Your band's top 5 songs

What are your favorite top 5 songs of the band?

Mine are:

1. Come back Margaret
2. James
3. Tears for affairs
4. Suspended from class
5. Dory Previn

It seems that in this tour they don't play the latest 2 songs...anyway 3/5 it's not bad

always tricky,luca...right now...

1.careless love
2.james
3.park and ride
4.country mile
5.books written for girls

this is always hard to do since you get partial to a particular album and the newest release - so tough to pick only 5 but I'd hafta say:
1. Teenager
2. James
3. Away with Murder
4. If Looks Could Kill
5. World is Full of Strangers

At the moment...

1. Honey In The Sun
2. Let's Get Out Of This Country
3. Number One Son
4. Suspended From Class
5. Tears For Affairs

....liable to change by tomorrow

definitely a little more partial to the new album these days.... today... if I had to pick a top 5.. hmmm:

1. The Last Song
2. Away With Murder
3. If Looks Could Kill
4. Honey In the Sun
5. Knee Deep at the NPL

favorite cover: Modern Girl

Top all-time 5 songs of all-time in chronological order:

- Suspended from class
- Teenager
- Books written for girls
- Knee deep at the NPL
- Lunar sea
- Lloyd I'm ready to be heartbroken
- Tears for affairs
- Dory Previn
- Let's get out of this country
- If looks could kill
- Razzle dazzle Rose
- French Navy
- Swans
- James
- My maudlin career
- Honey in the sun

Oops that's just some of my favourite songs, not to mention all the other great songs I like. I have failed the test.

1. I Don't Do Crowds
2. Before You Cry
3. I Don't Want To See You
4. Keep It Clean
5. Let Me Go Home

Got nothing against the latter two albums, I love them dearly in fact. But I like the first two, especially the remastered Underachievers, best....at the moment. :)


Oh! And welcome to the club, Dr K

1. You told a Lie
2. Careless Love
3. Forests & Sands
4. Lets Get out of this Country
5. Tears for Affairs

...of course it changes daily

5. James

When and if I grow temporarily tired of this album, I'll come back here and update.
