You just couldn't do this on one album, could you?

Well, going strictly by the best songs it would be something like:
disc one:
1. Garden of Dreams
2. Driver's Seat
disc two:
1. Monsters & Men
2. Stardust we are
3. The Truth will set you free
But that wouldn't be a very balanced release, just epics. Would it ?
So I will change disc two in:
1. Monster & Men
2. The Merry go Round
3. The Judas Kiss
4. Retropolis
5. Big Puzzle
6. Go West Judas (or Three Stories)
7. In the Eyes of the World

I agree entirely. I'll have a long think about it, but I'd probably need to make it a 6-disc set!!

Every post I have read on this thread I have agreed with - until I read the next compilation  It really is pretty well impossible to narrow down TFK to 2 disks. Apart from anything else, the list I choose today is certainly going to be a bit different tomorrow So much great music....

Well done Roger! A album that would deserve 10 out of 10, no doubt! Glad you included something from Rainmaker, Sword of God is really good!

Yes Pablo, I had just had to include one of TFK's "rockers". I love 'em all as they really make a great contribution to the albums. I decided to choose my favourite "rocker" which is the aforementioned Sword Of God. I also really love their other rockers like Adam & Eve, Paradox Hotel and Turn To Stone (from the Sum Of No Evil bonus disc).
