billy bragg shows how it should be done

you can vote for which tracks go on the billy bragg best of on his web site.

early copies come with a rarities cd, but its not out til autumn.

Did he ever do a song that wasn't about coal miners?

sexuality?

I thought that was about coal miners?

Kohl miners?

I liked 'New England' (as everyone else did).

Not sure about any Kohl Minders.

ok then

god's footballer.

actually looking at the site braggs site there are a number of official bootlegs & the like available well worth checking out.

A Billy Bragg compilation of his best moments is welcome indeed..... it'd be interesting to see just what the fans vote for - I'll be doing just that meself then......but on the other hand, a far better idea would have been for him to do his own "Back To Mine" compilation just to piss off the trainspottin' purists - just think of how upset all the "post-club chill-out loungers" would be if they got wind of that.....or better still, those staunch supporters of his who fought with him tooth and nail through those dark and bitter days of 80's "socialist" Britain - arf...

"Yer whaaat? A Billy f***ing Bragg Chill Out Album?? Spit!! What's the f***ing radge on now?? Spit!! Traitor!! Ya Boo Sucks!!! He's sold out!! He's lost the plot!! Spit!! Cough!! Spit!! Get back ta Glastonbury yer aad hippie - an' stick that last comeback album of yers up yer lardy new-age daddy's ass...!!!"

Oh No ! .......... BignoseStrikesAgain!

Where are the exits??

I like Billy Bragg based on my limited exposure to him, if I can find this when it comes out it will be a welcome addition to my musical library.
