Thanks, Shug. It could have been a little more inspired but I've been consumed by listening to the new Creed album. My apologies to Ms. Spears for the mispelling of her first name. Perhaps I'm not a true fan after all.

I love seeing the Cult pop up here an there, top call!!!

senses working overtime-xtc to cut a long story short-spandae ballet rise-pil hollidays in the sun-sex pistols south central rain-r.e.m once in a lifetime-talking heads the choke-skinny puppy shop-snog sonnys burning-the birthday party dark entries-bauhaus dread love-nena hagen

white riot-the clash

i did this to prove im not the sad goth git some people would like to think

2 1st songs :

1. She Sings Alone - See See Rider
2. Superplus - Quickspace (Supersport)

And then, in no particular order :

Under-dressment (or something like that) - Summer Hymns If You're Feeling Sinister - Belle & Sebastian Frank Sinatra - Cake Half-Life Remembered - Pale Saints Laughing Stock - Grandaddy Puppet - Lisa Germano Don't You Know - Disco Inferno My Legendary Girlfriend - Pulp I Can Water My Plants - Monk & Canatella Big - New Fast Automatic Daffodils King Biscuit Time : I Walked The Earth

...

Uncertain Smile - The The......Excellent choice Phil. I was mentally constructing my list and this was the first thing that came to mind. I've got two copies on the turntables as i write this (spent the aftenoon mixing between the US and UK singles--both versions are awesome). Perfect also puts a huge smile on my face. Uncertain Smile live in NewOrleans in 93 was huge. No johnny marr but Matt johnson put on a great show.

Hurricane - Bob Dylan ...think Shug mentioned this recently. The truth never sounded so good.

Somethings Burning - Stone Roses ...the beauty of the roses wrapped up in a hushed groover. harsh lyrics whispered over the funkiest 7+ minutes they ever played

Little Bullet - Spooky ...fucking classic every second. has anyone heard Charlie May's new ep, Bugs? Check it out pronto if you like Spooky/Sasha

There Is a Light - The Smiths

Belfast - Orbital ...symetry is good (but hard to spell)

I Don't Know What I can Save You From - Kings of Convienence (Royksopp Mix) ...my favorite non-neworder song at the moment

Rocky Racoon - The Beatles ...hard to choose with the Beatles so i'll pick my sentimental favorite

Djed - Tortoise ...the first time i heard this i flipped. it's fun to watch the changes approach the needle

Neurotic Behaviour - Carl Craig ...moody techno. absolute prove that machine music is not souless.

Meiso - DJ Krush (Klub Mix) ...dual rap/downtempo selection. Shadow's production is the peak of Krush's live set which is really saying something (isn't it?)

Spoonman - Underworld ...nice bikini, steppin razor

So Much Trouble In the World - Bob Marley ...song for today. "the way things are going, anything can happen"

MMh, first time ever i believe ol' Bob Marley gets a mention on this Forum. I like it!!!

Alright, since we all seem to have split-personalities, here's another 12. ACR-shack up Stockholm Monsters-your uniform Section 25-looking from a hilltop Beatles-obladi Jimi Hendrix-purple haze Bob Marley-no woman no cry Happy Mondays-kuff dam Rod Steward-maggie mae Chris isaak-blue hotel the Stooges-i wanna be your dog the Smiths-this charming man Lou Reed-Berlin ok, i know thats an album , but it is fooking so good, i can't pick just one song...

Foggy Notion, Tabsy? Why?

Originally posted by dave hibell great leap forwards is top - like the live versions of bragg songs where he changes/updates the words best...

Like "Bestiality" for instance? He did that one once and it was a fucking scream!! And "Walk Away renee" - which he seems to come up with a new narrative each time he does it live!

Can't believe nobody here has even mentioned those Krautrock legends CAN (Michael Karoli passed away last November, sadly, how many of you knew that?). Their "Halleluwjah" is an absolute CLASSIC! and without it Happy Mondays would never have been able to rip it off and have the nerve to also title it the same! Think about it!

Anyway, a few other great songs are: CAN - Mother Sky Revolting Cocks - Beers Steers and Queers Revolting Cocks - Butcher Flowers Woman! The Flaming Lips - Race For The Prize The Flaming Lips - Slow Nerve action Section 25 - Dirty Disco Laugh - Sensation No. 1 ACR - Blown Away ACR - Flight Breeders - Cannonball Dawn Of The Replicants - Cocaine On The Catwalk The Stranglers - Something Better Change ROC - Excised

Oh man...

Apologies to Medicine (She Knows Everything), ABBA (Knowing Me, Knowing You), the Velvet Underground (I'll Be Your Mirror), The Pixies (Tame), Brian Eno (I Fall Up), Tones on Tail (Go), Ministry (Stigmata), and...Nirvana! (Smells Like Teen Spirit). Better luck next time, guys. And a shout out to Revco...I covet my buddy's Cocks T-shirt madly.

The first track on side 2 answers that one, the Alison days are well and truly over. Maybe track 9 on side 2 should have been track 2 !!

Sloppy, you've mentioned X-mal Deutschland!!! Wow!!! Never would have thought anybody would bring that name up! Brings back memories, although i forgot which ones...
