5 Things Meme

[redfiona99]

Post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (examples: "5 Sexiest Things About Ron Weasley" or "Top 5 things to drink"). Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Then you post this offer in your own journal (if you want to).

They will all get answered, it just might be eventually rather than quickly.

5 favorite MSP songs?

[redfiona99]

After 3 4 attempts to do this according to the rules, I have given up and cheated. Instead, have my favourite songs from their first 8 albums.

Generation Terrorists - Motorcycle Emptiness, although Natwest, Barclays, Midlands, Lloyds is my other option.
2 - Gold Against the Soul - Roses in the Hospital (La Tristessa Duera is the other option)
3 - Holy Bible - She Is Suffering/This is Yesterday - This caused at least part of the delay. I decided I couldn't choose between them.
4 - Everything Must Go - No Surface All Feeling
5 - This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours - Ready for Drowning
6 - Know Your Enemy - Epicentre (Choosing this was the second hardest because I think that Know Your Enemy is probably the forgotten masterpiece in their discography.)
7 - Lifeblood - 1985
8 - Send Away The Tigers - I Am Just A Patsy

One of the many things I will never forgive my boss in Newcastle for is how far behind I am with music. I think I am going to institute music Saturdays or something to catch up.

haaaaaah it really is pretty unfair to ask a top 5 for a band w/ their discography isn't it?

I def recommend checking out Rewind the Film, Futurology & Resistance is Futile when you get the chance. Know Your Enemy is definitely underappreciated. For me, Lifeblood is probably their weakest. There's tracks off it I like ("The Love of Richard Nixon") but I never really feel like I want to listen to it...

If you want to *try* to do it the official way, I guess there's always top 5 Manics B-Sides, but that's still a challenge...
