On the Gin Blossoms "New Miserable Experience" I would add "Blue Eyes Bleeding" and the longer take of "Pieces of the Night" with the piano ending and I would remove "Hands are Tied" and swap "Cheatin" with "Pieces of the Night"

1 Lost Horizons
2 Hey Jealousy
3 Mrs Rita
4 Until I fall Away
5 Hold Me down
6 Cajun Song
7 Blue Eyes Bleeding*
8 Found out About you
9 Allison Road
10 29
11 Cheatin
12 Pieces of the Night*

Granted the original plan for the longer piano ending of POTN was so it could segue way in to Cheatin but I just don't hear it that way. POTN if a closing track and with the piano ending it's the perfect closing track.

the two added tracks:

Hypothetically, The Beatles could have resolved their personal differences and agreed to continue to work together as a band, and sometime in the fall of 1970 released the following album, Beatles XIII (awesome title, right?) :

Side One
1. Come and Get It
2. Cold Turkey
3. All Things Must Pass
4. Junk
5. Maybe I'm Amazed
6. Isolation

Side Two
1. What Is Life?
2. Look Me
3. Every Night
4. It's Johnny's Birthday
5. Wah-Wah
6. It Don't Come Easy
7. Instant Karma!

The songs on the first side present a loose concept/theme on the frustrations of wanting things, needing things, the impermanence of things, side two gets philosophical, introspective, a little silly, a little crazy, Ringo's blues brings the theme back into focus and Lennon offers a solution, sort of.

(Followed later in the year by the non-LP single "My Sweet Lord" b/w "Mother")
