Your own BACK TO MINE

What songs and musicians/bands would be on it? How far back in your own mental discography? Limit your list to no more than 18 songs.

Without wishing to sound like a KillJoy - but failing - I don't think New Order's 'Back to Mine' is their choices at all, is it?! Or might be from a vague notion of what they fancied, but the tracks were eventually chosen by A.N.Other.

It's in the sleevenotes, no?

Or did I just make that up?!

Not quite, they all chose a selection of songs, and A.N.Other(s) compiled/mixed them together!

New Order - Age Of Consent Joy Division - Twenty Four Hours Doors - Roadhouse Blues Velvet Underground - I'm Waiting For The Man Happy Mondays - 24 Hour Party People Stone Roses - Waterfall Railway Children - Brighter Smiths - This Charming Man Cath Carroll - Moves Like You Fall - Mr. Pharmacist Killing Joke - Love Like Blood Associates - Party Fears Two That Petrol Emotion - Big Decision Pixies - Here Comes Your Man Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy Spear Of Destiny - Liberator Terry Hall - Sense Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street Iggy & The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog Arctic Monkeys - Fake Tales Of San Fransisco

Will all change the morrow though.

(Probably have to be a right ponce and chuck in a TV theme, some Morricone and a 'comedy' track, if we were doing a proper 'Back To Mine'!)

Blank Expression - Specials Prince of Darkness - BowWowWow Numbers - Kraftwerk Planet Rock - Afrika Bambaataa Al Faafyish - Hashim Anarchy in the UK - Pistols Transmission - JD Ceremony - New Order Bill Is Dead - Fall Tart Tart - Mondays LFO - LFO Playing With Knives - Bizarre Inc
Morning Lemon - Chemicals Lemon - U2 (Orange Mix) Schonenberg - Marmion Sequioa - Way Out West We Don't Care - Audio Bullys Crystal - New Order You Lot - Orbital
