Someone recently asked me to name my top 10 The National songs — this is a nearly impossible task given the fact that there are live and alternate recordings of each song out there and on top of that a new album is days away and I am in love with two of those tracks.
Anyway, pre High Violet here it is:
- About Today (White Sessions)
- Fake Empire (Live)
- All the Wine
- Abel
- Murder Me Rachel (live)
- Apt Story
- Start A War
- All Dolled up in Straps
- Cardinal Song
- Slow Show / 29 Years
