no votes

by southwaytotheworld

Even at 16 my memory is pretty rubbish so I'll just have to go for:

1. C-C you set the fire in me
2. I Ain't Saying My Goodbyes
3. If You Want

on We Have Sound by Tom Vek. Also Regina Spektor - Us, followed by Joanna Newsome and Mara Carlyle and Laura Marling. Now your turn...

I don't understand...

Substance has a very good track listing...


I'm sorry rapscalion but

I keep reading your post but, and this may make me look really stupid, I have no idea what you are trying to say. I assume you are referring to Joy Division.

Anyway in terms of three great consecutive songs on an album I think we are all forgetting the trio from Purple Rain of Darlinh Nikki, When Doves Cry and I Would Die 4 U. Sweet.


Yes

Joy Divison's Substance, from about track five to track nine they are utterly fantastic.


the stills

the album 'logic will break your heart' starts with 3/4 really good tracks.

the rest is a bit hit and miss, but i'll nominate that 'cos its a nice album.

1- lola stars and stripes
2- gender bombs
3- changes are no good

probably not very cool though.


Civil Disobedients

by Capdown

"Unite to progress - kained but albe - ska wars"

and

RFTC's Scream Dracula Scream!

"Middle - Born in '69 - On a Rope."


i'd say the whole stills album

runs rather fantastically. maybe 7 8 9 would be my favourite, but all good.

its cool to me, and thats what counts


last 3 songs on Disintegration by the Cure !


First three tracks on Doolittle played at super volume...


the first 3 tracks off clors album..are great


dunno about best ever

but two that spring to mind:

- fox cub
- apocalypso
- special

from mew and the glass handed kites, and:

- pornography for cowards
- breaking the back
- i am the party

from million dead - a song to ruin.


Auteurs

Hard to beat this trio from The Auteurs' After Murder Park:

7. Married to a lazy lover
8. Buddha
9. Tombstone


rftc

sds


yep


meaning?

.


hmmm

(nice dream)
just
my iron lung

if bullet proof wasn't next it could have also included black star


first off

great fucking question, secondly, i'll ge tback to you as this is a thinker!!


I've got a best 6

The first 6 songs on Wind In The Wires by Patrick Wolf. Can't be beaten.


easy

Buzzcocks at last year's Camden crawl.
It was much more than 3.


well now...

Bibi Couldn't See
Strange Kind of Love
Push and Shove
(from Cud "When in Rome Kill Me")

Cruel
Couldn't Bear to Be Special
I Never Play Basketball Now
(from Prefab Sprout "Swoon"

Ants Invasion
Killer in the Home
Kings of the Wild Frontier
(Adam and the Ants "KOTWF")

are particularly good hat-tricks.


Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain

Silent Kid
Ell Ess Too
Stop Breathin

so good, Pavement couldn't even decide on what to call the songs.


hmm

when i saw tom waits he did:
Invitation to the blues
Johnsburg, Illinois
Come on up to the house

on piano. i almost died


Blonde On Blonde

4. One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later)
5. I Want You
6. Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again

I find it hard to think of any one of those songs without the other.


levellers

fifteen years
the game
another man's cause

sold


It's good

Good Levellers shout there but what album is that from? Is it from a Best Of? I was thinking that picking from a Best Of was cheating a bit, don't know why I was thinking that but there you go.


Hell Yeah.

Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat
Just Like A Woman
Most Likely You Go Your Way (I'll Go Mine

and

4th Time Around
Obviously 5 Believers
Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands

mmmm, Blonde on Blonde.


When I saw

Ian Dury And The Blockheads live they encored with

Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick
Sweet Gene Vincent
Sex And Drugs And Rock And Roll

up there with the great gigs I've been to


Keeping it '06...

...I would put 'Nth Degree', 'Jetsetter' and 'Take Off Your Clothes' from the Morningwood album up against pretty much anything.


At the drive-in

Realtionship of command
1. Arcasanal
2. Pattern against user
3. One armed scissor


seconded

.


abba gold

dancing queen
knowing me knowing you
mamma mia

three true pop classics back to back, what a way to kick the cd off


Transplants

controversial, but to be really fucking sad...

Romer Stomper
Tall Cans In The Air
Dj Dj

sorry but i like this album. when drunk. a lot.
