A couple of notes. First, I realize I completely failed to talk about "A Letter to Elise." My bad, awful oversight. But truth be told it's a fairly forgettable track for me as it seems like a lesser retread of "Pictures of You." If I were to make my version of the album by replacing album tracks with b-sides, this would be one of the ones I'd cut. Sorry, I know that hurts many of you out there deeply. :(

And I also didn't mention specifically what songs I think should have made the album which I meant to do but forgot. So here we go:

I'd take out: Wendy Time, Friday, I'm in Love, A Letter to Elise
I'd add: This Twilight Garden, Play, The Big Hand
