The back, or “u-card” of the Vocals On Top compilation, The Best of… Nada Surf

Nada Surf is a very underrated band. Most people have heard their song “Popular” but don’t know much else. “Popular” may have put them on the map but the song is not representative of their sound and in my opinion, not one of their best songs either. That is why you will see it absent from my best of list for the band.

Here is the tracklist:

• Blizzard Of ‘77
• See These Bones
• When I Was Young
• The Blankest Year
• Stalemate
• Blonde On Blonde
• Always Love
• Waiting For Something
• Hyperspace
• Hi-speed Soul
• Whose Authority
• What Is Your Secret?
• Inside Of Love
• The Moon Is Calling
• Enjoy The Silence
• 80 Windows
• Weightless
• Zen Brain

The track listing is current through their 7th studio album The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy and each of those album are covered on my 18 song list. “Enjoy The Silence” is a Depeche Mode cover, every other song is an original by Matthew Caws and company. I created the artwork for this compilation (my 7th one) based on my favorite song by the band “Blonde On Blonde” I feel it also represents the sound of the group.

This compilation is not for sale or download. Feel free to download the artwork and print it and make the compilation from iTunes or your own collection.
