Hmmm, as well as wildly inconsistent I am clearly over generous. Note to self: be more Bimbo.
You bastard, I was 10 minutes earlier this am trying to come up with a really good one and couldn't . . . other than the rather obscure band 4 Naan-Blondes.
I had a better one but didnt dare.
Madonna, Poppodom Bridge.

I prefer a bit of doo wop, particularly fond of the Anthony and the Imperials classic - Tears on my Pilau
Nothing Really Madras is an old favourite of mine as long as there is a toilet near by unless of course my guests like the smell of sulphur dioxide and ammonia.Mine is the famous Styx song, Raita Way.

I like True Colours very much but have only liked bits and pieces of their other stuff, like Frenzy and whichever it was that came after Waiata (Time and Tide I think?) but as with XTC and Mummer/Big Express, I liked individual songs on other records but not the other records on the whole as much. (I realiz(s)e this is likely to make me a pariah with XTC fans who like the stuff before and/or after those two records). I didn't cotton to Tim Finn's solo stuff at ALL, but I did like Crowded House.Fog, I would be interested in what you think of any of Spilt Enz earlier works. I was wondering if you decided that Waiata (which expanded on the influence Neil Finn had on Tim Finns writing on True Colours and how commercial success altered their product significantly ) made it worth your while to listen to earlier material along the lines of what Flesh and Blood may have inspired you to do likewise. We all know that time and what you do with it waits for no one but I have much of their early stuff good and bad and given your excellent time management skills I thought you might have made time to delve into some of early Split Enz earlier material.
At the risk of upsetting Rob they are well ahead of Midnight Oil in my pecking order.
As for Midnight Oil, I guess I never really put them in a pecking order -- owning one MO record and owning two SE records I guess you could say that I rank SE "higher" but that seems silly.
Sometimes when you hear a record you really love, the other stuff a band does is disappointing by comparison, so you stop exploring and cherish the record you really love; other times, a whole catalog gets opened up and the band becomes an all-timer.

That's what I'm talkin' about! Need some more club electronica up in this here thread. Loved these guys when I saw them open for New Order and I have worn out the grooves on "Dig Your Own Hole."Chemical Brothers - Surrender
