Incidental fact: This is a scary list. There are ghosts, devils, things of science fiction, and even androids. Oh god, how great is the Peaches video?? Incidentally, there are no Garbage songs from their 4th album, which is a pity - I really love "Bleed Like Me", and it was only voted for twice. Oh by the way - how wonderful is Patti Smith?
You're going too fast!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour Ghost...what a fanstastic song, and sadly forgotten (by me at least) song. Thanks for reminding me how much I love it!
ReplyDeletePatti is so wonderful! I've seen her live twice, including her recent tour, and her rendition of Gloria that night was one of the most electrifying live performances I've ever experienced. I think it's one of the few covers that's actually better than the original. I mean she pretty much rewrote the thing. I'm surprised it isn't higher up actually.
ReplyDeleteI love Science Fiction by Divinyls as well. The perfect pop/rock love song. I've seen them live many times. Chrissie has so much charisma and was great live. I voted for Devil Gate Drive by Suzie Quatro as well. My mum used to play that one relentlessly!
Hooray - one I voted for is in! (Tori Amos' "Winter", if you're wondering.) "Queer" brings back great memories - my first play in Melbourne had a night club scene set to that song. And I'm picking up some great new tunes to check out!
