Greatest Hits is a new feature that highlights an artist’s best songs, assembled into one carefully curated playlist or compilation. Belle and Sebastian's music is sensitive and incredibly well balanced. (2000; Matador). Yet, "She's Losing It" escaped that obscurity, dubbed from cassette to cassette as it made never-ending appearances on crush-fueled mix-tapes. It sounds that personal. Sure, it all fell apart, but it did so to one of the best guitar-driven melodies in the Belle and Sebastian catalog. The intent behind the feature is not to rank which of these 10 to 20 songs is the best of the bunch, but to feature them all in a sequence — complete with streamable playlist — for the sake of creating a feature that serves as both reading and listening material. (1998; Matador). The Life Pursuit wasn't Belle and Sebastian's finest hour, but the 2006 LP did sport this dashing, singalong pop song; a Murdoch-penned ode to romantic projection. Belle and Sebastian, in 20 years, has both lived up to and completely obliterated the conventional wisdom about them. (1998; Matador). That was never more obvious than with "Legal Man," a groovy, psychedelic, lava-lamp-lit rock'n'roller penned by Jackson. This six-minute single has long been a favorite of B&S fans, so much so that the band often spontaneously invites girls from the crowd to belt out Monica Queen's righteous, powerhouse vocal on stage. Belle and Sebastian didn’t overwhelm with their sonics, but rather with the familiarity and beauty of Stuart Murdoch’s melodies, the vividness and quirkiness of his characters, and the assembly of a band of everymen (and women) who were very much not rock stars. They’ve also released some honest-to-god rock ‘n’ roll bangers — they contain multitudes. “La Pastie de la Bourgeoisie” Next week, Belle and Sebastian will release their 9th album, Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance. (2000; Matador). The more playful and outlandish they got, it seemed, the more rewarding the result, as it was with 2000’s “Legal Man,” a hip-shaking, free-lovin’ ’60s psychedelic number that missed the Austin Powers soundtrack deadline by about three years. Suffering from chronic fatigue, B&S scribe Stuart Murdoch spent the early-90s peering at passersby out the window, imagining their adventures. (2003; Rough Trade). Both guys I suppose. So, since this assemblage of the best Belle and Sebastian songs works a bit like a mixtape, I will abide by these rules and begin with “Me and the Major,” one of the band’s most rollicking early tracks. In spite of its glinting guitar, warm-hearted woodwinds, and tender Murdoch vocal, "Slow Graffiti" is easily one of Belle and Sebastian's saddest songs. from Fold Your Hands Child You Walk Like a Child Stevie’s band, The Moondials, had recently split after struggling to realise their ambitions. “I Fought In A War” Who needs twee when you have a whole room full of studio magic at your disposal. Belle and Sebastian’s Best Songs As picked by the jam community, 2011–2015 The Boy With the Arab Strap Belle and Sebastian. Should SNL Replace Jim Carrey as Joe Biden? Some were bouncy and bright (“She’s Losing It”), some weird and unexpected (“Electronic Renaissance”), but one of the quintessential tracks, “Expectations,” is a flamenco-twee bad-day misadventure with a troubled young girl, her department store job and clay, life-sized Velvet Underground models. It fits on a Maxell, or a dusty CD-R if you’re feeling sinister. Plus the best new tracks from Ilsa (, How Mercyful Fate’s “Into the Coven” became a focal point during the Satanic Panic, Belle and Sebastian announce three new EPs, Belle and Sebastian release new song “We Were Beautiful,” announce tour dates, Belle and Sebastian announce summer tour dates, The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner. With hot Hammond, a chorus of female backing-vocalists, a snarling sitar line, and a neverending boogie of bongos, "Legal Man" was anything but effete, and ended up becoming a dance floor staple at indie nights everywhere. His work appears in Rolling Stone Magazine. You might have the Hola VPN extension installed. from Dear Catastrophe Waitress This one, however, takes a particularly meta turn in its first verse, Murdoch imploring, “Play me a song to set me free,” and subsequently assigning himself that very responsibility: “Nobody writes them like they used to, so it may as well be me.” But just as easily as he finds his confidence, it slips through his fingers, as he offers, “Think of it this way/ You could be successful or be us.” He wrestles and tumbles with his words, he stares at the window and the rain, ponders the lives of ex-lovers and resigns himself to the idea that his music can only wound, rather than kill.

But then again, it’s mostly here because of the organ riffs. It makes for four minutes and 43 seconds of pure coming-of-age joie de vivre. When 80s gated-reverb guru Trevor Horn took a break from working with the likes of Seal to produce Belle and Sebastian's sixth album, 2003's Dear Catastrophe Waitress, even he knew better than to mess with the original rehearsal-room demo of "Piazza, New York Catcher," leaving it as-is on the otherwise-polished LP. (2006; Matador), As often as Belle and Sebastian are regarded for their folk-tinged ’90s material, it overlooks the fact that so much of their discography comprises songs that really move. At a time before Pitchfork and indie rock were a commodified industry, Belle and Sebastian laid the groundwork of earnest songwriting that a whole culture would build off. Initially spurning his family’s musical tradition, Richard’s first foray into the world of entertainment was in the field of snooker. Not unlike The Smiths, to whom they were frequently compared, Belle and Sebastian have released a lot of non-album singles. (1996; Jeepster). And it isn’t missing a damn thing. “Your Cover’s Blown” And there’s a great deal of irony in it as well; though “Your Cover’s Blown” is essentially a tale of high-tailing it out of the big-city scene to find a quieter kind of solace. Though its opening is pure undergrad irony —"I got my fingers dirty at the school of rock"— "String Bean Jean" is actually one of Murdoch's most sweetly sentimental tunes. from The Boy With the Arab Strap Or they simply outlived their youthful inspiration, and that “stroke” was actually their peak.
