I had "This Road I'm Travelling" on my list, but I dumped it in favour of Belle and Sebastian...


belle & sebastian are great. smile did you catch their glastonbury performance?



Unfortunately I'm stuck in my lousy little backwater Canadian town so Glastonbury's a little inaccessible for me. I'm seriously considering planning my vacation time next year around the British festival season...

I'm gonna take Prince out of the equation, since that could take forever to narrow down and make the list incredibly long biggrin Impossible to keep to ten, but I'll try to get as close to that as I can :

Balloon - Imperial Teen
Ready or Not (Can't Hide from Love) - The Delfonics
Papillon (aka Hot Butterfly) - Chaka Khan
I'll Fly Away - Jim Reeves (reminds me of my grampy)
Hurt Me, Hurt Me (But the Pants Stay On) - Samantha Fox (because everyone needs some cheese in their diet)
Weekend in New Englad - Barry Manilow
Cruel Summer - Bananarama
Lucky Star - Madonna
A Song for You - Donny Hathaway
Love to Love You Baby - Donna Summer
Outstanding - Gap Band (somebody else mentioned this one, and I commend them! lol )
Troy - Sinead O'Connor
Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
Come on in My Kitchen - Robert Johnson
Jolene - Dolly Parton
La Di Da Di - Doug E Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew
Roxanne Roxanne - UTFO
Brown Eyed Girl - Isley Brothers
Live It Up - Isley Brothers
Devotion - EW&F
Serpentire Fire - EW&F
