I know this has been done before, but I was reminded of it when someone mentioned "Cherry Pie" in the Rough Cutt thread. If you could take a hit album and either re-order it or add/replace tracks with recorded B-sides how would you make the tracklists. Here is my version of Cherry Pie... 1.Uncle Tom's Cabin 2.Thin Disguise 3.I Saw Red 4.Bed of Roses 5.Sure Feels Good to Me 6.Love in Stereo 7.Blind Faith 8.Song and Dance Man 9.You're the Only Hell Your Mama Ever Raised 10. Mr. Rainmaker I would have replaced Cherry Pie with Thin Disguise and taken off Train, Train. Probably wouldn't have been the commercial success it was without Cherry Pie but I enjoy my album more because I skip Cherry Pie everytime anyway.http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926387,926387#msg-926387Sat, 25 May 2013 06:40:51 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926387,926686#msg-926686 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926387,926686#msg-926686Its easy structured... yes, but still a good listen.

Timeless or music for 9 year olds?

For me Cherry Pie, the song, has/had a very limited lifespan. Like most, I now skip it entirely. I didn't really see the appeal at the time and it's diminsihed completely now.

The chasm between the band that wrote Cherry Pie and Uncle Tom's Cabin, I Saw Red, Sad Theresa, Blind Faith, Mr Rainmaker, Thin Disuise and Andy Warhol... is just immense.

I'm glad you like it. In my opinion it's banal nonsense and doesn't belong on any 'classic' listing.]]> rocknut NoticeboardFri, 11 Jan 2013 20:12:54 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926387,926435#msg-926435 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926387,926435#msg-926435
IMO Train, Train didn't suit the style of Warrant at the time at all and it didn't fit on the album. Therefore I would skip it or edit it out.

On the other hand, Cherry Pie, for me, is a timeless, genre defining, classic and one of my all time faves!]]> Daredevil NoticeboardFri, 11 Jan 2013 19:51:48 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926387,926422#msg-926422 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926387,926422#msg-926422 rocknut NoticeboardFri, 11 Jan 2013 18:52:26 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926387,926420#msg-926420 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926387,926420#msg-926420
