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

    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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    some interesting lists! and thanks y'all for playing along

    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.

    nice!!

    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

    For a bonus track I would add either Let Yourself Go or You're What's Missing in My Life

    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

    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

    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
