The Very Best Of is a pretty good compilation, how about an updated, expanded version of it? I'd probably put a few more
Bat II songs like
Everything Louder or
Frying Pan on it though.

That would be my choices, too.
DIST is one of the strongest songs on
CHSIB, and
CHSIB (the song) appears to be quite popular and has gotten a lot of clicks and praise on YouTube.
BAAB is a complex, varied song. Maybe it would have gotten more attention than
COM if it had been released as a single.
From
Bat III, I'd also add
IACBTMN. It's not my favorite version of the song but it was a hit so it can't be a bad choice for such a compilation.

It definitely should. It's a rather unusual song for Meat and might get the attention of people who are more interested in singer/songwriters and who think he can only sing over-the-top rock operas. I'd also like to see
Song Of Madness and
If I Can't Have You on such a compilation. I like compilations that provide a good overview of what an artist has done over the the years and that aren't restricted a certain style, period of time or to the actual "greatest hits". It's often songs that weren't hits that are the most interesting ones.
