Without a shadow of a doubt, the best song ever written.
Philipcentral
Lager, lager, lager
Philipcentral
Allegedly John Peel's favorite song of all time. That's good enough for me.
Philipcentral
Well, I couldn't pick Duran Duran or ABC from the 80s, could I?
Philipcentral
Boy, does this take me back .. baggy trousers, big jackets, silly hats.
Philipcentral
I've never really understood why I was so attracted to this tune. But I was - I even told myself if ever I had a daughter she would be called Lydia.
Philipcentral
Wanted to pick Chateau in Virginia Water. I used to live there and thought how cool it was that someone wrote a song about the village where I lived.
Philipcentral
Everything on this album is just so dirty-funky. Coulda put Run-DMC in this slot, but then that'd be too obvious.
Philipcentral
Why couldn't this have been the gay anthem we're all happy to sing along to, rather than the execrable YMCA?
Philipcentral
Like Neil Young, without the whiny voice.
Philipcentral
Meant a lot to me, this song, when feeling sorry for myself over some or other mishap. Just thump this up to 11 on the boom box.
Philipcentral
Heard, and became soaked in this song from playing some driving game on Dreamcast. Forgot the game, but remembered the song.
Philipcentral
Disgusted when we moved to the USA only to find they're called "The London Suede" over here. Why not rename the fakers "The American Suede"?
Philipcentral
Proves that Quentin Tarantino and I have more in common than just liking Uma Thurman's bum.
Philipcentral
So good, you almost forget it's a bleeding POP song.
Philipcentral
Candidate for the best opening lines of any song: "Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity. I know which one I prefer."
Philipcentral
Like The Prodigy, it's crazy how they plummeted so quickly. I know that's an oxymoron, cuz you can hardly plummet slowly, but you know what I mean.
Philipcentral
Saying you like London in the rain is like saying you like a wire brush up your arse, but it's art, so that's OK.
Philipcentral
Deeper than a conversation with mescal-fueled Nietzschean.
Philipcentral
Ha, back when MTV played videos. Coulda picked 10 Sonic Youth songs. Sigh
Philipcentral
There are only 2 songs I can dance to. This is one of them.
Philipcentral
One of the most beautiful / sad synth-pop tunes of all time. Too bad Marc wasn't wearing a better lid when he fell off his scooter a couple years ago.
Philipcentral
My brother from another mother. Pffft. Toss up between this and "What's My Name?"
Philipcentral
Whatever happened to Trip Hop? And Sherbert Dips?
Philipcentral
"As Anthony said to Cleopatra, as he opened a crate of ale". Classic. If this was a Top 500, I'd have room for a dozen more from Mr. Morrissey.
Philipcentral
Goth central
Philipcentral
Sonic Youth sans feedback (which is not always a good idea).
Philipcentral
gimme a D. gimme an I. gimme an S .....
Philipcentral
Hard to pick just one from the world's best band. This'll have to do.
Philipcentral
Am I ashamed to say I love this? Hell no.
Philipcentral
Cheesy, in a nice and cheesy way.
Philipcentral
Ahh, the City of Compton. Still give realtors nightmares.
Philipcentral
Showing off the $25 they spent on the video.
Philipcentral
One of those hip-hop songs that works almost as well live as it does in the studio. A rare thing.
Philipcentral
Saw them at SF's Cafe du Nord. Mrs P fell asleep at the bar. Not as big an indictment as you'd think. She did same at The Fillmore, for Sonic Youth!
Philipcentral
Don't let the cross-dressers fool you. This is Mark E. Smith from The Fall, showing off his electro chops.
Philipcentral
Richard Ashcroft has the same musicality-to-assholeness ratio as both Gallaghers combined. But this song is nevertheless wonderful.
Philipcentral
Crushed by the weight of his self-asserted cool-ness, but a good oldie.
Philipcentral
Camden Lock. 1991. Thems were the days.
Philipcentral
Can't find a video. Did they ever perform live?
Philipcentral
Doesn't look much like Ibiza, does it?
Philipcentral
Allegedly have a new album out July 2009. We'll see if Tjinder Singh has the nerve for that.
Philipcentral
Candidate for the best intro of all time. A bit Stones-ish, but better than anything they did.
Philipcentral
Apparently, all you need is a computer + cakewalk and you're golden.
Philipcentral
Brian Molko could win Miss Universe looking like that.
Philipcentral
Mrs P thinks Polly Harvey should never wear red lipstick. Aside from that incisive critique, this is perfect.
Philipcentral
Shabby quality, but even that doesn't hurt the song too much - that's how good it is.
Philipcentral
Chalk and cheese. This and the Calvin Harris cover. Discocovertastic.
Philipcentral
French techno - you either love it or hate it. J'adore.
Philipcentral
Karen O vs Polly Harvey? LRFs (Low resolution foxes).
Philipcentral
Maybe a bit too serious for their own good. But then, they named themselves after an anti-Nazi organization, so that's nice.
Philipcentral
Works even better when they play this live and a bit faster.
Philipcentral
Typical of a groove from many, many bands. But this one's nice 'n jangly, with massive feedback.
Philipcentral
Tried singing this to Sohan (3 years' old) the other day. Strangely, he didn't like it. Must. Try. Harder.
Philipcentral
Can't listen to this without thinking of my brother Stephen head-banging at his computer. I love him much more than the song.
Philipcentral
Tres funky
Philipcentral
I remember Lawrence (my bro) watching guys pogo-ing to this in a club and saying "you can't dance with a girl like that!" Not sure he ever dances.
Philipcentral
Saw them in LA, and seeing them again tonight at The Independent, San Francisco. Unsurprisingly intelligent for an English band.
Philipcentral
Smart, bearded, English, and hot! But enough about me - what about Dan Le Sac?
Philipcentral
May not be appropriate for my funeral, on so many levels. Maybe after, with the champagne and sandwiches?
Philipcentral
Joe, meet Phil Spector. I'm sure he won't be needing all those wigs in solitary.
Philipcentral
Couldn't find the acoustic version, so this'll have to do :)
Philipcentral
Jody's suggestion. A tune from a Toon.
Philipcentral
Today I didn't even have to use my PC, I gotta say it was a good day ;)
Philipcentral
Not likely to be heard on American Idol.
Philipcentral
Where have they been all my life?
Philipcentral
Hard to screw up this wonderful tune, and Cornershop don't. But remind me never to go shirt shopping with Tjinder Singh.
Philipcentral
Old and grimy.
Philipcentral
Cruddy recording (live), but a great sound.
Philipcentral
Tjinder's back
Philipcentral
First released by Calvin Harris, but a very different version here from Editors. Diff'rent strokes an' all that.
Philipcentral
John Fogerty has such a unique voice, and improves massively on the weird 1957 original from Screamin’ Jay Hawkins
Philipcentral
If I was a poet, I'd like to be Scroobius Phil
Philipcentral
Ahhh, the sound of crunchy frogs' legs
Philipcentral
Looking forward to seeing Gossip next week!!!
Philipcentral

Powerman 5000 - When Worlds Collide.....my fist colliding with something or someone LOL
