AlphaMale Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Here is a new thread idea for everyone. We all love making "best of" compilations of our favorite artists/bands. These compilations will be limited to an 80 minute CDR, so choose your songs wisely. Our first "best of" band is: CRASHDIET. This will be very difficult to fit their best on one 80 minute CDR but that's what makes this fun! So if you had to limit yourself to an 80 minute disc, what would your "Best Of CrashDiet" compilation be?? I'll return and add mine after I figure it out.

JamesEagle Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Good idea for a thread, but imo a surprising choice for the first band as their back catalogue is quite small. Admittedly, I haven't heard the new album, but I would have no chance of filling 80 minutes with their stuff; I'd probably get to about 7 songs. When there's a Scorpions, Ratt or Death (!) version of the thread I might be more able to contribute... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettard Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 13)Lickin' Dog i cannot get into this song at all.... Me either! Not rocket science lyrics of course but its the g'n'r guitar riff midway through that gets this a nod from me...and it is a bonus track,maybe even a hidden bonus track if it goes to track 15 instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Could I also also shout out for Wrecking Machine Out Of The Cold Tomorrow :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesEagle Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 If I did a Crashdiet compilation, 'Chemical' would be the first song on it. And probably somewhere in the middle too. Such a great song, easily their best imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First list without 'Falling rain.' And even more oddly, it's replaced with 'In the raw,' a very middle-road rocker? Haha, to each their own. Just pointing out that you're a creep. And everyone else thinks you are too. Seriously, though, on a weaker album, 'Falling rain' is one of my overall favourite Crashdiet songs. No compilation of the band's work would be complete without it, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says he with 'Rebel' in his list which an even more average rocker ;-) Seriously though there are at least 3 demos which beat virtually everything in my list - Tomorrow Wrecking Machine Hot All Through The Night If you haven't heard these check them out on You Tube - criminal that these haven't been released!!

Geoff Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 'Tomorrow' is a great tune, but clearly the launching pad for 'It's a miracle.' Not sure I've heard 'Wrecking machine' before. Sounds pretty sweet. What sessions is that from? And not sure I've heard 'Hot All Through The Night' - that's a great one for sure. Definitely still think 'Rebel' is one of their best songs of all. Killer riff, just the kind of song I love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions; incredible how they can differ so much when general tastes are quite similar. For me, 'Chemical' is by far Crashdiet's best song. Head and shoulders above every other tune they've done.
