I think the title of the thread may give you a clue.

It doesn't ask for the best songs ever. Just the ones perfect to you.

All 5 have very personal meanings and I can remember vividly where and when they became so. Soundtrack to my life if you like. Perfect.

I think personal opinions are irrelevant, you can't follow In my life by the beatles with a travis song, it is one of the commandments

The world should listen to more music by the La's, rather than just 'there she goes'

A couple off the top of my head of my 'most beatiful' favourite songs as you put it Guv:

That joke isn't funny anymore - The Smiths:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEmsjyUrslk

The Crystal Ship - the Doors:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_-pDIuCiao

I love most of what The La's ever recorded VD and whilst TSG is a little overplayed etc etc it is still their most perfect moment. Obvious but true .

Crystal Ship is my favourite Doors song too baby.

The crystal ship is an amazing song, it's on their self titled album which I think is a brilliant album. If you haven't already heard it give it a try, but skip 'end of the night', it's the only shit song on it

Bigga · 3 Jul 2008

For the record, I also like 'Driftwood'.

However, I like "The End" - The Doors (my location should tell you that!)
and the very brilliantly written "Protection" - Massive Attack.

It's my favourite Doors album, End Of The Night is a bit turd but it isnt that bad really. I like most of The Doors stuff to be honest.

Good call,Knight.
Swap "I Only Said" for "When You Sleep" and "Crystal Days" for "Villier's Terrace" and it's so good its scary.
Still deaf in one ear from MBV last w/end.

Knight1979 · 3 Jul 2008

I'm going to try to see them in San Francisco Sept. 30th!! Can't wait!!

Nijinsky, are you into Boris? They are kind of all over the place but "Pink" which was released a couple of years ago has some shoegaze in it.

I saw them last weekend and they were amazing.

Balti · 3 Jul 2008

too hard this!

a song that I should not like because it is not Slaughter and the Dogs; Where have all the bootboys gone (which is obviously the best love song in history), and is probably not cool, but love anyway is:

Don Henley, Boys of Summer:

Yeah,they certainly are different.Only heard "farewell" and the myspace downloads,but like it.
Like a cross between Soundgarden and Enter Shikari on bad acid.
Take your earplugs to MBV mate,(unless i'm getting old),and enjoy!
And have a fab Independance Day tomorrow.
