Oh My Life Story, fantastic. If You Can’t Live Without Me Then Why Aren’t You Dead Yet? is a great song. They were really bloody good.
Also good to see Belle & Sebastian get a few mentions, Boy With The Arab Strap was a favourite of mine too.

<br>I liked "Strumpet" and "King of Kissingdom" by them as well. What IS Jake Shillingford up to nowadays? His cannot be a talent to go to waste for evermore.
Now, Whipping Boy – that name rings a bell. Balding, scary Irish bloke, often on stage in stockings, wasn’t it? If that was the band behind "Twinkle", I think it was called ("She is the only one for me, now and always" all the way through the chorus), then yes, a great lost band as also. Shame the likes of this and MLS died on their arse during the Britpop era, whilst other, less worthy acts – oooh, Menswear and Northern Uproar, anybody? – were able to flourish. Hey ho.

Hi Jeremy
Yeah Twinkle and We Don’t Need Nobody Else were both off the Whipping Boy album "Heartworm"- still one of my all-time favourites.
Maybe your next thread should be a top 10 great lost bands stylee thing…

Dylan’s "All Along the Watchtower" also one of my fave songs – and in the spirit of this thread the XTC version is superb!

Once again amazed by the variety of music turned up on here, with old favourites like Seether by Veruca Salt and Drunken Butterfly by Sonic Youth getting a mention. I’m going to give my own CD list a go – in no particular order…<br>1 Travelling Light – Tindersticks & Carla Torgerson<br>2 Touch the Hem of his Garment – Sam Cooke<br>3 This Charming Man – The Smiths<br>4 Blue Thunder – Galaxy 500<br>5 Ike – Fruitcake<br>6 Car Song – Madder Rose<br>7 Dust My Broom – Elmore James<br>8 Stardust – Nat King Cole<br>9 I Ain’t Got No Home – Woody Guthrie<br>10 Midnight Special – Leadbelly<br>11 Katy Song – Red House Painters<br>12 Gravel Pit – Wu Tang Clan<br>13 Gimme Shelter – Rolling Stones<br>14 White Rabbit – Jefferson Airplane<br>15 Islands in the Stream – Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton<br>16 Jambalaya – Hank Williams<br>17 Lay All Your Love on Me – Abba<br>18 Submerge – Come<br>19 Turn of the Century – Royal Trux<br>20 High School Confidential – 68 Comeback<br>21 Who is he and what is he to you? – Creative Source<br>22 The Light will Stay on – The Walkabouts<br>23 Will the Circle be Unbroken? – The Carter Family<br>24 Lazy Line Painter Jane – Belle & Sebastian<br>25 Take Your Time – Spiritualized
These all came out in one stream of consciousness, I could have gone on all night! Even then I’m not sure all of these would fit on one CD…
Incredibly hard to just pick a few but here goes.

1, There is a Light – The Smiths<br>2, Becoming more like God – Jah Wobble<br>3, Salisbury Hill – Peter Gabriel<br>4, Cloudbusting – Kate Bush<br>5, Wrote For Luck – Happy Mondays<br>6, When Will i See You Again – The Real People<br>7, Girl, You’ll be a Woman – Neil Diamond<br>8, You Got the Love – Candi Staton<br>9, Bitterest Pill – The Jam<br>10, Karma Police – Radiohead<br>11, Live Forever – Oasis<br>12, So Amazing – Luther Vandross<br>13, Lucky Man – The Verve<br>14, Mondo 77 – Looper<br>15, Atmosphere – Joy Division<br>16, Dreams – The Cranberries<br>17, I Will Follow – U2<br>18, Don’t Panic – Coldplay  <br>19, This Is Not a Love Song – Public Image Limited  <br>20, How Soon Is Now – The Smiths <br>21, Adored – Stone Roses<br>22, Hold On – Bridewell Taxis<br>23, Nobody Told Me – John Lennon<br>24, Instant Karma – John Lennon

<br>  I left one off!! It has to go on as a hidden bonus track.
25, Iris – Goo Goo Dolls.

a couple of curiosities from me…
here is my choice of others’ choices, picking one song from each collection posted so far that wasn’t on my CD or by an artist featured on my CD (those in blue made my very long shortlist)…
Soba : KARMA POLICE radiohead<br>Seven Towers : GRAVEL PIT wu tang clan<br>Mully : TAINTED LOVE soft cell<br>Robgomm : ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER jimi hendrix<br>Khotso Moabi : DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME? pulp<br>Happy Jack : EVER FALLEN IN LOVE the buzzcocks<br>Bob Rolf : DIGNITY deacon blue (love this & don’t know why!)<br>KingMonkey : SLIDE AWAY oasis<br>Zome : TRASH suede<br>Tooting : MESSAGES omd<br>Grey Desire : TRUE FAITH new order<br>Graysonscolumn : SOON my bloody valentine <br>Twinkle Twinkle : SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK BLUES bob<br>Robertylea : BED-SHAPED keane<br>Grasshopper : NO WOMAN NO CRY bob marley<br>Burroughhill : BASKET CASE green day<br>Dave Jay : WIDE OPEN SPACE mansun<br>Zoz : LOST IN A MELODY delays
graysonscolumn – ‘Soon’ is almost as good as ‘Blown A Wish’ but not quite – in the days of cassettes that was my favourite track to fill space at the end of a C90!!!
