That's kind of a random comment, considering Squeeze isn't even on the tower right now. It would also make you an oddity among Elvis fans to not like Squeeze, but that's your decision to make (and keep private).

J Monk, I can't resist putting in another FP tune since they don't get (and never have got) more credit -- an absolute corker. Soren Nielsen would be hailed a legend if he wasn't so overweight and could handle more touring. Luckily I saw them in a Melbourne club in '97. Yep, blew the roof off the joint.

[quote="El Vez"]Cos - I thought Montgomery Gentry and Shania Twain were the king & queen!

Ha, that's funny!! I actually have a Montgomery Gentry autographed guitar. A Sony rep gave it to me when I worked at the record store...... one of the perks for positioning the Sony product where they want it and playing their cds in the store. I've tried hard to rub that MG autograph off, but it's in perm marker.

Sorry Mike, feel free to remove FP and put in another song.

Jackson Monk · Post by **Jackson Monk** » Sun May 16, 2004 1:43 am

BBN

Great choice. I hated 'All the way to Arnhem' when it was first released, but gradually got into it. 'Remember When I was Nothing' brought the house down at Basingstoke last year.

Have you managed to get anything from their Electronic years. Never appealed to me much. Bit too Kraftwerk for my liking.

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Sun May 16, 2004 5:06 am

I wonder if Fopp have got any cheapie FPs on the go. Maybe BBN or JM could give us a listing of their personal top 5s.

Saw a lovely bit of a Prince solo acoustic concert yesterday, recorded recently, I think. Just him looking cool with a lovely purple acoustic. Great opportunity to see what a master of the guitar he is. He did a snippet of the song below, sadly only a snippet, it was divine.
