Hail, Red Mosquito), the No Code songs are so much better live, it's a ridiculous. I think, in general, the production on PJ albums is so inconsistent. Ten is over produced, Vs is about right, Vitalogy is perfect, No Code is lacking, Yield is very good, Binaural is up and down, Riot Act is about right.
