Post by tepista »

Let's say we'll keep at releases with 4 to 6 songs?

Pretenders - Extended Play
"Message of Love"
"Talk of the Town"
"Porcelain"
"Cuban Slide"
"Precious" – (Live in Central Park, 30 August 1980)

Oingo Boingo
"Only a Lad"
"Violent Love"
"Ain't This the Life"
"I'm So Bad"

Billy Idol - Don't Stop
"Mony Mony"
Baby Talk"
"Untouchables"
"Dancing with Myself"

Wall of Voodoo
"Longarm"
"The Passenger"
"Can't Make Love"
"Struggle"
"Ring of Fire"
"Granma's House"

I woulda though that WoV ep had "Back in Flesh" on it, the memory :/

Nine Inch Nails "Broken" is a good one.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
