Have fun! You might have problems finding the Quruli track. For some reason the PV isn't available on YouTube in the UK. There are a couple of live versions, but since the studio original is made up of mostly loops and samples they bear little resemblance to it and IMO are vastly inferior.

tbh the whole of the Black Water park album is amazing but then there really isnt any of their output that is substandard so The Moor is up there, can also hold The Ocean, Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson up along side them

Say Hello Wave Goodbye - Soft Cell
Let Me Go - Heaven 17
Come Live With Me - Heaven 17
Whiteman In Hammersmith Palais - The Clash

All have been favourites for years but at the moment Belle and Sebastien's Nobody's Empire would have to be right up there

Posted

So very many but I'll go with...

Mr Blue Sky - ELO
The Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy
Heartsong - Gordon Giltrap
Tom Sawyer - Rush
I Should've Known - Aimee Mann

And I'll add two just bubbling under...
