Based on all the mp3s I have and such, I'm attempting to whittle down my favourite songs that I think my mate will like, seeing as she's never heard any before. I'm limiting myself to one 80-minute CD, so I've had to brutally ditch some of the more obvious ones (no New York x2, for example), and some albums get a shorter shrift than others (one from Jacksonville/Easy Tiger/29, nothing from Cold Roses), while the "Do I include Whiskeytown" conundrum rages on...

The list looks like this (in no order):
To Be Young
Answering Bell
So Alive
I See Monsters
Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight
La Cienega Just Smiled
Sylvia Plath
Halloween
My Winding Wheel
Oh My Sweet Carolina
Come Pick Me Up
Dear Chicago
Anybody Wanna Take Me Home
English Girls Approximately
Strawberry Wine
The End
Hey There, Mrs. Lovely
Avenues
Oh My God, Whatever, Etc.

Suggestions?
