PopTodd Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 However many you feel like listing, go for it.

bobfrombob Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I should take the time to make a proper list but it's gotta have Mayor of Simpleton. Just gotta. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Somnambulist Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I should take the time to make a proper list but it's gotta have Mayor of Simpleton. Just gotta. I agree with this. It's pretty much the perfect pop song. Others:SnowmanNo Language in Our LungsTowers of London (live version)Summer's CauldronThe LovingVanishing Girl (Dukes...)Merely A Man Andy Partridge demo (Fuzzy Warbles):Ship Trapped in the IceI Don't Want to Be Here (AIDS Benefit Version) Too many more to mention. Great Band! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Maybe we should do a FAVORITE POPTOD POST. Just kidding...maybe one of these days you'll hit a band I care enough about to come up with a favorite songs list. (XTC is just outside my window...there is a 10 year gap in my music appreciation...from around 1984/85 to the mid 90's. (Actually, the 'grunge' and 'ya'll-ternative' movements got me interested again.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
