Walking On a Thin Line.

Excellent lyric about Vietnam veterans, its become horribly relevant again.

Esther Be The One - A great end to a great album by an artist I otherwise don't care for

Next Up:

Moonchild (Including The Dream/The Illusion) - This sounds like it could have been recorded by Spinal Tap around the time they recorded Stonehenge.

Got to go with Stonehenge, which is so perfectly perfect on so many levels. That film created a template by which I watch every single interview with Ron Wood, Robert Plant and a host of others.

The Buzzcocks!

Everybodys Happy Nowadays - one of my favourite songs of all time.
3 minutes 12 seconds of perfect guitar pop.

The Raspberries

I Saw the Light - I like the descending chords in the chorus. It's a shame that Eric Carmen sold his soul to the musical devil.

Badfinger

I love 'Come and Get it' and 'Without You' but they would be obvious so:

'Rock of All Ages'

Pernice Brothers

Too many to name, but I'll choose "Cronulla Breakdown," a gorgeous little samba-flavored song about love and regret.

Blur

Love 'Cronulla Breakdown'. Was playing it on the ipod this morning.

As for Blur......lots to pick, but I'll go for and early classic..

Star Shaped.

Crowded House

Weather With You

Just a great song that everybody knows and loves.

On this one, pick the first song of his that comes into your head

Bob Dylan

Idiot Wind

Talking Heads

Heaven.
Great song though to my profound shame I got to know it through Simply Reds version

muted!

Btw, as promised, here is my favoured Pat Benatar song
Pat Benatar - Promises In The Dark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uCuFidmxQk - I love the sense of drama and heartbreak and passion in most of Pat Benatar's empathetic vocal renderings, but PITD has extra drama and passion and heartbreak. Love the control and building up to hitting the high notes so effortlessly (she is classically trained).
Mostly I love Pat Benatar, I think it's cool how she has never come off all slutty-like, like say Madonna.

back to...

Teddy Thompson

Hmm!

And once again, back to Teddy Thompson

Hey Martin, can you pick a Teddy Thompson song and another artist?

martinfoyle · Post by **martinfoyle** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 6:09 pm

Everybody Move It, from his 2nd album Separate Ways. A great song that should have been played off the radio.

Anna McGoldrick

I jest.

Phil Collins

In the Air Tonight

I'm not a Phil Collins fan by any stretch but this one came out during my last year of college and always takes me back to that arcane time and place.

Next up:
Clover
(It can't be a song from MAIT!)

Still Alive.
I saw Clover live back in 77 at the Nashville Rooms, within a few weeks of EC.

Its got to be the hippy, trippy 'Crimson and Clover' which I sometimes love and sometimes loath, depending on my mood.
