You have included "Say it ain't so, Joe" by Murray Head. If you pay attention to your previous
minxy comments, i think you'll find they bear this out.
Anyway, i feel i should now offer myself to you, naked on a silver platter, decorated with strawberries and chocolate, just for liking that song. No one i know has ever heard of it; i could cry.
Oh and "Teardrop" by Massive Attack? the most hauntingly beautiful song in the world...
No naked offerings from me, but MAN, what an incredible list! And "White Punks On Dope!" I have not heard that in eons!! Love it! Great list, londo!!
difficult to pick a favourite as they are all good BUT either Emmylou's 'Wrecking Ball' or Massive Attacks 'Teardrop' gets my vote!!
