Tiger The Lion
Lake Fever
Putting Down
The Bastard
The Completists
Sharks
Wild Mountain Honey

Impossibilium
Poets
Something On
Save The Planet
Membership
Vapour Trails
Chagrin Falls

I didn't include Live Between Us or the EP on those lists. Live Between Us might be the best capture of everything pre-Phantom Power.
