Okay, so if you got to help pick 10 songs that were the “best” of Jack Johnson, what would you say would make the cut?  Anyone want to start a list and see if we can come up with 10 that we would all agree on?

Add to the list and feel free to take off songs if you think they shouldn’t be there! 

I’ll start with 3 songs I think should definitely be considered the Best of the best.

1.  Bubble Toes

2.  Better Together

3.  Constellations

Agree?  Disagree?  Can we make a Top Ten list????  :)

So ours combined would be 12 songs.  Which two would get the ax and not make the album?
1.  Bubble Toes
2.  Better Together
3.  Constellations
4.  Good People
5.  Flake
6.  Rodeo Clowns
7.  Staple it Together
8.  Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythologies
9.  Hope
10. All at Once
11. At or With Me
12. Upside Down

I’d have to say Staple it Together and probably Upside Down would have to go, even though UD is one of my faves too.

I would say staple it together and constellations wouldn’t make the cut

Constellations, really?

Hmmmm…

I was debating about At or With Me too.  I love it, but if I had to only pick 10 songs for an album, I’m not sure that’s one his best.

We need so more people to weigh in!

These 9 were the ones more than one person listed:

1. Bubble Toes
2. Better Together
3. Good People
4. Flake
5. Rodeo Clowns
6. Banana Pancakes
7. Constellations
8. Holes to Heaven
9. All at Once

So, do you agree/disagree if Jack was putting out an album of ONLY the 10 BEST songs that these should be there?

And what about that last spot??

Taylor?  Mudfootball?  Home?  Symbol in My Driveway?  Angel?

Something else?????

Not that it’s my favorite, but Upside down is one of Jacks most popular songs, so I definitely think it should be on there somewhere…

From your list I would have to say Mudfootball (my favorite) or Angel for the last spot

Well, I love Upside Down too.  Dang, he’s got a lot of really really great songs!

Yeah that would be easier.  I thought it would be fun to try to define the 10 that are the “best of the best”. It’s much harder than I thought, especially when I remember yet another song I love!
