My new favourite band....it's marvellous to just be discovering their great works. Just wondered what people's top 5 tunes are, because I reckon it's pretty difficult & will be diverse & interesting. I've not heard all their output but for me:
1. Expectations
2. Seeing other People
3. Sleep the Clock Around
4. This is just a modern rock song
5. The state that I am in

I have no idea actually. That's like asking me which were my favourite crumbs in a really nice cake.
Re: Top 5 Belle and Sebastian Songs
But, after much deliberation,
1. We Rule the School (a song every single person must listen to in their lifetime)
2. Stars of Track and Field
3. Lord Anthony
then....
God damn. They're all wonderful. Chalet Lines, so sad, but beautiful. She's Loosing It "when the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up". Mary Jo, Get Me Away From Here, The Boy Done Wrong Again.
This is a trick question isn't it.
