Rate the OLP singles from worst to best (including pre-Naveed demos)

Postby Heavy Alibi » 3/15/2011, 8:31 am

Sorry if I'm getting annoying with these list ideas, but I'm bored and for some reason I'm in the mood to do these. I'm including the pre-Naveed demos, Blind Anniversary and Out of Here, which are listed as singles on Wikipedia (not sure if that's accurate?).

Here's my approximate list (some are hard to decide):


28. The End Is Where We Begin
27. Where Are You?
26. Will the Future Blame Us?
25. Made of Steel
24. All You Did Was Save My Life
23. Kiss on the Mouth
22. Dreamland
21. Innocent
20. Somewhere Out There
19. Supersatellite
18. Right Behind You
17. Angels/Losing/Sleep
16. Blind Anniversary
15. The Birdman
14. Hope
13. In Repair
12. Life
11. Out of Here
10. Is Anybody Home?
9. Starseed
8. One Man Army
7. Naveed
6. Carnival
5. Automatic Flowers
4. Superman’s Dead
3. Clumsy
2. Thief
1. 4 AM

Blind Anniversary wasn't a single. Here's the best I can do. This is kind of relative. I still like OLP's "Average" but there are plenty of bands where that wouldn't be the case.


Worst

Where Are You?


Bad

Innocent
Out of Here


Average

The End Is Where We Begin
Kiss on the Mouth
All You Did Was Save My Life
Dreamland
Made of Steel
Hope
Supersatellite
Is Anybody Home?
Life
4 AM
Somewhere Out There
Starseed
Clumsy


Good

One Man Army
Naveed
Will the Future Blame Us?
The Birdman
Carnival
Automatic Flowers
Superman’s Dead
Right Behind You


Best

In Repair
Angels/Losing/Sleep
Thief

    Just curious -- why is Blind Anniversary in your list of singles?

    That's right, I forgot you had pointed out that it wasn't a single above... I just copied and pasted my list from above without thinking. Still a good song though.

    It wasn't commercially released as a single, but a disc was sent to Canadian radio stations:

    It's pretty rare though.

    I have that single.. Got all of them up to Where Are You.Only missing vinyl of Needle and Damage Done. That is my prized collection concerning OLP. Took me a few years to get everything..I do not know if there were any physical singles to anything released afterwards.

    I know Julia( piano). Imagine( live) and RBY released as part of Fan Club ..

    Not necessarily the best but my all time favorite song is a single
    HOPE.. Naveed( close second) is by far best single. NO argument there.

    Worse-well one I dislike the most is a tie
    Automatic Flowers and OMA.. If I never ever hear or see those songs again would be a great day. I know alot of people love AF but I don't.

    I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again
