[trans-chigley express]

Don't we all do this at BCB Cup time or is this thread for our real favourites rather than just a bunch of stuff we hope people will vote for?

[BARON CORNY DOG]

Don't we all do this at BCB Cup time or is this thread for our real favourites rather than just a bunch of stuff we hope people will vote for?

Precisely.

[Davey the Fat Boy]

I'd never list my favorites for the cup. That'd be suicide.

[toomanyhatz]

The basic answer is no, but I'll try to pull 20 recurring favorites out quickly as if it's one of those facebook notes:

[Phenomenal Cat]

15) Saturday's Gone - Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan

I've always been nervous about dropping money on those duet albums. What are they like?

[Nolamike]

I'd never list my favorites for the cup. That'd be suicide.

I do like Suicide, but feeling that variety is the spice of life, I doubt I'd have more than one of their songs in my top 20.

[Quaco]

Basing it on an old (thoroughly trounced) Cup list and adding 10 more -- and doing only one per artist just because it makes it a lot easier ...

The Rain, the Park and Other Things - The Cowsills
The Lord's Prayer - Roy Harper
Somewhere - Matt Munro
Ooh Baby Baby - Smokey/Miracles
Norman 3 - Teenage Fanclub
You've Lost That Loving Feeling - Righteous Brothers
Rivmic Melodies - Soft Machine
Dogs - The Who
I Am the Cosmos - Chris Bell
Rain in the Country (aka Unknown Song) - Pink Floyd
My Love My Life - ABBA
You're as Right as Rain - Stylistics
Tyrolean Music Station - The Conet Project
Supper's Ready - Genesis
Wonderful Land - Shadows
Begin the Beguine - Hutch (but also simply as a song, by anybody)
I Believe - Stevie Wonder
Not a Second Time - Beatles
I Nearly Married a Human - Gary Numan
It's Raining Today - Scott Walker

[Quaco]

5) She Was Tall, She Was High - The Pretty Things

I was debating between "Grass", "Trust", and "Defecting Grey" and finally decided on none of them! Nice to see you got them on there, Dave.

[Quaco]

Jethro Tull ~ "Inside"
The Flamingos ~ "I Only Have Eyes For You"

These two really get me going!

[pcqgod]

Wonderful Land - Shadows

I almost put that one on my list.

[Loki]

Jethro Tull ~ "Inside"
The Flamingos ~ "I Only Have Eyes For You"

These two really get me going!

I noticed you like 'rain' songs. They're usually pretty romantic.

Of course I've been thinking of songs that could easily be on there. 20 just ain't enuf.

I love that Cowsills tune. Full of imagery; it always makes me happy.

[The Fish]

It's Raining Today - Scott Walker

You're American Jim, ergo you have to hate Scott Walker. Sorry I don't make the rules. Matt Wilson can explain it to you.

Actually that's a great song.

[clive gash]

Well?

[Rayge]

Well?

Yes, thanks for asking. And how are you?
