Fall Out Boy - a compilation worthy of approval?

I made a CD-mix of as many Fall Out Boy songs as I could find. I don't know if they're good or bad or indifferent. For those fans out there who think I missed a vital song, let me know.

Here's the list of songs I've compiled:

01: Chicago Is So Two Years Ago
02: A Little Less Sixteen Candles...
03: Yule Shoot Your Eye Out
04: Where Is Your Boy Tonight
05: Of All The Gin Joints...
06: Sugar, We're Goin' Down
07: This Ain't A Scene...
08: Pretty In Punk
09: Not Falling
10: The Carpal Tunnel...
11: More Than I Can Take
12: Dance, Dance
13: The Pros and Cons of Breathing
14: Hallucination
15: Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner (is this about what I think its about?)
16: 7 Minutes In Heaven
17: Start The Show
18: Calm Before The Storm
19: Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (is this what I think its about?)
20: Champagne For My Real Friends...
21: XO
22: Reinventing The Wheel...
23: I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy...


if you think I have a couple of "clunkers" in there and am missing some "gems," please tell me which songs to chuck and which songs to add...

thanks!

"Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today" should be on it. I'll run down the rest of the list:

01: Chicago Is So Two Years Ago - keep
02: A Little Less Sixteen Candles...- keep
03: Yule Shoot Your Eye Out- keep
04: Where Is Your Boy Tonight - keep (Actually titled Grand Theft Autumn)
05: Of All The Gin Joints... - keep
06: Sugar, We're Goin' Down - keep
07: This Ain't A Scene... - keep
08: Pretty In Punk - ditch, their oldest stuff is a little lackluster
09: Not Falling - ditch, don't think this is by them, or mislabled
10: The Carpal Tunnel... - keep
11: More Than I Can Take - ditch, don't think this is by them, or mislabled
12: Dance, Dance - keep
13: The Pros and Cons of Breathing - keep
14: Hallucination - ditch, don't think this is by them, or mislabled
15: Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner (is this about what I think its about?) - keep
16: 7 Minutes In Heaven - keep
17: Start The Show - ditch, don't think this is by them, or mislabled
18: Calm Before The Storm - keep
19: Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (is this what I think its about?) - ditch, not that good
20: Champagne For My Real Friends... - ditch, not that good
21: XO - ditch, not that good
22: Reinventing The Wheel... - keep
23: I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy... - keep

I might add Thriller from the new album as well. The only song from their oldest album I would add is "Honorable Mention". "The Music or the Misery" is pretty good for a B-side, as is "Gay Is Not A Synonym For Shitty."

Most/all of their song titles have nothing to do with the actual song, they are either twists on cliches or movie/book references.

How about Patron Saint of Liars & Fakes?

Since you told me to discard so many sub-par (or non-Fall Out Boy) songs, what other titles can you recommend other than the ones you did?

I personally like Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year.

You should add 'Snitches & Talkers Get Stitches & Walkers', and maybe 'Thnks Fr Th Mmrs'.

I second 'Thnks Fr Th Mmrs'. It's one of my favorite tracks from the new album.

It is required by me that you add "Grand theft Autumn" as it is the dang shizzy. And you do in fact have a few non FOB songs on that list as dvd182 mentioned.

We saw these guys when we went to Letterman's show about 2 weeks ago. Could barely understand them.
