Like A Motorway is spoiled by that whacky drumbreak, i've always thought. Still could be my fave though.

^Exactly my opinion. Fortunately the synth bassline is massive!

"Avenue"

the first ten tracks are killer. i don't find anything after them coming up to the same standard. one pick? well i have 'kiss and make up' in my head at this moment so, why not.

Sarah WANKS OFF THE BEAR at the end of the Hug My Soul video? ^Directed by Steven Wells, I've just remembered. Which would explain the BEAR WANK scene.
I've always considered that to be a homage to this film. La Bete/The Beast. Got a similar weird bear rape scene and pretty typical of St Et to reference some obscure French thing.

no one who's ever tried to copy st etienne has ever been any good, right?
The first Dubstar album was excellent.
― Geir Hongro, Friday, 20 June 2008 09:18 (fifteen years ago) link
Its highs ("Stars"!)were pretty high, but it wasn't excellent all the way through, was it?
― Thomas, Friday, 20 June 2008 10:20 (fifteen years ago) link
what was it all? 4?

"like a motorway". i love that wacky drum break, too. i love everything about that song. it might actually be perfect.
"paper" would be second.

first dubstar album was good all the way through, yes
― Alan, Friday, 20 June 2008 10:47 (fifteen years ago) link
This is actually impossible. I can't even pick a sentimental favourite.
― Niles Caulder, Friday, 20 June 2008 11:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Voted for something that maybe not many (if any) one else'll go for, but given how great St Et are I'm prob way wrong
― Niles Caulder, Friday, 20 June 2008 11:46 (fifteen years ago) link
this is still impossible despite thinking i'd narrowed it down to 2 choices.

Jack Lemmon and Saturday are aces, people, give them a chance!

An abudance of riches. Am tempted to go for "Shad Thames", just to be different and for the Shadows sample.
― Rob M v2, Friday, 27 June 2008 12:00 (fifteen years ago) link
really hate the edit of Like A Motorway on this - not enough intro

"Sylvie", my favorite song of theirs, even with the congos.
― Euler, Friday, 27 June 2008 16:23 (fifteen years ago) link
not a single other person on this thread throwing support for "mario's cafe?"
― impudent harlot, Friday, 27 June 2008 16:46 (fifteen years ago) link
I LOVE "Mario's Cafe. But it doesn't beat "Avenue".
