Handrejka 1,904 Posted March 3, 2007 First three that come to mind are Celuloid Heroes - The Kinks Femme Fatale - Nico Monday Monday - Mamas and Papas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave to the Grave 11 Posted March 3, 2007 I suppose ordinarily for me the obvious choice would be three of these, but tonight it would be: Life's a Gas - T. Rex Sweet Gene Vincent - Ian Drury and the Blockheads Give Up the Funk - Parliament Funkadelic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monoclinic 39 Posted March 4, 2007 I can't believe none of the Graves opted for Or , another French classic of 2006 Au moins Yannick Noah. Glad to see you are not fully embracing the French music scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave to the Grave 11 Posted March 4, 2007 Glad to see you are not fully embracing the French music scene. What with Johnny Hallyday becoming Belgian, and Renaud moving to London, soon there will be no 'French music scene'. No great loss there then. Some things are better imported, if the source is a good one. Stick to what you are good at . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted March 4, 2007 Glad to see you are not fully embracing the French music scene. What with Johnny Hallyday becoming Belgian... They don't want him - probably because they can't stiff him for tax, which in Belgium is too high. Another one of the many downsides of living here and not home in sunny Hampshire. I swear to God it rains more here and I am nowhere near the sea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Pooka 26 Posted March 4, 2007 Great thread as most of us will come up with a different selection each time we answer (though not many will be French I fancy) My favourite three at the moment (all 2007 songs) are: First Night by The Hold Steady Yankee Bayonet by The Decemberists Phantom Limb by The Shins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted March 4, 2007 I'm really starting to like Grace Kelly by Mika Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadsox 894 Posted March 4, 2007 The Thrill is Gone- BB King Super Freak- Rick James My Humps- Black Eyed Peas (But I also agree with Han that "Celluloid Heroes" by the Kinks is wonderful) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadsox 894 Posted March 4, 2007 As long as we're at it, why not consider three in one, Robert Palmer's "Trilogy" (Sailin' Shoes, Sneakin' Sally through the Alley and Hey Julia) ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Oates 21 Posted March 5, 2007 Here are three that sprang to mind when I saw this thread. Stardust performed by the composer, Hoagy Carmichael. - not the famous and excellent studio version but live at Olympia, presumably many, many years later and still in the same key. Notice the appearance of George Melly's jacket about half way through. It's interesting to note that Charles Trenet also wore the hat! Blame Canada! All the female voices are performed by the late Mary Kay Bergman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted March 5, 2007 In no particular order, Shake Your Hips - Slim Harpo Diana - Comus Green Grow my Nadgers, O! - Ramblin' Sid Rumpo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLC 9 Posted March 5, 2007 Aaaarrrgghhh!!! The thread I've always feared. I once thumbed my nose at the very idea of a 'what's your favourite tune' thread as an argument to show why the DL was better than some awful forums I've visited before... But I'm comfortable enough with my own hypocrisy to join in, of course. This list applies to the precise time of this post only: - 1) Porn Shoes - The French 2) I Took Her Love For Granted - Hefner 3) Summer Breeze - The Isley Brothers The fact that I heard all of these on my mp3 player on the train this morning is at least 95% why I picked those three, if not 96%. On reflection, this isn't the thread I always feared, that was a 'what are you listening to right now?' thread. That little beauty (not on this site I hasten to add) had tens and tens of thousands of posts of people reeling off albums one track at a time for what seemed to be days on end, with the odd reply post of 'Awesome!' or 'That sucks' thrown in for good measure... not that the dullness stopped me looking through tens of pages in disbelief first!

Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted March 5, 2007 America - Razorlight Common People - Pulp Fix You - Coldplay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted March 5, 2007 I don't really have any favourite songs or even artists for that matter. But I guess if I'm going to have to pick some, then... No Hard Shoulder to Cry on - Julian Cope Louisa on a Horse - John Otway. First We Take Manhattan - Leonard Cohen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are tempting fate there - someone will start the thread just to spite you. Probably on a day when you are really pressed for time but yet being a sucker for distractions flick through tens of pages in disbelief before being driven to desperation and becoming the first DLer to cark it.
