Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5

[Silent Majority]

Rockaway Beach
Sheena Is a Punk Rocker
Teenage Lobotomy
Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
I Don't Care

If "It's a Long Way Back to Germany" had been on the record, it would push the bottom two down.

It's on the follow up album. It's a great track though. Was it due to be on Rocket to Russia?

It's on the 2001 Reissue of Rocket to Russia, as a b-side from that time.

Yeah I've got that cd. It was one of the B-sides to "Do You Wanna Dance" with "Cretin Hop". It's a different version to the one on "Road to Ruin" with the shorter title.

Top 5 tracks as recommended by fellow IMCT members. With the new challenge thread, got me thinking, what are 5 top tracks/albums/bands a fellow IMCT-er has introduced to you? If it's a band, or album, choose your favourite from theirs.

I'm going to mark B.A.D as read for me as it would just fill my 5 easily.

No Action - Elvis Costello & The Attractions. From a top 5 suggested by Marky ranking the top tracks from This Year's Model. Fantastic track and great album.

Ghosts of Cable Street - The Men They Couldn't Hang. One of Marky's choices in the challenge thread. Heard it hundreds of times since first play a few weeks back. This ticks all the boxes for me, perfect track.

The Agenda - Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics. Revbob shared this with me, love its chilled groove and excellent vocals.

The Free Electric Band - Albert Hammond. One from Heston. This was one from a seven song shuffle. Such a brilliant song and that chorus never fails to fill me with joy.

I'm Looking Through You - The Beatles. James suggested Rubber Soul to listen to and it's become one of my favourites ever since. A few greats on there to choose from but have to go with this, exceptional.

I'm Looking Through You - The Beatles. James suggested Rubber Soul to listen to and it's become one of my favourites ever since. A few greats on there to choose from but have to go with this, exceptional.

Cable Street has also had lots of airplay from me, what a thumpingly great song it is. Agreed about Free Electric Band, the greatest song the Who never released. Will have to have a think on this one, good question.

Apologies it was you who introduced Free Electric Band to me looking back.

Cool idea Tom. This is gonna require some thinking. I got 3 in mind, gonna try not to give too much cred to Marky because could easily have 5 from him

Ah right, I hadn't realised. I first heard that track on Pick of the Pops about 20 years ago, can't believe it doesn't get more airplay on the classic stations.

1. The Panic Report - Up and Down Hills. Heston - how a man who likes KISS can come up with something this melancholic and awesome God only knows. One of the finest songs I've ever heard.

2. Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics - Medicine Spoon. Revbob - fantastic voice great 70s groove. Blinding!

3.. Etubom Rex Williams & His Nigerian Artistes - Psychedelic Shoes. Heston (Challenge Thread) a huge surprise this one. Just creates its own groove.

4. The New Humans - What If You're Wrong?. Some Bloke
How fucking good is this? If this had been released in the mid 80s this would've filled the Hacienda.

5. The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound (IMCT) I'll dedicate this to the whole board. Remembering friends like Purple Hayes and others who we've lost along our internet journey.

[Olaf]

Don't remember any particular songs, but the following artists/albums were all recommended to me here, and fairly recently, too (with the exception of Throw Rag).

Throw Rag - Desert Shores (tepista)
Danzig Sings Elvis (Flex and revbob)
The Graduate - Acting My Age (Heston)
Fred Neil - Bleecker and McDougal (Marky)
Bruuuuce - Western Stars (Silent Maj)

[Olaf]

I'm also looking forward to checking out the new James Dean Bradfield album that WWK recommended in the other thread.

[revbob]

The Tissues - Veil - Doc mentioned this at some point. Noisy with urgent female vocals, reminds me a bit S&tB

The Equals - Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys...The Anthology
Marky
Great songs


Kitty Daisy and Lewis - not sure who it was. The album Smoking in Heaven is great, as arw the others.

The Panic Report - Down with the King. Heston that shameless self promoter took a page from the Gene Simmons playbook. I had to draw the line on the action figures, they all looked the same, but the dental dam that came with the CD was a nice touch but not sure Gene would approve. Good to know you can stand on your own.

[Olaf]

I'd probably buy a Heston action figure.

[Heston]

The Beat Farmers - God Is Here Tonight (Kaleb) - This was in the Desert Island Discs thread
Tanlines - All of Me (Matedog) - One of Matey's "Tasty Cuts"
Against Me! - Unconditional Love (Flex) - Women's Album poll
The Interrupters - Gave You Everything (Rev) - General recommendation of the band
The Fortunes - Storm In a Teacup (Inder) - YouTube Magnificence thread

Could probably do another 5, will have a think.
