Take all SR/TJ albums and decide the best versions of each track

[Osiris12345]

I'm bored and I seem to enjoy making threads like this. To put it simply: Take all of her albums and say which version you think is the best version of each song.

I'll start.

Muzai Moratorium
1. Tadashii Machi - Electric Mole
2. Kabukichou no Joou - Ringohan
3. Marunouchi Sadistic - Dynamite Out (With EM at a VERY close second)
4. Koufukuron (Etsuraku hen) - Electric Mole
5. Akane Sasu Kiro Terasaredo - album
6. Sid to Hakuchumuu - MAYONAKA WA JUNKETSU SINGLE (So much so that it's hard for me to even listen to the original track)
7. Tsumiki Asobi - Zazen Ecstacy
8. Koko De Kiss Shite - DYNAMITE OUT (I used to hate this song but DO converted me)
9. Onaji Yoru - Gekokujyo Ecstasy
10. Keikoku - Electric Mole
11. Morphine - album (As far as I know, she hasn't done this one live)

Shouso Strip
1. Kyogenshou - album
2. Yokushitsu - HF version fused with Le Salle de Bain
3. Benkai Debussy - Gekokujyo Ecstasy
4. Gibs - album
5. Yami ni Furu Ame - album
6. Identity - album
7. Tsumi to Batsu - ALBUM ALBUM ALBUM ALBUM ALBUM (Yeah, you get the point...)
8. Stoicism - album
9. Tsuki ni Makeinu - Dynamite Out
10. Sakana - Zazen Ecstacy
11. Byoushou Public - Gekokujyo Ecstasy
12. Honnou - ALBUM (Oh, come on! This is just a classic! It's almost impossible to duplicate live!)
13. Izonshou - album

KSK
1. Shuukyou - album (By default since she's never performed it live)
2. Doppelganger - Electric Mole (Album version fits MUCH better in the context of the album but I find myself getting into the arrangement more from EM)
3. Meisai - album
4. Odaiji ni - album (Though EM is VERY close)
5. Yattsuke Shigoto - album (*dodges hisses and tomatoes from ZCS fans*)
6. Kuki - album (Unless Yahiko's mix of both versions of Stem count, then that one! That completely gave me a new appreciation for the song!)
7. Torikoshi Kurou - album (BX's version is very cool though)
8. Okonomi de - Electric Mole (See Doppelganger)
9. Ishiki - album (What can I say? I love the flute and digeredoo!)
10. Poltergeist - ALBUM (EM doesn't even compare and don't even try to argue HF)
11. Souretsu - ALBUM (TJ performance doesn't have half the impact that the original recording does)

Kyoiku
1. Ringo no Uta - DYNAMITE OUT
2. Jusui Negai - DYNAMITE OUT
3. Gunjyou Hyori - DYNAMITE OUT (Noticing a pattern here?)
4. Sounan - album (*GASP*)
5. Crawl - DYNAMITE OUT DYNAMITE OUT DYNAMITE OUT DYNAMITE OUT (Oh, dear god, this is painful to listen to on the album. But DO made this song so badass I almost pissed myself.)
6. Genjitsu Ote - Dynamite.... album? (This one is just HZM playing on the piano, hard to really say what the best "version" is)
7. Genjitsu wo Warau - Dynamite Out (But not by that wide of a margin)
8. Service - DYNAMITE OUT DYNAMITE OUT DYNA-- (Yeah, I'll shut up)
9. Ekimae - DYNAMITE OUT x 1000 (Another song that makes you go "Eh?" when you listen to it on the album and then when you see it live you're like "Holy shit! This song is fuckin' awesome!")
10. Omatsuri Sawagi - tie (Yes, that's right. I couldn't pick one. They're both THAT good.)
11. Bokoku Jyoshou - Dynamite Out (Though I do really like the album version. And no, I won't let you strangle me, Maou.....)
12. Yume no Ato - Dynamite Out (It was just a nice way to end the concert. Though the album version is great too. It's hard to pick but I gave DO the edge because it was a nice ending to a fantastic concert. And I didn't even consider Ringohan and HF, btw.)

Adult
1. Himitsu - album (DO's version is great but I like the jazzier feel better than the rock one.)
2. Kenka Joutou - album
3. Keshou Naoshi - album (But I did like the version on the Ringohan DVD.)
4. Superstar - DYNAMITE OUT (Album version puts me to sleep.)
5. Shuraba - Shuraba single version (Don't like album version very much)
6. Yukiguni - album (And the segue into Kabuki on the album is just too perfect to factor out!)
7. Kabuki - Domestic Virgin Line (There's something about this version that has so much energy. I can't really describe it. It really helps that the crowd is into it.)
8. Blackout - album
9. Tasogari Naki - album
10. Toumei Ningen - DYNAMITE OUT x 1,000,000,000 (Do I really need to explain myself here?)
11. Tegami - album

I'm too lazy to do Variety right now but most of those tracks sounded better on the album rather than S&T with the exception of Boutomin and Kronekodow.

Maybe I'll do singles later.

[Glathannus]

Muzai Moratorium
01. Tadashii Machi - Album (the POLYSICS-like noises are a nice touch, and Electric Mole is a messy mix)
02. Kabukichou no Joou - Shinjuku Nite (I want to hear the whole thing in acoustic guitar, damn it!)
03. Marunouchi Sadistic - Dynamite Out
04. Koufukuron (Etsuraku hen) - Electric Mole
05. Akane Sasu Kiro Terasaredo - Album

08. Koko De Kiss Shite - Baishou Ecstasy bonus feature (keyboard/vocals solo)
09. Onaji Yoru - Undecided (for now)
10. Keikoku - Album (HZM did an awesome job in Electric Mole, but I think the hammond organ is more fitting than the grand piano)
11. Morphine - Album

Shouso Strip
01. Kyogenshou - Album
02. Yokushitsu - HF Instrumental
03. Benkai Debussy - Undecided (for now)
04. Gibs - Electric Mole (I can't stand the single/album versions, mainly because the mix is so dry)
05. Yami ni Furu Ame - Album (maybe Gekokujyo Xstasy if it were longer)
06. Identity - Undecided (for now)
07. Tsumi to Batsu - Album (with Electric Mole as a close second, because for what it loses in guitar work, it gains in the group effort instrumentals)
08. Stoicism - Album
09. Tsuki ni Makeinu - Undecided (for now)
10. Sakana - Album (Zazen Ecstasy version is overrated)
11. Byoushou Public - Undecided (for now)
12. Honnou - Just Can't Help It (the single/album version is too dry, and Shiina Ringo was spewing out delicious venom in JCHI)
13. Izonshou - Gekokujyo Xstasy

KSK
01. Shuukyou - Album
02. Doppelganger - Undecided (for now)
03. Meisai - HF (it's a cleaner recording, and minus some country twang)
04. Odaiji ni - Undecided (for now)
05. Yattsuke Shigoto - Undecided (for now)
06. Kuki - Casshern/LP version, with Electric Mole as a very close second.
07. Torikoshi Kurou - Undecided (for now)
08. Okonomi de - Album (there are several good versions of this, but nothing can duplicate the original mix)
09. Ishiki - Stem B-Side (it's mostly the same mix, but I like B-Side ending better)
10. Poltergeist - Undecided (for now)
11. Souretsu - Album (this version is unbeatable, just like the album version of Shuukyou)

Kyoiku
01. Ringo no Uta - Undecided (for now)
02. Jusui Negai - Dynamite Out (it's so much fury you can almost hear the mad eyes)
03. Gunjyou Biyori - Undecided (for now)
04. Sounan - Dynamite Out (I love the extended instrumental outros of Phase 1, and this is no exception)
05. Crawl - Dynamite Out (I have to agree with Osiris, that this performance is maximum badass)
06. Genjitsu Ote - Dynamite Out
07. Genjitsu wo Warau - Dynamite Out
08. Service - Dynamite Out (megaphones sound so much cooler in concert than in studio)
09. Ekimae - Dynamite Out
10. Omatsuri Sawagi - Undecided (for now)
11. Bokoku Jyoshou - Dynamite Out
12. Yume no Ato - Dynamite Out (and if the Kyoiku mix wasn't so awful, it would barely beat Dynamite Out, because I don't entirely care for the extra-pronounced going-out-with-a-bang on this particular song)

Adult
01. Himitsu - Album (and the Domestic Virgin Line performance is underrated)
02. Kenka Joutou - Album
03. Keshou Naoshi - Album
04. Superstar - Dynamite Out
05. Shuraba - Single
06. Yukiguni - Album
07. Kabuki - Domestic Virgin Line (in concert the megaphone is audibly and visually teh sex, plus all the other band members were at the top of their game)
08. Blackout - Just Can't Help It
09. Tasogari Naki - For Mother
10. Toumei Ningen - Dynamite Out
11. Tegami - Izawa vocals/piano solo version, with Domestic Virgin Line as a close second

[natsume]

I didn't read through each of these, but I did notice you all preferred the Shuraba single. There is a lot of restless anxiety here about her direction, whathehellisshethinking fuuuuuuck!!!, etc. Which I, thankfully, am largely immune to. My big panic attack along the lines of what many here seem to experience quite regularly was this single. I still don't like it, hated/hate Get it Up For Love, and didn't like Rakujitsu immediately. I was pretty bummed.
I think most of the performances of the Adult stuff from JCHI are much stronger than the album versions, and this includes Shuraba. I only came to love the song after I saw this performance.

I think I prefer Akane-sasu and Sakana from Zazen, as well.

[Mr Sands]

This seems far too much like hard work to me :/

[Ringo~Bingo]

Just copy paste someone else and make some cosmetic changes.

It does not actually take that long to make a list y'know, I thought it would be tough also but I was done in under 15 minutes.
