OK format changed.....re-edited.

On my merry way to work this morning I was listening to a few old tracks and it got me thinking. When I hear a good tune, or appreciate a good song, I want to share it, I want others to hear how good things are. One thing led to another and I started thinking of tracks that would make it into my all time 'best album'. Obvioulsy this album is 499290 songs long, but it's a starting point. I'm open to being swayed away from my choices if you think there are better....Let's get eclectic..come on deadmen.

Needs a Home:
My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult - Do You Fear For Your Child

What would you put in and why, I'll start you with some obscure'ish stuff.

1. Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus - One of the ones I listened to again this morning, there's something maudling but catchy about the sounds, very like their other stuff, but more defining.

2. Charles Wright - Express Yourself - Another old and gold, sampled a million times, but the original holds together well. Just enough funk to keep you going, trumpets chirping in with a solid bass line. I could listen to this all day.

Another one I'm chewing over is Amos Moses by Jerry Reed. It's a C&W which I don't like, but this has a nice guitar riff running in it and sounds clean. I'm trying to have a nice spread...


MadNess get in here and gimme some metal. There are a few tunes I like, but I need input. I like some Rammstein stuff, one track in particular, but I'm sure you can add.

When the levee breaks by Led Zeppelin is a personal fav of mine. Robert Plant's vocals are at their best.

For whom the bell tolls by Metallica fantastic driving guitars.

Jesus just left chircago/waiting for the bus by ZZtop lovely dirty blues.

Hold on there trigger, you can't have a whole album. One song from Screamadelica maybe, it is a good album, pick a tune, and why.....
Step On you mean? I'd agree with that one, a changer of a generation of music.  I like the Prodigy, but dunno if Out of Space is their best track? What about Voodoo People. Always liked that....gonna add it if I can get you to concur.

Not heard the rest so it's open to the rest of the community.

Not heard these gfk, any other volunteers.

On a breakbeat tip try Fibbonacci Sequence by B.T. Stunning tune.

Oh and Clubbed To Death by Rob Duggan is another, very chilled tune indeed. Its featured in The Matrix.

[BigFatCat]

break on through - the doors
sympathy for the :devil:  - rolling stones
stop the rock - apollo 440.

and a whole reel of kylie numbers. :blush:

[A Twig]

Coolio - Gangster's Paradise

[FatBob]

/Mr T "I ain't concurring nobody fool"

Movin on up from screamadelica album if really pushed but i just think the whole album from start to finnish is just a journey for the sunday morning after the rave.
movin on up is just such an anthem for a generation.

also step off  :whistle:  :blush:  DOH!! Step on

i went for outer space cos it was the one i still liked today (esp the boing). heard charlie to death and alot of the voodoo/firestarter type stuff i had on vinyl that has just been rinsed to death when mixing !!. when raving outer space was always the one that got the place kicking at 5.00am in the rain in a field somewhere.  :dribble:  :blink:

[Benny]

Added what I feel like cos it's my thread, unless anyone wants to get all passionate....Nicely put fateth bobeth...you won mate.

I do like Clubbed to Death, always have, and this thread is doing what I hoped and reminding me of some class tunes.

Coolio....not sure if I like it that much, although I can see it's merits I think there are better tunes in the same genre.

I think tomorrow, I'm gonna split it up and make it genre based.  Dougie Fresh etc etc, coming up.

[FatBob]

thought of a few more, i delved deep into my box last night when the wife was safley strapped into the bed (oohh-er missus).


the specials - too much too young/guns of navarone (live)
The best two-tone single ever guns of navarone was my fave, great bouncy tune huge horns and that noise that only lynval gooding could make!. great war movie as well.
(have too say there is a slight possibility that 'message too you rudy' or the one that really kicked off the whole ska thing 'gangsters' would equally be as good. for me tho the thrill of finding such an astoundingly good track as the guns of navarone on the AA side was the clincher..

UB40 - Dont slow down/Dont let it pass you by AA single

House of pain - jump around  oh my gosh!! BOSS TUNEAGE

The Clash - Bank Robber

The Damned - Love Song     ohh yeah "Just for you heres a love song...."

Baby D - Let me be your Fantasy   /airhorns aplenty/whistle posse/horn crew/junglist massive "only for the U.K. hardcore raver OI OI!!!!"

time too get some sleep now, more box investigation and suggestions to come

cmon OB get ur Ozric tentacles out for the boys  :blink:

The Stranglers "nice 'n' sleazy"

Motorhead "Ace of Spades"

Squeeze  "Take me I'm yours"

The Dickies "Eve of destruction"

my 2p worth

Age of consent-New Order, Mainly because it sounded well against the rumble of my 460 cu powered Capri. :devil:

..... and, She's lost control by joy division, as it annoys the hell out of the wife. :whistle:

[Benny]
