The Church: 15 Best Songs & New Remasters

It's been a great year for The Church.  Not only are they celebrating their 30th Anniversary, but they were also given their country's highest musical honor - a permanent place in Australia's Recording Arts Hall of Fame (ARIA).  2010 also begins a massive reissue of their back catalog by Second Motion Records.  Already available - remastered with bonus tracks, photos and brand new liner notes by guitarist Marty Wilson-Piper - are their first two full-length albums:  Of Skins And Hearts, The Blurred Crusade, along with a double-disc, career-spanning singles collection: Deep In The Shallows. Tuesday, November 16th sees the release of Seance and Heyday.

... And now I present to you my selections for The Church's 15 Best Songs.  As you may be aware, this band has a gigantic catalog, so narrowing it down to just 15 choices was very difficult!  As always, feel free to leave comments.  Please enjoy.  :)   - Bret
