hmmm i see at least 2 nominations for 'when doves cry' here - i always think: if ONLY it didn't go on a bit at the end....

nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 28 July 2003 17:19 (twenty years ago) link

I'm with Nickalicious here, my god. Getting rid of that ending (and that oh so early eighties synth break) would be a tragedy.

I'm not sure what I hate more: the list I posted earlier, the announcement that such a boringass list was actually planned out ahead of time, or the fact that it was STILL boring after I insisted on breaking the rules to post 40 songs. Anyway, please disregard my earlier list, and allow me to newly represent myself with this much more efficient and hopefully less embarrasing one...

The Plimsouls, "A Million Miles Away"
Sex Pistols, "Holiday In The Sun"
Wire, "Map Ref. 41N 93W"
After The Fire, "Der Kommisar"
Christina Aguilera, "Genie In A Bottle"

Stardust, "Music Sounds Better With You"
Nazz, "Forget All About It"

The Beatles, "I'm Only Sleeping"
The Hollies, "Look Through Any Window"
The Zombies, "She's Not There"
The Cardigans, "Lovefool"
