Any James fans in?Top 3 songs by em..

Unbelieveable live band these were.. 1 Fred Astaire 2 Vervacious(must be live,the album version is weak as piss) 3 Come Home(the dragged out live Manchester version, from the fairwell gig)...Say Something,Laid,and all of that fairwell gig...as it goes Ok,so be it... its a top 5

Really really great band, saw them quite a few times.

My favourite song by them was a recording of "Won't wait that long" that they did for Key 103 years ago. It was nothing like the album version; really fast and frantic with acoustic guitar. They did another session a few years later and said "we've slowed this one down and now it's much better".

NOOOO! You RUINED it!

I have it on cassette somewhere, but I haven't heard it for years.

I used to love their version of Sunday Morning, despite it being a bit naff. Hymn from a Village would be in my top 3.

Out to Get You, that's a great song - listened to it millions of times back in the days when I got upset about girls.

Laid, Sky Is Falling, Hymn From A Villiage.

I like them alot. Only knew them for 1 1/2 years, but great tunes.

"Burning a fire" is one of my favs.

a band who i regret never seeing live :(

tops songs would probably be:

Ring the bells. although the live version with Saul screaming his lungs out and attempting to demolish that violin.

Johnny Yen. Again, the live version is much better.

And i suppose Sometimes. Although i'm a big fan of Getting Away with it, and God Only Knows.

Big fan of Space as well.

Laid She's A Star Say Something/Sometimes (tie)

Laid If Things Were Perfect Sit Down

Laid If Things Were Perfect Sit Down

Chainmail, Stutter, Sunday Morning. They were never much cop after Larry Gott left, and that trumpet player (Andy Diagram ??) wasn't too flash either. They should have had Lindsey out of Stockholm Monsters in instead

Say Something Sometimes Laid

Forgot about Seven! Classic! I always felt it sounded a bit U2-ish. I don't know if that's good or bad.

born of frustration say something sit down

love their lyrics so much! 1 Born of frustration 2 Tomorrow 3 Sit down

Really great band; sadly I never saw them live (but the DVD is ace). In no particular order:

Johnny Yen Sometimes Bring a gun Ring the bells Fine (also a fave of the missus)

CTB

Quality band 3 of my favourites - Sometimes Say Something Seven

Fave three songs at the moment:

1. Getting Away With It (All Messed Up)
2. Fred Astaire
3. Promised Land

(although it changes frequently)

By the way, I ment "Building a fire" not "Burning a fire"
