Something Bracket In The Mannequin Wilderness (Andrew McMahon bracket) Bracket • Page 9

So I thought about making a top-something, then I started thinking about all the great songs that aren't even on full-lengths and fell down that rabbit hole. So here's a top 10 b-sides/EP tracks/etc. that was still somehow very difficult to narrow down.

1. Walking By
2. Watch the Sky
3. The Lights and Buzz
4. Wait (I know Andrew didn't write this one but I've always adored this song)
5. No Man Is an Island
6. Sleazy Wednesday
7. Synesthesia
8. Shelter Breaks
9. Doris Day
10. There, There Katie

 

Walking By and Watch the Sky are definitely both in my SoCo top five. Walking By is in my Andrew top five, although that one is much harder to actually pin down.

 

No Man is an Island, Synesthesia and There There Katie are three of my favorite Andrew songs.
