TOPIC: Greatest EP / CD5 Single of all time

Post 1 of 7
SO I'm curious what EPs and multitrack singles people dig. I had alot in consideration, including:

-The Features EP
-The Beginning EP
-The Half Baked Serenade, by Self (marketed as an EP)
-The Bullet with Butterfly Wings single, from The Aeroplane Flies High, by the Smashing Pumpkins, for both Said Sadly (Iha's best song) and a stack of new wave covers that amaze me
-The Guitar Single by They Might Be Giants
-Airbag/ How's My Driving? by Radiohead

but in the end, it was easy...

Chronic Town by REM- were 5 better songs ever assembled?

You may like grandma's yard gnomes, but I've seen Rock City. Remember it.

The only band whose singles I religiously follow is Oasis. Out of all my favorite bands Oasis seems to be the only one that actually puts effort into their B-sides (Sheryl Crow is all about the live stuff etc etc). The Some Might Say, Wonderwall and Whatever singles are brilliant. Those three singles, to me, capture Oasis at their musical prime (although they still "rule me").

And of course The Beginning. That CD filled my Features fix from October 01 through March 02.

The Cost of Living: The Clash

Tracks include: I Fought the Law, Gates to the West, Groovy Times, and Capitol Radio Two.

A Fucking Great E.P if you ask me, but I'm a huge Clash fan.

Ditto Chronic Town. It gets me every time.
