New Manic Street Preachers' song "Rewind The Film" featuring Richard Hawley.
In fact Hawley does most of the singing.
I like it more and more with every listen.

Good article.

Green Day with my twin boys and their friend.
The band played their asses off and Billie Joe is one hell of a showman so we had a great time.

Now Macca with my daughter on Saturday.

(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding coming from PA speakers 15 minutes before the start of Green Day show in Lodz, Poland.

Congratulations on a well-deserved win. Excellent score.

Sad news.
But have faith, stay strong and don't give up, Phil.

I am not British, so I will not take any sides, as others so willingly do, with regards to her home politics. For me and my country, she is someone who will be remembered fondly for her strict anti-communist stance. Eastern Europe will always be thankful for her contribution to the demise of the dre...

Very sad news indeed.
R.I.P., Mr. Ebert.

Ooh la la, guys, that really is something.
Just listened to "Strangeways, Here We Come" this morning and thought, "Oh my God, this is one of the greatest bands ever!"

Just got tickets to Paul McCartney show in Warsaw in June.
First time ever in Poland.

Vote for Trust (or Almost Blue) as the Best Album of 1981.

Oh my, Secret Heart and Strawberry Blonde!! I wish I had been there ...
Did he play anything from Retriever? Imaginary Friends or How On Earth?

Nice to see that some of my favourites at least came close to inclusion.

Thanks again for all your reviews. I am sure great fun was had by all.

Has Elvis Costello site just started to present their own Countdown? http://www.elviscostello.com/news/5050-vision/394 91. Basement Kiss 92. Sulky Girl 93. Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head 94. Hoover Factory 95. Clubland 96. Pills and Soap 97. Bullets For The New-Born King 98. No Star - "197...

Bullet The Blue Sky - U2

Can’t argue with no. 1 choice. Brilliant song. Thanks again for the countdown and everything that has come with it – fun, excitement and controversy. :wink: Still hugely miss some of my favourite songs like Sleep Of The Just, I’ll Wear It Proudly, I Want You, My Dark Life, Still or London’s Brillian...

Countdownkid, what I wanted to say was that for me, and probably for quite a lot of other Elvis fans, as much as I like Radio, Radio, it wouldn't be as high in Top 100. But I also love how you stand by your choice and how eloquently you justify it. However, I find it harder to understand how any of ...

And A Bang On The Ear - The Waterboys

I'm speechless. I mean, I like being surprised now and then, but putting songs like National Ransom or Monkey To Man or your No.3 - Radio, Radio over any of the three mentioned above is more than controversial, to put it mildly. Unless of course, we somehow missed the rule that you exclude songs wit...

I Hate You (But You're Interesting) - The Beautiful South

I wouldn't place it in my Top 10, but I do like the song a lot. And it comes from one of my favourite Elvis' albums. Everything seems clear now. I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of I'll Wear It Proudly, Sleep Of The Just, Still and a couple of other songs in Top 100, but hey, everyone's entitled...

I first came to England in February 1989, one day after Spike was released. This album, and Veronica in particular, was the background to my almost half-year stay in London. Three months later I saw Elvis live for the first time when he played solo at RAH. Great time, fond memories. Happy to see Ver...

Just checked the site. Nothing yet.

One more title comes to my mind - The Poisoned Rose?
