> Preaching to the Perverted- Pop Will Eat Itself

> Bela Lugosi's Dead- Bauhaus

Working Girl.. Can I commend you on these choices.. I loved PWEI's 'This is The day, This is the hour' .. and I believed I was the only person on Earth who ever owned it!! 'Def Con 1' was better!

And then you mention 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' from the godfathers of indie music!.. again, I loved 'The Passion of Lovers', and 'Spirit'..

God that takes me back.. Big Mac, Fries to go...!!

 

[Ruffian]

> 4-Torn Green Velvet Eyes/Don't Look Away....The Magnetic Fields

Have I got these two songs?

> 5-Lilac Wine........Jeff Buckley

Hallelujah is better!

> 6-For Those Not So Beautiful.....Tindersticks

I shall check this out

> 9-Chinatown/Bewitched..........Luna

'It's Getting Late' by Galaxie 500 was on my list.. and never even got a mention..

> 10-Famous Blue Raincoat/Take This Longing/Memories......Leonard
> Cohen

Hats off to the Cohen Boy! Let's have Lloyd Coles version in there!

> 11-Lonely Planet Boy/Personality Crisis......New York Dolls

Are you hoping Morrissey reads this and say's 'I must contact eventhedd and talk with here about the NY Dolls! I hope he does!

> 12-Green Eyes/The Ship Song.........Nick Cave & The Bad
> Seeds

Isn't Green Eyes the song with the C word in? Good choice!

> 14-Stolen Property/Jerdacuttup Man.......The Triffids

Showing your other affiliations proudly!

> 15-For Your Pleasure.......Roxy Music

I can't help but love all the early Roxy stuf.. 'Do The Strand', 'Street Life', 'Mother of Pearl', the sax solo in 'Pyjamarama'!!

> 18-Superman/Hard Fast And Beautiful.....Cinerama

I shall re-focus on Superman.. What happened to 'Ears'!

> 20-Like A Hurricane........Neil Young

You never told me you liked Neil Young!! Another discovery.. the version of 'Like a Hurricane' (from 'Rust Never Sleeps'.. is that the live album..?) Just blows me away.. all the feedback, the bum notes, the passion.. Old Neils thinning hair blowing back with a foot on the monitor and his lumberjack shirt billowing proudly! Ha ha execllent..
'Cortez the Killer' is a great blues songs as well.

[Kirstie]

> eleonor rigby the beatles

I started making up my list and this was on it (it was actually a four way Beatles tie between Eleanor Rigby, A Day in the Life, Revloution number nine, and Lovely Rita.)

Then I started making up the rest of the list and I soon realized that it would be more like top 100 songs of all time so I stopped. Plus, it all changes drastically depending on my mood.

But I really want to make up a list, myself being a fan of High Fidelity. I just can't do it though. It's too limiting for me.

Yeah! I am the only one I know that likes this song. Everyone else finds it annoying that he keep saying Hang the DJ over and over again but I love it!

> -Under The Milkyway...The Church

i bought the church album that was off of (mind block right now) and I was kindof disappointed but that song is great.

Re: What is your 10 fav songs. THIS IS THE BEST

The best pop song of all time, bar-none is "There She Goes" by the La's. From the cd "The La's" from 1990. from Go! Discs Ltd.

Note: this cd was so good and after being out-of-print for MANY MANY MANY years, was re-released in 2001 with 4-5 bonus tracks and remastered.
Ooh and it was covered by a band with a female singer in the year 2000 and was a minor "hit".

I dare anybody to put up any song against this song. It's absolutley perfect pop. Every song pales compared to this song.

"There she goes
There she goes again
racin' thru my brain

And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she blows
There she blows again
Pulsin' thru my vein

And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains

There she goes, there she goes again
She calls my name, pulls my train
No-one else could heal my pain

And I just can't contain
this feeling that remains

Therere she goes..................

I DARE YA!!
