I came across this discussion and thought about my Goldfrapp album, especially now that Tales Of Us has been around for a while. It is very difficult, but I think I have managed to compile an album of 10 tracks (plus a few other options, which amount to cheating, but hey, it's only for fun).
So here then is my Goldfrapp album -
Standard Edition 1. Clowns 2. Hairy Trees 3. A&E 4. Deer Stop 5. Jo 6. Lovely Head 7. Thea 8. Drew 9. Stranger 10. Eat Yourself
Deluxe Edition 11. Pilots 12. Crystalline Green 13. Dreaming 14. Hunt 15. Simone
10th Anniversary Remastered Edition [Bonus Disc] 16. Utopia 17. Twist 18. Koko 19. Cologne Cerrone Houdini 20. I Wanna Life 21. Strict Machine 22. Paper Bag 23. Time Out From The World 24. Let It Take You 25. Laurel
I should be working for a record label!
I didn't go for any b-sides or other tracks, or any music videos. Those can always be added to the 15th anniversary, or 20th anniversary. And don't forget, there is always a possibility of another edition with a third disc of rarities!
Note the above is not a ranking of my favourite Goldfrapp songs. The order would be considerably different it I ranked them purely as favourites, rather than a collection of album tracks.

“The inexpressible depth of music, so easy to understand and yet so inexplicable, is due to the fact that it reproduces all the emotions of our innermost being, but entirely without reality and remote from its pain...Music expresses only the quintessence of life and of its events, never these themselves.” ― Oliver Sacks, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain
