need some fun and happiness :) - pick your 12 or so songs for a compilation

[sup_fan]

as we all stare at the tv, watching the results nervously, i figured we could use a distraction

so it's wishlist time again!! i know we've done these before but who the fuck cares! :) let's make ourselves happy and i know 'the girls' do it for me


You have 1 lp or cd to fill as the latest "greatest hits/compilation" album. what songs would you pick? would you just highlight the hits or include the rarities? DR solo included alongside Sup tracks?

[sup_fan]

i would do the following and base it off of a "rare classics" style approach. a few hits but more undiscovered treasures

as a vinyl lp:
You Can't Hurry Love
Blue Room
Love Child
stoned Love
Let yourself go
automatically sunshine
come see about me
you bring back memories
ain't that good news
Try it baby
you can't stop a girl in love
up the ladder

As a cd:
You Can't Hurry Love
Blue Room
Love Child
stoned Love
Let yourself go
automatically sunshine
come see about me
you bring back memories
ain't that good news
Try it baby
you can't stop a girl in love
up the ladder
millie/rose/mame from TOTT
Back in my arms again
going down third time
beginning of the end
long gone lover
river deep mountain high
i'm gonna let my heart do the walking
you're nobody till somebody from Copa 67
don't let my teardrops bother you
sweet dream machine

[TYK1986]

Not watching the tv and totally not interested in US politics/ presidents blah blah blah. No disrespect for you guys across the pond btw. But as you need some happiness here's my compilation of 12 songs.

Not in any particular order
Stoned Love [[all time fave Supremes song)
Someday we'll be together [[Been listening to Someday pretty often lately)
Come See about Me [[tied with You can't hurry love fave Diana Lead song)
Wonderful World [[Best song of the concept albums)
Love Train [[best unreleased Jean song)
Let yourself go [[One of the best Scherrie lead songs)
You Can't Hurry Love [[They play it too often but love it)
Back in my Arms [[Been listening to this song more often lately)
Nathan Jones [[Bananarama)
Touch me in the Morning [[fave Diana solo song)
Forever came today [[Actually like this song)
Reach out and Touch [[Finish the LP with a corny sing a long song)

Don't want to add too many album fillers or b-sides as there are not that many that I could listen to over and over.

[lucky2012]

Thanks for letting me leave the Election for a few moments! Limiting my list to 12, a compilation of favorite hits and album cuts, was actually easier to do than I expected.

1. Your Heart Belongs To Me [[favorite no-hits Supremes)
2. Come See About Me [[favorite DMF hit)
3. Everything's Good About You [[favorite DMF album cut)
4. You Can't Hurry Love [[my other favorite DMF hit)
5. Love Child [[favorite DRATS hit)
6. How Long Has That Evening Train Been Gone? [[favorite DRATS album cut)
7. Stoned Love [[favorite JMC hit)
8. Love Hangover [[favorite DR hit, at this particular moment)
9. Missing You [[favorite RCA hit)
10. Summertime [[favorite RCA album track)
11. Waiting In The Wings [[favorite Return to Motown album track, at this moment)
12. Every Day Is A New Day [[favorite track from her last studio album, pretending I Love You doesn't really count)

On this nail-biting Election day, I think I would be perfectly happy if I was dropped off on a beautiful desert island with just these 12 songs.

[sup_fan]

so i went with the rare classic approach, another list is mostly Sup hits along with a few surprises and a third list is a real mix of DR and Sup.

Swept away
Shine
Stranger in paradise
All of you
Summertime
Touch by touch
Missing you
You do it
That's how you start over
Pieces of ice

[daviddh]

You keep me hanging [[on Motown story )version
Going down for the third time
Shake me wake me
This old heart of mine
My world is empty without you
Remove this doubt
Love is in our hearts
Love is here and now you're gone
Love makes me do foolish things
Love is an itching in my heart
I guess I'll always love you
Your gone but always in my heart

[daviddh]

Where did our love go
When the lovelight starts
Baby love
Long gone lover
Come see about me
Mr blues
Standing at the crossroads
Come on boy
Bye baby
Breath taking guy
Don't take it away
Ask any girl

[floyjoy678]

Ain't No Mountain High Enough [[album version)
Don't Let My Teardrops Bother You

[daviddh]

Take me higher
If you're not gonna love me
Keep it right there
Too many nights
Gone
Only love can conguer all
I thought we were still in love
Not over you yet remix
Carry on
Sugar free
Everyday is a new day
Love is all that matters

[daviddh]

Together we can make sweet music
Stoned love
Time to break down
Love it came to me this time
Here comes the sunrise
Love train
Have I lost you
Shine on me
Touch
This is the story

[daviddh]

Cream of the crop

For once in my life
Let the music play
McArthur park

[RanRan79]

I would actually go with a comp of the group's deep cuts. The hits are so many, and it never really makes sense to leave any of them off, which doesn't leave much room, if any, for anything else. So here's my disk:

Never Again
Long Gone Lover
Because
Sunset
Aint That Good News
I'm In Love Again
My Christmas Tree
Wonderful, Wonderful
Baby I Need Your Loving
I Guess I'll Always Love You
Bah, Bah, Bah
The Music That Makes Me Dance
This Guy's In Love With You
I'll Set You Free
Discover Me
Why Must We Fall In Love
Loving You Is Better Than Ever
I Got Hurt
Knock On My Door
Is There A Place
I'm Glad About It
This Is the Story
Do You Love Me Just A Little
A Heart Like Mine
5:30 Plane
You Turn Me Around
Don't Let My Teardrops Bother You
Sweet Dream Machine

[daviddh]

Let me go the right way
Funny how time slips away
You send me
My heart can't take it no more
It makes no difference
You didn't care
Shake
Buttered popcorn
Those dj shows
Lazy bones
You heart belongs to me
Baby doll
You need me
Sunset
Change gonna come
Bring it on home to me

[daviddh]

Around the world in 80 days
Somewhere
Michelle
Yesterday
Mr sandman
Our day will come
Sleepwalk
People
Boy from ipanema
All of a sudden my heart sings
Something for my heart
Ain't that good news

It's in his kiss
Where do we go from here

In the ones you love
Promises you ll try
Best years of my life
Change of heart
When you tell me that love me
Blame it on the sun
Change of heart
The force behind the power
Battlefield
Heavy weather
Endless love
Missing you
Waiting in the wings
One shinning moment
