Mick's a Hippie Burning probably should never have been IN.

Was never that keen on James Brown.

I like it, but the Green Lady.

It'll probably get voted out this round, so I'll say here that I love that Clash fans worked out that it was probably a song of an old print in Mick's nan's council flat based on a London Calling photo shoot. Turns it into a song about wanting to escape the material surroundings your stuck in for the exotic that seems out of reach.

James Brown. Its repetitive tune gets close to irritating.

Going with The Green Lady.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Surprised at Green Lady getting the heave ho, think it's one of the best on the album. Love the Pretty Things sample too.

Big fan of TGL. Was always a highlight for me when they played it live

Always thought James Brown and The Green Lady were the two best on this side, so... this is awkward.

Tapping out for a while. I would just be picking songs st random because I have learned that this album really doesn’t do it for me outside of a very small number of songs.

Am I the only one who prefers the start of ENaH? When I first heard it I thought it went into a different song (which it does in a way) but really like the tune and beat, very jolly.

I wouldn't say I prefer it but I do like that Toots and the Maytals type part a lot (54-46 Was My Number?)
