warren whitmore:
This isn't something I would do lightly or even slowly.

I'll do mine one at a time.

I've done exactly the same thing before on another thread, in another forum.

http://www.goldenline.pl/forum/do-you-speak-english/13...

Anyway, I numbered mine in order of merit. This one is definitely my No1, and is as fresh and original as the very first time I heard it.

Sparks: "This town ain't big enough for the both of us"
Anyone else love this song?

OK. Now No 2. (Iknow I'm doing things the wrong way round).

I love Mark Bolan and his music. His songs are beautiful and gentle. I paticularly like the songs from his old underground days before he went electric, and was an obscure cult hero.

This is the most beautiful Tyrranosaurus Rex song, before Mark Bolan became a teeny-bopper glam rock idol.

Mark Bolan and Mickey Flynn, By the light of a magical moon., from a gentler, more idealistic and less commercial era.

This is a live recording, so the sound quality is better in the studio version.

Bolan was very much influenced by Tolkein, so Kasia P might like him.

And now for No3.

Eine Symphonie des Grauens by the monochrome set.

Predictably no response for No3.

But a truly great band nonetheless.

Now for No4:

The Stranglers: "Nice 'n' sleazy"

Legendary concert in Battersea Park.

Beautiful redhead. Must be in her fifties by now.

Aren't things bland now in comparison to how they were?

No-one got anything to say about the Stranglers in Battersea?

Keith?

Anyway, my next selection at No5:

Talking Heads: 'Girlfriend is better'

'Once in a Lifetime' is by far their best song.

However, David Byrne's fashion sense and dancing is very visually appealing to me in this vid. Not as good as Ron Mael's, but good nevertheless.

Watch it.

Maybe David Byrne's big suit is insufficient reason to put a song into No5.

Anyway, a change of plan.

The next song I dedicate to my virtual stalker.

No 6 The Smiths and "How soon is now?"

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

Any comments from anyone else on the Talking Heads vid?

So Nos 7 and 8

Time for a bit of pantomime:

No 7 PiL 'This is not a love song"

Live in Tokyo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBhFX_H4oB0

And No 8 'The Damned' 'Love Song'

'Live' in Germany.

Brits taking the piss out of Krauts.

Pure genius.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m2JyiggwAU

The Damned are fun. Enjoy.

Any comments are more than welcome.

Btw would rock stars from any country apart from Britain 'perform' like this?

P Ola certainly would not be amused.

So we come to my last two plus bonus track:

No 9 Iggy Pop "I wanna be your dog".

Certainly raw power.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbLRf0j80wU

No 10 Joy Division "Transmission/Lost Control"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCVHAjTBb1U

Watch out for the dancing.

And finally, bonus track:

Devo: "Are we not men".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRguZr0xCOc

Well worth watching to the end.

Suggest Sylwia sets up thread for the 'ten next best', and we write schematic lists.

Good point. It's natural we like our stuff (otherwise we wouldn't put it here), but other people's choices are also worth commenting even when it's not necessarily a praise.Sylwia Łubkowska edytował(a) ten post dnia 15.06.08 o godzinie 21:16

Thanks Anna.

This must have taken you some time.

A lot of this stuff is unknown to me.
