<br>So, Peter...seeing that you're such an enlightened gent, what recommendations (music-wise) would you give us?
[/quote]

My current favorite songs by my top twenty bands.

Roxy Music--"Mother of Pearl"
David Bowie--"Red Sails"
Devo--"Don't You Know"
Helium--"Pat's Trick"
The Beatles--"Baby You're a Rich Man"
Fear--"The Mouth Don't Stop"
Magazine--"Sweetheart Contract"
X--"I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts"
Goldfrapp--"Crystalline Green"
Kraftwerk--"Nummern" (I always thought the german versions sounded more natural than the english ones.)
The Gang Of Four--"I Found That Essence Rare"
Wire--"Our Swimmer" (Pretty much their last gasp--but what a gasp!)
Garbage--"Silence Is Golden"
The Smiths--"The Headmaster Ritual"
Cocteau Twins--"Sultitan Itan"
Tears For Fears--"Advice For the Young At Heart" (The perfect crystallisation of the TFF sound, in my opinion.)
Gary Numan--"War Songs"
Echo & the Bunnymen--"Angels and Devils"
The B-52s--"Lava"
The Fall--"Eat Y'Self Fitter" (I already mocked the Fall in an earlier thread, explaining their absence on the master list)

Ditto on the Deutch versions of Kraftwerks songs...they sound so much better overall in their natural tongue (with the possible exception of "Neon Lights").

[i]You come from a country that produced Men Without Hats, the Crash Test Dummies, Red Rider and Bryan Adams. Compared to that, stool like Glass Tiger is equivalent to Led Zeppelin. So of course you're not embarrassed.[/i]

I'm not embarassed because I don't need to be. You on the other hand ...


[i]Wow, did Dudley Do-Right kick you in the nuts or something?[/i]

No, it's probably because I insulted acid-wash jeans, which he still thinks is high fashion.

What, did you go to the music store and throw darts and buy whatever they stuck in?

I guess my own list would be just as disjointed and non-sequitur.

Holy crap, Peter's list is a bastion of sanity compared to mine. I go from everywhere from new wave to jazz to disco to reggae to classical to soft rock to country to metal to prog-rock to electro-funk to psychedelic to R&B to big band to electronic to house to salsa to polka (yes, polka), and everything in-be-F-N-tween.

You're right. I like to drive around town in my camaro wearing an alligator shirt, acid wash jeans, wraparound sunglasses, and a sweater tied over my shoulder.

Because I can.

[quote]Sure. I can take it; I'll even save you the trouble of making fun of them.[/quote] Thanks!

Nice list BTW. The only artists you listed that I really can't stand is Gary Numan and the B-52's.

Lol, eight6 between this and the Dudley-Do right comment, you're killing me.

BTW, why do all my threads wind up being about Canada?

Because any excuse is a good one to razz our pasty, melanin challenged neighbors to the North.

We make fun of them to distance ourselves from our own past mistakes. We realize now how uncool we used to be, yet how utterly unaware of it we were.

Kind of like how they are now. Trying desperately hard to be trendy, cutting edge and culturally significant but oblivious to the fact that they're not.

And that's just funny.
