-
Yep IDM me too
-
I know it's all down to personal taste, but can't believe anyone could put anything by Oasis in the top 3 songs of all time!!!
No Beatles, Motown/Philly, Dylan...?
-
Columbia by Oasis would make a top 3 of mine one night in 100. Slide Away, one night in 200.
My top 3 tonight:
Everything's Gone Green - New Order
Carolyn's Fingers - Cocteau Twins
Crushed - Front242
Ask me in ten minutes an they'll all be out of the top 100.
-

Plenty of Beatles but, which one? Depends on mood, they had songs for every occasion.. I don't really have any stand out top songs, for example I could have listed some Cocteau Twins stuff too, particularly "My Love Paramour" alongside Bohemian Rhapsody, or Anarchy in the UK..
-
1. Into the valley. The skids.
2. Duchess. Stranglers.
3. Suspect device. SLF.
-
1. Bill is Dead- The Fall
2. Pearly Dewdrops Drops- Cocteau Twins
3. Heartbreak Hotel- Elvis Presley
Though as BST says, the list is always changing...
-
Motörhead overkill
Ac/dc highway to hell
Led zep - Kashmir
Again these change constantly and often include Foo Fighters, Keane, Deep Purple, Stones or a bit of punk, ska or reggae
Love Beatles songs but would never put them in my (personal) all time favourite songs
-
We have between us got an amazing playlist guys
-
laid -James
3s and 7s - Queens of the Stone Age
Lights out, words gone - Bombay Bicycle Club
Always changes though
-
See. This morning it's:
I Want You - Inspiral Carpets feat. Mark E Smith.
Eye for an Eye - UNKLE
Marianne - Human League
-
Positively 4th Street
Idiot Wind
Subterranean Homesick Blues
-
See. This morning it's:
I Want You - Inspiral Carpets feat. Mark E Smith.
If anyone hasn't seen/ heard this, can I recommend it? Awesome!

-
The Dutch East India Company and the U-S-A of A think they can fool with their sincere usury.
-
I'm having a few bevvys tonight so mine might change its good to see a good mix of tastes
-
Tonight in no particular order I'd say
Pat Kelly - I'm Coming Home
Kraftwerk - Man Machine
The Kingsmen - Louie Louie
-
Struggled to whittle it down to 3. Changes on a daily basis! However I always seem to come back to these;
Razzle Dazzle Rose, by Camera Obscura
Many Rivers To Cross, by Jimmy Cliff
People Used To Dream About The Future, by A Girl Called Eddy
-
Heard this for the first time in ages and it now reposes in my top three.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3ZoBshOHcQ
Although it would be perfectly possible to have a "Top 100" which all involve MES/ The Fall in some capacity.
-
And if you tire of music, there's always modern poetry.
Evidently Chickentown - John Cooper Clark
Genius.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pB3NlOUg-ps

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH9ejpavG6I
My fave track by The Fall at the moment.....this will of course change by midnight.
-
Haven't seen that vid before. The Infotainment Scan is a terrific album though.
-
Columbia by Oasis would make a top 3 of mine one night in 100. Slide Away, one night in 200.
My top 3 tonight:
Everything's Gone Green - New Order
Carolyn's Fingers - Cocteau Twins
Crushed - Front242
Ask me in ten minutes an they'll all be out of the top 100.
Rock and Roll anthem.
-
I always liked Columbia.
I think it's probably the track where they sound the most like Oasis and not The Beatles/Slade/T-Rex/Quo.
-
David Bowie - Ashes To Ashes
The Smiths - There is a light that never goes out.
U2 - One.
(again, tomorrow it could be The Cure and Depeche Mode, Japan.)
-
Montague Terrace in Blue - Scott Walker
By the Time I Get to Phoenix - Glenn Campbell
Theme from Midnight Cowboy - John Barrie
I'm having a 1960s American-easy-listening-with-an-edge morning.
-
Montague Terrace in Blue is brilliant and Scott Walker is one of my favourite artists. A fantastic voice. In my student days I once borrowed a copy of "Scott Walker Sings Jacques Brel" from the radio station and played it from end to end countless times.
The Wichita Lineman by Glenn Campbell was always a great favourite of mine too. I have been known to do a passable Karaoke reading of it- a bit better than Jed Steer's cover of "Build me up buttercup" if I say so myself!
-
Psycho killer - Talking Heads
Good to be free - oasis
Know your enemy - RATM
But like others have said, tomorrow I'll have a different three.
-
Today, maybe
Pete Rock & CL Smooth - When they reminisce over you
A bit of a classic from the golden era of Hip Hop
The Jam - English Rose
Probably my favourite Weller song.
Old Red Eyes is Back - The Beautiful South
The sorry tale of an alcoholic delivered in the medium of soul music and a Yorkshire accent. What's not to like?
-
TRB
Pretty much anything of Scott Walker's between about 1967 and 1970 is sublime. I could listen to Scott 1,2,3 and 4 forever, and bits of Til the Band Comes in.
I'm not sure there's ever been as rapid a maturing of musical talent as his in the mid-60s. He went from being Louis Tomlinson to Jacques Brel in about 6 months.

I will cling to the thought that Louis Tomlinson could be the next Jacques Brel!
-
One Man's England - Paul Heaton
Boots of Spanish Leather - Bob Dylan
Drawn To The Deep End - Gene
-
All or Nothing ( Small Faces )
Positively 4th Street ( Dylan )
Streets of London ( Ralph McTell ).

Bad to the bone. George Thorogood.

-
Rave On - Buddy Holly
At 17 - Janis Ian
Mindless Violence - Newtown Neurotics
Again, could be almost anything from later 50's until now.
-
River Deep Mountain High - Deep Purple. All 7+ minutes of it. Their cover version is way way better than the original.
Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce. Typifies how I feel about my lady.
Streets of London - Ralph McTell. For whenever I think I've got problems.
-
I could name many more depending on mood.
Song to the Siren - This Mortal Coil
By the River - Groove Armada
I'm in love with a German filmstar - the Passions
-
Today:
Sunday Morning: Velvet Underground
When You're Sad: AR Kane

Superman by Black Lace
Seven Tears by The Goombay Dance Band
Dance Yourself Dizzy by Liquid Gold
What strange mood are you in today Stu???
Do you recall the less well known version of "Superman" that was "Supercock"
-
I could have added Peg by Steely Dan I suppose.
-
Now I have in mind:
Trumpton Riots - Half Man Half Biscuit
No Rest - New Model Army
Paranoid - Black Sabbath
It's impossible to pick an all time top 3. Every time I have an idea, another one springs to mind. So much eclectic stuff over the years. Some remind me directly of moments in life, others of general times. Growing up with what my parents liked, plus the only realistic radio option was R1, many of my era had a mixed taste of what was played on Kid Jensen and John Peel during the evening.
-
Crazy - Patsy Cline
This Fear of Gods - Simple Minds
Public Image - PiL

Yet this morning the playlist appears to be:
Common People - Pulp

The Bodies!
I'm sure I had an album by them. We're they from glamorous Rochdale or somewhere similar?
If it's who I'm thinking of their first album had them dressed in Brecon tops on a beach and the opening line of the first track was about throwing stones into the sea.
Or is that a totally different group?
-
Predictive text!
Should have read Bodeans and Breton!
-
Bodines. It was Bodines.
They were from Glossop. Someone had to be.
-
And now...
Fonzi Thornton - I'll Change My Game
Slave - Watching You
Sharon Redd - Love How You Feel
-
Fonzi Thornton?
lol, i've got to look that one up.
-
Fonzi Thornton?
lol, i've got to look that one up.
I dig it man. I really dig it.
Apparently Dickov had locked himself in a darkened room on Tuesday afternoon. Rumour has it that he was manically and repeatedly singing this song before emerging with a 4-2-3-1 team sheet.
-
Today I'll be mainly listening to
Not Dark Yet
She's your lover now
and on a lighter note If not for You - the original not the Oliver Neutron Bomb effort!

Bit of Rolling Stones is on todays menu, 40 licks.

Love this thread :thumbsup:
A few months ago a friend of my wife's wrote to all her friends and requested Desert island Disc input from everyone with anecdotes and reasons for choice. She then collated the lot, added links for all the songs, and produced stats of most popular etc. It was a great initiative. Here is my input:
1. Light Flight - Pentangle:
The 2nd ever LP I bought was The Bert Jansch Sampler and I listened to a lot of Pentangle while at University. During a vacation I was babysitting for friends of my parents and I turned the TV on. In the delay between the sound starting and the TV picture finally arriving I heard this Pentangle song and innocently thought ‘ great – a Pentangle concert on TV’ - I was crushed when an episode of the previously unknown to me ‘Take 3 Girls’ followed
2. Streets of London – Ralph McTell:
First heard the song live in a student’s room in Front Quad Merton College with about 12 other people – the then almost unknown Ralph McTell had been invited to the College’s Folk Club. Two years later I and ca 1500 others listened to him in concert in the New Oxford Theatre.
3. Lyin Eyes – Eagles:
The Eagles are my favourite band, and music which I know my wife loves (we have both been to live performances) and so I think of her each time I hear them. But I also remember the moment I first heard any Eagles song – I was walking into the Squash Club in Maastricht – a second home for me for 7 years so I also associate Lyin Eyes with SRC Maastricht.
4. Riders on the Storm:
Brilliant song with strong memories for me as a passenger in a crazy German friend’s sports car volume high during a violent thunderstorm
5. The Elements – Tom Lehrer: Live performance version,
Very clever and just to keep the mind sharp; also a reminder of Gilbert & Sullivan
6. Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen:
My favourite song, and of course video, and it reminds me of going to the brilliant show ‘We Will Rock You’ in London with my wife. But it also has great lyrics for adaptation – I have created versions to suit everything from my daughters to Doncaster Rovers Football Club via eccentric time ceremonies at Merton College
7. Lord of The Dance:
Reminders of all the Irish Dancing experiences through my younger daughter.
8. Life in a Northern Town – Dream Academy
Always loved the song and the video reminds me of some of my upbringing in Yorkshire. However also memorable for an incident with elder daughter who once played me Sunchyme by Dario G – and I said it had been ripped off from Life in a Northern Town. I had to play the song for the unbelieving teenager, and during the slow intro she thought her Dad had completely lost his marbles. The instantaneous change in her face when the chorus came was a picture never to be forgotten.
Book: William Feller –An Introduction to Probability Theory and its Applications: Serious Mathematics but fun, again to stretch the mind
Luxury: Laptop with MS Office (no internet but infinite battery) so I can record thoughts, write, play with probability calculations…..
-
Today mainly revisiting my student days, so
French Disko- Stereolab
Feel the pain -Dinosaur Jr
Teethgrinder - Therapy?
-
Excellent thread. Watch some t**t ruin it by mentioning Coldplay.
Tonight I'm in a stripped down Sheffield state of mind.
Being Boiled - Human League (the original version, not the disco one with the farty horns and clapping and shit. The one with the percussion that sounds like a black hole)
Sensoria - Cabaret Voltaire.
Nag Nag Nag - Cabaret Voltaire
-
I woke up in a stripped down, Sheffield state of mind
Tuff little Unit - Come and Join the Future
Coco Steel and Lovebomb - Feel It
Tomas - MindSong
-
I'm a Courteeners fan and on Monday I downloaded their new album 'Concrete Love', there's a couple of beauties on there and I can't get enough of 'Has he told you that he loves you yet', 'Next time you call' & 'Summer'.
As many people above have mentioned - my preference for my three favourite songs change on a weekly if not daily basis.
-
Today is "Red Album" day.
Tomorrow ( Whilst travelling to Uk ) Blue Album.
-
Tomorrow could go one of two ways......
If we win all upbeat:
Don't Stop me Now - Queen
Take it Easy - Eagles
500 miles - Proclaimers
But if we lose it's slit your wrist time.......
Desperado - Eagles
After the Goldrush - Neil Young
Anything by Leonard Cohen, but probably Suzanne
-
Mine changes by the hour but at this exact moment in time:
The Ballad of Dorothy Parker - Prince
Kingsize - Boo Radleys
Cornerstone - Arctic Monkeys
...although I have had Elvis Costello's Green Shirt going round my head for the last week or so as well.
-
No one watching BBC 4 this evening?
Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
Cloudbusting - Kate Bush
Oh England, My Lionheart - Kate Bush
for gentlemen of a certain age....
-
Mad Euro-fascist pop. You can't beat Laibach, a bunch from Slovenia. No one knows if they really ARE fascists or if they have spent 35 years living an artistic image to take the piss out of fascist tendencies in their homeland - the sort that ripper Yugoslavia apart a few years after they started.
Sympathy for the Devil. This MUST be on everyone's bucket list of music vids, just to see how bizarre pop music can be. And if that one isn;t bizarre enough, have a look at their cover of the 80s Euro-pop pap "Life is Life".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7muCRio2nQ
Tanz Mit - If the last one is ridiculous, this one is chilling. The Wagnerian dance music of the fascist revolution when European democracy finally collapses. And one of the best techno tracks ever laid down
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zSRcFxZVAA
The Whistleblowers - They've mellowed a tad with age, but in many ways, this is the most chilling one of the lot. A maddeningly catchy theme tune for the next generation's Hitlerjungend.

Seeing as I've just got back from my hols so my listening choices have been rather limited for the past couple of weeks...

Highlights of the last two days while listening to cds driving to Leamington and back:
The Fall- Paranoia Man in cheap s**t room
Public Image Ltd- Poptones
Chic- My Forbidden Lover
-
Also having been away my choices are limited was tempted to go:
Chocolate-Hey
Or
Let it go
Now back in the adult world prefer something darker.
Hyperballad by Bjork (love the imagery of standing at the top of a cliff every morning and deciding whether you want to carry on each day)
Under my Thumb by the Rolling Stones. (The lyrics are dubious at best but the delivery is sublime)
Luca by Suzanne Vega (Her pain runs through me).
Will do a slightly more upbeat one later.

Sorry that I came back (posting) but
1) Bohemian Rhapsody
I have hundreds of candidates for spots 2 and 3 but they are SO FAR away from the number 1 spot that I don't want to put them in the same "post" as Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody !
Its an age thing again and in 50 years time "it" will not win a similar poll - and that Merry Christmas everybody by Slade may not be the "go to" song at Christmaaaaaas but till thensorry there is no competition.
TraxFM and others have been desperate to depose BH by "introducing conditions" in their annual polls but there are still too many who remember "it" and what it meant to them to defeat it by fair means . It will happen soon and I will just have to live with it when it does although to ME it is THE Song of my lifetime!
-
This thread seems to have died a death. Here's to resurrecting it.
I'm reckoning that Chvrches' By The Throat from last year might just have knocked New Order's Perfect Kiss off the top of the Best Synth Pop Song In History chart. And Lauren Mayberry is easier on the eye than Barney and Hooky an all.
In fact their entire Bones of What You Believe album is as near as you'll ever get to perfect synth pop. It takes New Order's chord structures and 1980s Roland synths and marries them to sharp-as-a-knife modern production. Give it a go pop pickers.
-
Ta BST.
The other day I was watching/listening to you tube clips of old records. Here's another top 3 I found:
New Model Army - No Rest - this was once performed on TOTP where the band wore T shirts with the slogan "only stupid bas**rds take heroin" and the BBC (bless her) made them tape over "bas**rds"!!
Toy Dolls - Fisticuffs in Frederick Street - the B side (and better IMHO) to their "punk" version of Nellie the Elephant.
Sisters of Mercy - Afterhours - only available on the B side of the Body and Soul 12" single. Long, dark, quite atmospheric. Notable for being played in the background for my first time ;)
-
My music likes move around from month to month ,few weeks back
I was on Northern Soul .
But for last Of couple Of weeks likes Of

Love will tear us apart - Joy Division
Every day is like Sunday - Morrissey
Kennedy - The Wedding Present
I'm getting rid of Morrissey and swapping him for The Associates - Party Fears Two
-
Nice one Brightside. Although Love Hangover is a better one.
And if you have to have a Morrissey/Smiths song, I'd go for Cemetey Gates myself. If only because I used that one to woo a very fit lass at University 25 years back.
-
Love will tear us apart - Joy Division
Every day is like Sunday - Morrissey

Good choice.

Did you know that Morrissey wrote a song about the late, great Billy McKenzie? "William, it was really nothing."

Just listened to them. She reminds me a lot of Harriet Wheeler.

-
What, no love for Bob the Builder, Teletubbies, or Gummie bears?
Not even a mention of Star Trekkin, or one of Timmy Mallet's masterpieces?
I despair, I really do.
-
Never thought of that comparison TRB but I guess you're right. They both have a crystal-sharp but fragile voice. Harriet Wheeler's voice worked well in The Sundays because the fragility matched the music. I reckon Lauren Mayberry's works even better with the razor-sharp perfection of Chvrches synth music because it gives a fallible human counterpoint to the brutally perfect music.

Just been listening to some old stuff on youtube on my lunch break, keeping following the links to other stuff.
Ended with a recording of the Sisters of Mercy John Peel session from 1982.
Peel Sessions, now there's a playlist!!

Not bad the Churches piece BST. I do like a good bit of synth pop.
Christ & Cosey are out of retirement, releasing new material and performing again. They play Sheffield on Oct 4, I might be tempted to go along.
