I also enjoyed "Weil Weil Weil" by Einstürzende Neubauten (2007)

Can't believe I just voted for "My Life" and "Forever Autumn". What the hell is happening to me?

[LeeBB]

8) Uncertain Smile - The The (1983)

Bugger! I though my noms were going to make it through with a perfect score...

LB

[blind-fitter]

If it's any consolation, it will probably remain in single figures.

Kevin likes The The, though. If he bothers to vote, it might yet make double figures. Good nomination, I thought. A really good track, which I haven't listened to for years. It would normally feature higher in my Ten, but there happens to be a few tracks I "quite like". Not such alot that really does it for me, though; if you know what I mean?
