Tower of Strength
- The Mission.

A lot more indie than I remembered. A pleasant surprise.

Sheer aceness from the brilliance that is Nixon...

Lambchop - Up With People

Soon to be seen, and sung along to, in "Aladdin": Monty Python - The Galaxy Song.

I don't think this bit of insane pop genius has been posted yet, so it's time to rectify that anomaly:

KLF featuring Tammy Wynette - Justified and Ancient

(Oh, and Stanmore, the link on your last post is messed up...)

John Barrowman - Feeling Good

I love John Barrowman. I love this song. He was superb when I saw him in Miss Saigon all those years ago, he was wonderful when I saw him live last year, and I can't wait to see him in Panto next week and then live in concert again in the Spring. Plus - he's Captain Jack. What's not to love?

ETA: Since posting that I've booked our tickets for the 2009/10 Panto (Robin Hood (again) in Cardiff). I'm happy, the kids'll be happy, Tim will be happy - Barry can live with it!

I first heard this at the end of Drop the Dead Donkey. It's brilliant.

Jimmy Ruffin - What Becomes of the Brokenhearted

*coughs*

How about booking your tickets for Aladdin?

I'm not a Streisand fan. But I heard this the other day and just roared with laughter...bless her

We're in the hands of the MIL right now. Normally she spends her time moaning that we don't visit enough. When we want to visit (and it suits us) suddenly it might not suit her Apparently she had plans for that weekend. Allegedly she's trying to alter them. Barry will be speaking to her on Sunday (lucky him).

Okie dokie.

yay!!

Thank You. Why you people let the least technically proficient man on here organise this thread I'll never know

Flogging Molly - Selfish Man
One of the joys of the glory days of Kazaa was receiving completely the wrong song. I listened to this over and over in my hovel in Manchester.

While I know it might seem like the height of crassness to post TV theme tunes, I like this one so much I really don't care :

Sonny Rhodes - Firefly theme

Ladytron- Runaway

From me- hard fast and brutal. And also the perfect group to represent Britain in the Eurovision Song Contest, seeing as they're a quarter Bulagarian, therefore sealing that all important East European block vote!

Bulagaria - that's the one just under Latveria, isn't it?

Nope, it's next to Italia! Now shaddapayaface!

I Don't Care
- Shakespeare's Sister.

The Kids would say that 'This Rocks!'. And, for once, The Kids would be (all) right...

Faces - Stay With Me

Oh yes, it's Abba - Summer Night City.

So fellers, were you an Agnetha or Frida man?

I was a bit young for that sort o'thing, to be honest.

But it was Frida...

Good man yerself Gray.

Tony Wilson nce remarked that there were two sort of bands in the world- those that wanted to be the Beatles, and those that wanted to be the Velvet Underground, and that he was always far more interested in those that wanted to be the later. So am I.

Supposedly, everyone who bought the Velvet Underground and Nico on its original release went out and formed a band... that said, not many people bought it. So, while the Beatles sung about love and acid, the Velvets were singing about S&M and heroin. Here's


The Velvet Underground- Venus In Furs

(There's also a nice Evening Standard interview with drummer Mo Tucker from around twenty years ago that begins with her just coming out of Forbidden Planet in London having been buying some Dr Who merchandise for her children. I find it strangely fitting that there's a Who fan in the Velvets!)

Japan - Ghosts

So of it's time - yet it still stands up today.

It's taken me ages to go back through this thread and now I need to head outwards, so before you get the opportunity to look at a big list, here's a song to enjoy:-

The Triffids - Wide Open Road

I think that's true of bands that make it, but I've been to enough student band gigs to know that Velvet-inspiration isn't always a good thing. It can inspire a preening tit thinking how cool he is for singing about S&M and heroin. (The worst band for rubbish inspiration is Sonic Youth... well certainly in quantity...
