Ain't that a good song to sleep to, Ian?

The Eurythmics rock!

Thanks for hooking me up with this!

Never heard that song, though. You have referenced so many Eurythmics songs I've never even heard of and I have about all their discs.

I'm jamming to "I Could Give You a Mirror" right now.

Ooh, one of my favest songs by them! I have referenced so many b-sides cuz this wonderful person hooked me up with so many of the b-sides which are so wonderful I can't stop playing them...

Wow.

Today SO sucks.

Let's Just Close our Eyes is great. i love the early Eurythmics b-sides. Monkey Monkey is my favorite.

Monkey Monkey was my instant fave too, together with the title song of this thread and Invisible Hands!

Supposedly the "Sweet Dreams" album was originally called "Invisible Hands", and that was going to be a single. I don't remember where I read that, but I'm sure I read it somewhere.

Do you have Charlie Cat? That's another of my faves (although not strictly a Eurythmics b-side). And Home is Where the Heart is... and Satellite of Love!!! so many good ones.

their later b-sides are great, too.. rich girl.. see no evil... precious... all great tracks.

I do not have the later ones, yet...hehehe

I also have Charlie Cat. That was for that German guy, right? I like it, but not love it, like the other ones.

And one of the Sweet Surprise songs I love too; I think the second.

I gotta go to work now!

It's a great alternate version of "The Walk". The Dream Mix of "I Could Give You A Mirror" is awesome too.

Oh and btw, the only reason Ian's got these tracks is cuz of...

HamsterHuey said:

That's an awesome pic. I've watched her "Central Park" concert dvd about 5 times this week. I'm really on an Annie Lennox fixation.

Annie has some nice solo b-sides too. Step by Step, which Whitney covered... Heaven, i'm always touched by your presence dear, mama... nice, but nothing compared to the Eurythmics b-sides.


Grown up Girls is great too!!!

JonSnow said:

Dream Angus is my shit. That song makes me cry every time.

JonSnow said:

Annie recorded "Step by Step?" I thought she just sang the background vocals for Houston's version. I mean, it's definitely her in the background.

Xagain said:

yep, she recorded it for the Diva album. It was a bonus track on the Japanese release.

Xagain said:

I love the "No More I Love You's" b-side, a cover of Joni Mitchell's "Ladies of the Canyon."

GangstaFam said:

did you see her performance of Why on Live 8????? OMG> Talk about tears. I was bawling my eyes out.

JonSnow said:

I'm watching it right now.

The version on the Peace Tour dvd is my favorite, me thinks.

Xagain said:

i love that DVD. I plugged my DVD player into my CD burner and made a 2-disc audio set of it. 17 Again is one of their best songs - - completely underrated.

JonSnow said:

I hadn't watched this Live 8 performance. Absolutely incredible. I'm really digging "Little Bird" right now.

I NEED an audio of those Peace Tour and Central Park dvds.

Xagain said:

I still haven't seen that.

JonSnow said:

Make sure you get "Love Song to a Vampire" too if you don't already have it. Stunning.

I'm watching the AOL sessions now. "Cold."

GangstaFam said:

you really should... i don't think i have ever been that moved before by watching a live performance. it was really amazing.

JonSnow said:

Did you watch it on AOL? Do they still have clips? I couldn't believe MTV didn't play it.

GangstaFam said:

Yeah, I had liked her before that song, but that was the one that made me want to hear every song she'd ever done. I wish I had the video for that one. And "Little Bird," which is conspicuously absent from the "Diva" video connection.

Xagain said:

There was a TV special for that album and I remember that it was put together as sort of a mini movie. It included videos for I think almost all the songs from that album. I had it taped but a good friend snagged it from me. I've never been able to track it down since.

GangstaFam said:

yeah, i saw it on AOL. i'm not sure if they still have clips or not. i tink they are releasing a DVD of Live 8 at some point, hopefully she will be on it.

JonSnow said:

From every report I've heard, she completely stole the show.
