"Your Greatest Hits Album"

I thought i'd post this here because it'll get the most replies. Basically if you were to compile a collaboration of your favourite 21 songs on a CD, what would they be. One song per band/artist only please. So here's mine:

1. The Libertines - Death On The Stairs
2. Bloc Party - Two More Years
3. Editors - Someone Says
4. Dirty Pretty Things - Doctors And Dealers
5. Lost Prophets - Last Summer
6. Babyshambles - Sedative
7. Kasabian - LSF (Lost Souls Forever)
8. Hard-Fi - Hard To Beat
9. Maximo Park - Going Missing
10. Saliva - Always
11. Kaiser Chiefs - Modern Way
12. Hawthorne Heights - We Are So Last Year
13. Rise Against - Behind Closed Doors
14. Doves - Black And White Town
15. The View - Superstar Tradesman
16. Taking Back Sunday - Liar (It Takes One To Know One)
17. The Killers - Mr Brightside
18. Franz Ferdinand - 40'
19. The Bravery - Unconditional
20. Yeti - Never Lose Your Sense Of Wonder
21. Oasis - Wonderwall

This is also a good way of finding out each others music tastes as well as being a boredom buster. You can also give you opinions on others choices if you wish, but get your own greatest hits album in... NOW!
