Thankfully, not the same one. I couldn't imagine Ian Curtis having sung lyrics like those!

Roads - Portishead
Wealth - Talk Talk
Slave To The Wage - Placebo

Re: Fave songs
'roads' is an amazing tune. ' dummy' a fantastic album. one of bristols finest portishead. beth gibbons had an unbelievable voice. remember watching their roseland NYC concert in '97. supreme stuff!

Re: Fave songs
Sorry, mate- I was a bit narky and knacked! !wink!
I'm protective of my music......... !adolf!
We should start threads asking what the best song is by a certain band, that will give constructive comment.
Of bands frequently mentioned on your music threads so far, for me:
Joy Division: Dead Souls
New Order: True Faith 94
Kraftwerk: Trans-Europe Express (or Autobahn??)
.......and soforth. Too tired !sleep!
Heard of a cracking electro-gallic-rock outfit called Stereolab, dave78?

Re: Fave songs
hey fudgeflaps, no problem. i have a similar outlook. just wanted to spark some conversation, and controversy, about music. good choices in terms of best songs by artists. thinking of some bands and songs that i and others have mentioned recently, i suppose my faves might be:
Joy Division - Atmosphere; Love will tear us apart; Decades.
New Order - Blue Monday; Bizarre Love Triangle; Regret; True Faith
Kraftwerk - Tour de France; The Model; Spacelab
Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant
The Jam - Town called Malice
The Beatles - Across the Universe; A Day in the Life
Portishead - Roads; Glory Box; Sour Times
The Stranglers - Golden Brown
The Smiths - Reel around the fountain
Beach boys - Good Vibrations; God Only Knows
Yeah, I have heard some stuff by Stereolab but years back, around the '98 period. I don't own any of their stuff actually. They are good. Remember listening to them when I was really into quite obscure electro dance stuff (e.g. Autechre, Boards of Canada etc.)

Re: Fave songs
Trying to narrow this down is bloody difficult, but here goes anyways...
In no particular order (and probably subject to change depending on my mood)...
Martha & the Muffins - Echo Beach
Rage Against the Machine - Bullet In The Head
Teardrop Explodes - Reward
Rollins Band - Liar
XTC - Senses Working Overtime
This feels just like the scene (or the chapter if you've read the book) in High Fidelity where the main character keeps changing his all-time top 10 ad infinitum...and it pains me to leave certain tunes out, but hard choices have to be made sometimes!
