Prince poll would probably feature very few tracks recorded after, say, 1993. So yeah. BUT, there's so much goodness that came before that (and also why I suggested incorporating proteges and/or songs he'd written for other acts).

PSB would be great for a lot of people, I guess, but after Behavior it's all really hazy for me.

(Has anyone mentioned Dylan? I'm not officially mentioning Dylan. I'm just asking if anyone has.)

Kate Bush, although an awesome act, probably qualifies less in terms of having different style periods. OK, basically I guess the first couple of albums were kind of different, but otherwise, Kate Bush has been pretty much typically Kate Bush all along, with no style changes, but always very unique and unlike all other acts.

Until she became the influence du jour about five years ago, I guess.

For PSB, I'd also include the handful of productions they did, Dusty/Liza Minelli/Eight Wonder/Cicero, even god forbid Ian Wright if you're a masochist.

....wow!
so we are doing this right?
13 plus people is more than enough to run something like this.
plus, i would think people would like being turned on to the best band of the 90's stuff!

Yeah I'd love a Bowie one too.

Let's wait until the Pavement and hiphop polls close and then assess whether it's worth doing. 13 people ain't bad, and we may get a couple more ballots. If people don't wanna get involved it's no biggie.

haha, yeah i was following that. Carr's commentary was jokes - more about beer and TV than the actual birth, but I'm sure he was being tongue in cheek.

He didn't call his kid "Sailor" though, surely??

I had pics of Amber and Alice both up within the day of their births, for interested family members..

Xpost No, he called her Little Sailor.

The Boos have been creeping into my conscious lately - maybe because my g/f is upping sticks to study in Peterborough and a lot of Carr's songs were about having to move around the country cos of his relationship at the time.
I dreamt I saw a reformed Boo Radleys play at a festival. They asked me to join them on back-up for Lazarus, for which the crowd went wild. But then they played Almost Nearly There (an acoustic b-side number) and the crowd left the tent with the soundman turning the set down halfway through the song. Such a shame! I remember feeling quite disappointed about this.

So in the absence of a poll, can we talk about favourite tracks, deep cuts, b-sides again?
