Look what I just worked out...

[junkymotown]

Ok... so there's 11 MSP studio albums. There are 141 tracks on those albums (not including bonus tracks/foreign releases/reissues/anniversary editions/greatest hits).

I have seen 79 of them performed live over 10 gigs.
Not bad going really!

Here's the breakdown...

GT - 9/18
GATS - 5/10
THB - 9/13
EMG - 7/12
TIMTTMY - 6/13
KYE - 7/16
LB - 6/12
SATT - 7/10
JPFL - 13/13
PFAYM - 3/12
RTF - 7/12

I've only been going to gigs since 2001 too. I think TIMTTMY/KYE/PFAYM need a bit of effort putting in! It's all those mid-album tracks that seem to disappear into the ether (yes, I'm talking about you His Last Painting and Be Natural!).

Anyway... all this really proves is that my ways of keep myself occupied while my newborn sleeps are probably not finely-honed enough yet.

It's worth adding that some of them (A Design for Life / If You Tolerate This) have been played multiple times, others just the once (Ready for Drowning, Miss Europa Disco Dancer). Then there are all the non-album tracks (Masses, There by the Grace of God, Motown Junk, Firefight) that have popped up. This is just the studio albums.

Ooh, fun stuff.

GT - 7 and a bit/18
GATS - 5/10
THB - 9/13
EMG - 9/12
TIMTTMY - 6/13
KYE - 9/16
LB - 7/12
SATT - 8/10
JPFL - 13/13
PFAYM - 7/12
RTF - 7 and a bit/12

Err... also 7 covers, 8 b-sides and 3 non-album singles (counted MASH in the covers).. Oh it starts to get messy, technically Forever Delayed is a b-side but Judge Y'rself isn't. Oh, I dunno.

I worked out all the tracks I've heard live once I'll have to find the list.

I guessed as much

Can't bring myself to work out the bonus tracks/b-sides/non-album stuff...

Altho thinking about it... I guess it's probably not that tough.

Masses
This is the Day
Firefight
Forever Delayed
There by the Grace of God
All the Heavenly tracks... (Sorrow 16, We Her Majesty's Prisoners, Starlover, Motown Junk)
Last Christmas
Can't Take My Eyes off You
Suicide is Painless

And that's probably it

[tzb]

Umbrella...

[junkymotown]

scultptureofabloke is in the lead at the mo with 87 (89 if we include the 'bits' of tracks)
junkymotown with 79
tzb with 73.5

(are those 'part songs' Condemned to Rock N Roll by any chance? if so, I included it!)

[tzb]

Yeah that's the one. It's a part song, no big solo no full number!
