If you can put together SCANDAL songs from all of their albums and singles, what songs will you choose to make an Album you think that would sound great if they were recorded at the same time? 

Make a list of 12 to 13 songs that you want to be in the Album.

Here's mine:

1. Image
2. Anata ga Mawaru
3. Sono Toki, Sekai wa Kimi Darake no Rain
4. Your Song
5. GIRLism
6. Koi no Gestalt Houkai
7. 24 Jikan Plus no Yoake Mae
8. Taiyou Scandalous
9. Konya wa Pizza Party
10. Emotion
11. Hitotsu Dake
12. Hoshi no Furu Yoru ni
13. Switch

I created a playlist exactly like this (Haha). Its not really composed of favorites. I just prefer the sound and energy of these tracks together.

What's yours?

This topic sounded interesting, so I took up the challenge…

3hrs later...

Wow, with so many good songs, and so many different styles throughout, I could have made about 4 different albums… so I took on the a personal challenge of creating one where the girls have applied, in varying amounts, electronic effects, synth, extra instruments, whatever.
There's no denying that even with added effects or straying completely, they can still make good music. The sound here tends towards pop, I think it's kinda fun.

I even named the album "Ecstatic Sakura"

1.  Brand New Wave
2.  Sisters
3.  Shojo M
4.  Over Drive
5.  Pinheel Surfer
6.  Midnight Television
7.  Pride
8.  Oyasumi
9.  Play Boy
10. Kagen No Tsuki
11. Kill the Virgin
12. Love Me Do
13. Departure

@mio Thats a good selection!
 

I have made another album that is somewhat of a garage rock feel. Nai nai night 2014 should be great with over driven guitars. The overall sound would be a mix of Best Scandal and Standard.

1. Hikare
2. Orange juice
3. Uchiagehanabi
4. Sunday drive
5. Life is a journey
6. Nai Nai Night 2014
7. Koi no kajitsu
8. Playboy part II
9. So easy
10. Very special
11. Love in action
12. Ring! Ring! Ring!
13. Right here

Hmm.. I put some songs together that sound pretty light-hearted and happy. (Kinda like 'Yellow' but from various years)
If you're feeling down, hopefully these songs will cheer you up! 

1.Sunday Drive 
2.Your song
3.Very Special
4.Right Here
5.Shining Sun 
6.Glamorous You
7.Overdrive 
8.Midnight Television
9.Love
10.Namida yo Hikare
11.Taiyou Scandalous
12.Pinheel Surfer
13.Life is a Journey

Very interesting and fun topic ><
For me I put together songs that sounds "retro" or "old school", the songs here have sounds from the 60s to the 90s. I love it when Scandal go down this route,  so I comprised songs from their last 7 albums that will fit well together as a "Music through History" experience. Of course there are a lot more than this bunch, so me picking it out was sorta difficult.  
But here it is.  I will like to call this Rewind (I know, corny, I suck at titles)

1. Queens are trumps
2. Heaven na kibun
3. Life is a journey
4. Sunday Drive
5. Orange Juice
6. Anata ga mawaru
7. Room no. 7 *
8. Happy Birthday
9. Ring Ring Ring
10. Kagen no tsuki
11. Kill the Virgin
12. Love me do
13. Bright +

*no pun intended (okay maybe) for this one but I think have a mid section instrumental break is good.

+I mostly prefer albums that end on a high rocking note like STANDARD, but for this I couldnt decide where to place it, and having it last isn't so bad. It's a good big arena type song anyway^ω^

Can we come back and make another one?

Awesome topic!
It's interesting that people are basing their albums around a theme.
Here's my songlist.
The theme here is FEELS. Basically a mix of songs that make me feel melancholy. I did this to contrast Scandal's current "happy vibe," (it's not that I dislike Yellow or anything, their new music is great on many scales!)
I just thought it'd be interesting to list the songs that hit me right in the heart. They're my go to songs when I'm alone on a Saturday night.
Anyhow, enough rambling, here goes:

1. ALONES
2. Graduation
3. Bright
4. Bitter Chocolate
5. Haruka
6. Welcome Home
7. Koe
8. Hikare
9. Midnight Television
10. Weather Report
11. Switch
12. One Piece
13. Chiisana Honoo

NB: Not all the songs are "sad" per se (e.g. Midnight Television), they just get to me on a personal level that's hard to explain.

I was thinking about this topic for a long time and i guess that i am finally ready to write my own post.

SCANDAL's album titled "4OUR" setlist:

1. STANDARD
2. BURN
3. 24 Jikan Plus no Yoake Mae
4. Kagerou
5. Playboy Part II
6. Sisters

8. 8-gatsu

10. Chiisana honou

@Qberto
Dude, first one is really good. Thank you for giveing me a really good hour

As most have already stated, narrowing it down to 13 songs is pretty darn hard.  I'll have to leave out some of my most favorite songs.  Since I listen to most of my music in the car, I put together an album that will get me going (and want to floor it).

1.  Sunday Drive
2.  Onegai Navigation
3.  Anata Ga Mawaru
4.  Happy Collector
5.  Orange Juice
6.  Maborishi Night
7.  Scandal Nanka Buttobase
8.  Your Song (orig ver)
9.  Queens Are Trumps
10. Sonotoki Sekaiwa Kimidarakeno Rain
11. Hoshinofuruyoruni
12. Metronome
13. Rainy

 I would like to introduce my friends to SCANDAL. It is kinda complicated, as there are so many songs. It was quite easy with Band Maid, but I am struggling here. I need to make a compilation of 7-10 songs that would represent SCANDAL at their best; it should cover most of their work through the years, it should be diverse... What would be your approach? Thanks a lot!

Dude, that's pretty hard - as you can see from the diverse playlists, we all have different tastes. Personally, I think you should perhaps show have them hear some of their singles (Awanai, Shunkan Sentimental, etc) the "Scandal Show" collection is how I started, so picking a few  singles from that might be your best start.

Bennycz, how is this sampler:
Doll
S.L. Magic: you get a taste of Haru, Tomo, & Mami's voices
Burn: great mid-tempo song
Hikare: biggest prob may be Tomomi's voice for people, so hit them with a great song
Metronome
Awanai Tsumori no Genke de ne
Image
Graduation: tasty instrumentation in this song
Onegai Navigation
Sunday Drive
Chiisana Honoo
Take Me Out

That's 12 songs. I just put them in chronological order. Shuffle as you see fit. Hope this list is helpful in some way.

bennycz - I would show them a mix of songs that cover different styles.
For example I would pick some singles:like Awanai Tsumori no Genkide ne
Fun, upbeat songs: Stamp and Image 
Heavier songs: Metronome and Onegai Navigation
Slower songs: Namida no Regret, Burn and Chiisana Honoo etc

I would also show them some live performances, my personal favourites being Burn at Budokan
https://youtu.be/hXhg97vTHK0

and also Shoujo S at Perfect World (this shows each of the members skills with solos)
https://youtu.be/L7jNLzMCC5I

I introduced my friend to Scandal with Image and Stamp because I know she likes that kind of style. If your friends prefer heavier songs show them Scandal's more powerful songs.

Good Topic I think any Scandal Album should start with SCANDAL BABY, as it just really suits a start up song. Here is my album
1.  SCANDAL BABY
2.  HARUKAZE
3.  KAGEN NO TSUKI
4.  IMAGE
5.  AITAI
6.  BRIGHT
7.  TAIYOU SCANDALOUS
8.  NAMIDA YO HIKARE
9.  8 GATSU
10.  S.L.MAGIC
11. TAIYOU TO KIMI GA EGAKU STORY
12. BURN
13. CHIISANA HONO
14. MORNING SUN
15. NAMIDA NO REGRET

* I think that Taiyou to kimi ga egaku story is scandal's most perfectly "complete" song it is a beautifull musically constructed song that cannot be improved.

If you're still looking songs to show,  here's my intact on them.
It's best to show some signature songs of theirs,  but also some self composed songs too.  We can't leave those out!  .cool.

1. Scandal Baby -as usual
2. Image
3. Awanai tsumori
4. Onegai Navigation
5. Rainy
6.Heaven na Kibun
7. Shunkan Sentimental
8. Love Survive
9. Flashback no. 5
10.Take Me Out
11.Everbody Say Yeah
12.Chiisana Honoo -probs one of their best musically composed rock ballads
13.Harukaze
14.Doll
15.Standard

A SCANDAL album of my preference would consist the following songs:

1. Image
2. Awanai Tsumori no Genki de ne
3. Stamp!
4. Taiyou to Kimi Ga Egaku STORY
5. DOLL
6. love in action
7. Koe
8. BURN
9. Departure
10. Morning Sun
11. Chiisana Honoo
12. Sayonara My Friend
13. Kimi to Yoru to Namida

I like how people responded by building collections around themes instead of trying to pick a "best" collection. So here's another one— often SCANDAL seems to produce music with a "tone" to fit the mood of the lyrics. I noticed this in "Natsuneiro" ("summer-tone" or "summer scent") one of the first SCANDAL songs I ran across on YouTube. They have you almost hearing and smelling cicadas, wet leaves, shimmering heat… at one point single short organ-trill gives just the hint of nostalgia. It's just a gem. How about a collection on the "tone poem" theme? Some candidates—

• Aitai  (want to meet)
• Bright
• BURN
• Flashback No.5
• Kagen no Tsuki (waning moon)
• Kill the virgin
• Koi no Gestalt Houkai  (love’s gestalt collapse)
• Konya wa Pizza Party
• Natsu Neiro  (summer tone)
• Oyasumi
• Rainy
• Runners High
• Sunday Drive
• Tokyo Skyscraper
• Uchiagehanabi (skyrocket)
• Winter story
• Daydream (JUDY AND MARY cover)

• How crazy (YUI  cover)

I know I already put together my own album theme, but for my drive home from work tonight I had my iPod on shuffle for Scandal's albums and this is what came out.  It's a pretty consistent mix, and I thought it made for a good album on it's own.

1.  Happy Collector
2.  Doll
3.  Want You
4.  Playboy Pt. II
5.  Honn Wo Yomu
6.  Asterisk
7.  Your Song
8.  Hokago 1H
9.  So Easy
10. Space Ranger
11. Midnight Television
12. Burn
13. Right Here, Right Now
14. Bitter Chocolate
15. Departure

Interesting thread!
Though I enjoyed a lot of their indie work and songs, I do much prefer some of the songs and styles that they have been doing since 2012-present

1. Room No. 7
2. Image
3. Harukaze
4. 声 (Koe)
5. Overdrive
6. 会わないつもりの、元気でね (Awanai)
7. 本を読む (Hon wo Yomu)
8. 下弦の月 (Kagen no Tsuki)
9. Love Me Do
10. ちいさなほのお (Chiisana Honoo)

Trying to fix in a good mix of rougher songs with their more slow paced songs (as well as Mami vocals!)
