Atmosphere (their greatest pop moment, including their second incarnation. It doesn't fade with familiarity.) New Dawn Fades (the imagery of the lyrics with the angular guitar sounds, the keystone moment in UP) Decades (their almost perfect epilogue, with a synth sequence as beautiful as anything from a four piece beat combo) Dead Souls (a blast, a pure rock song. Gogol is often cited for the title but I suspect that Crowley was on his mind) Heart and Soul (this was the slowest burner on Closer for me, I remember massively disliking it on first listen but slowly it came into a better focus. Atmospherically the peak of their powers, whilst Curtis croons away with a love letter to Nietzsche).

I can only defend my omission of "Atmosphere" by saying "I only got five choices!", but...some part of me feels that I was a bastard for not including it.

I would have found a way to cram These Days in somewhere if it had been a longer list
