Well, then I suppose we should include Bob Dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' as well. Oh and there's also that song called 'Superstar' (I think) by Nilon Bombers. But that's a bit rubbish. And probably loads of others that I could mention if I bothered to go upstairs and check. I know he's been mentioned many times before, but I bought a Nick Drake cd with the pittance I got of Echo for selling them my old rubbish cds and it is ace. Especially 'Hazy Jane II' which is very B&S. I don't usually notice comparisons between bands, but this is great. You should all go and get it now, cos I say so. Also, can anyone recommend any good music biogs? I'm hooked on them at the moment for some reason and am currently reading one on the wonderful Patti Smith but am nearly finished and would like to know what else is good. Thanks! I wonder who'll be the first to write a B&S biography... most bands nowadays seem to have a crappy 40 page book out after their first album, but then they seem to have far more press photographs to fill out the gaps where the author can't think of anything to write... love, Debbie "We are all the same, everybody is the same, only it is the prerogative of youth to believe that this is not so." ----------

Ooh yes, I forgot that one! and maybe that "Hey, Matthew" song from 84-ish -- with lists of TV shows ("Dallas, Dynasty, Terrorhawkes, He Man, Dukes of Hazard, The A Team" -- spot who's sad enough to *still* remember (or almost-remember) these things..) and lists of occupations that "Matthew" wants to have.
