Well, one could attest the one to Robert Smith possibly.
bummer...an early post on a day when i'm as busy as he-- at work...how about posting a contest at midnight
Some people are on the piss, they think it's all over.....it is now !!!
The answers were State of the Nation and Weirdo, both of which first appeared in our ears for the first time at the Hacienda on 16/7/85.
The five winners are :
Mark McKellar-Harding Christy Wood Jean-Marc Boucher Ricardo Augusto Fernandes Alexandre Trevassos
Dave Hibell gets the special bonus edition for coming up with "The Happy One" which of course was played for the first time at the Hacienda.
Congratulations to you all - more Benny's Random giveaway competitions soon.....

btw did the ABBA/Crossroads debate get resolved?

It never will. Conway is sold on the ABBA link, and probably has never seen Crossroads. No doubt in my mind that it relates to Crossroads, but then again MES is probably being clever in combining both Bennys to make a point about the state of unpopular music at the time.
Indeed Benny! I think I got the Abba interpretation from the chap who ran the Fall Lyrics Parade before I took it over. And we keep asking Mark to clarify lots of things like this, but he can't be arsed. Mind you, he does get the bass player to download lyrics from the website when he brings back old songs into the live set (uses the printed sheet on stage because he can't afford an autocue).

You ain't said what you want yet - lost track of your list so can't just pick any old random thing. Might be useful if I had your new address as well !
