Surprised that Open Arms didn’t make it. Nor the olympics coverage theme from 2012.

It must be a legal thing as otherwise it should certainly be on the track listing.
I hope this does well for them as they have released so many good tracks over the years. |

This must be one of the few Greatest Hits collections that leaves off the band's highest charting hits. Asleep In The Back, Fallen Angel & Lost Myself, all top 20 hits, didn't make the cut, on either the standard or deluxe edition! I wonder if there's rights issues around these tracks as well (as I recall, their first 3 albums were released on a different label, therefore it's probably more expensive to licence them for the GH, hence why they've might have stuck to minimal tracks from these releases).

I didn’t even spot the omission of Asleep In The Back - one of my absolute faves of theirs.

There is a reasonable amount of variation, it's only The Seldom Seen Kid which has a lot of representation.
02 Cast of Thousands 02 Asleep in the Back 04 Leaders of the Free World 08 The Seldom Seen Kid 04 Build a Rocket Boys! 04 The Take Off and Landing of Everything 03 Little Fictions They have left singles off from all albums (only 2 of their 4 from Little Fictions, 3/5 from The Take Off... and just 1/3 from Build a Rocket Boys) but then it is a Best Of, rather than a Greatest Hits, which I think makes sense when you look at some of the stuff that weren't chosen as singles. Really interesting choices overall. |

For me Asleep In The Back and Cast Of Thousands is when they were TRULY great, it's a shame they're not really represented here.
