[New Binky the Doormat]

For Binky:

20.Binky Mott the Hoople - Roll Away the Stone

really?

outta that goldmine of a catalog, we get that, Binky?

look, i dig the tune - but ... hoooo boyo.

Well..it's possible that's not the song he chose. His list had "Mott the Hoople - Roll Away the Sun" on it. I figured it was Roll Away the Stone, but it could be "Ride on the Sun." Not sure if you think that's better. He can always change it when he gets back.

nah ... just poking some fun - i get laying off of "Dudes" and "Memphis" and "Sweet Jane", etc ... good pick because they deserve to be on the docket somewhere - but there are really no shortage of deep cuts with them, going waaayyy back.

you prefere Honaloochie Boogie or Crash Street Kids?

Hey buddy, you back? I was just about to make a pick for you in the "R" category.

interesting lineage for this horse that just went in the 10th race at Monmouth

had zero balls, tho, in every sense - finished last.

much like Nessie, himself

 

[krista4]

I’m going for it, since Binks has told me he might be able to pop in but not to make picks.

21.Binky. Todd Rundgren - Sometimes I Don’t Know What to Feel

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

Round 18:

The Police -- When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around

They're still available? Did we burn out on them in the worldwide countdown?

Used: A, B, E, F, H, I, J, K, M, O, P, Q, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

I took Petty early on and was hoping someone would steal and then I would have gone here.

I do have a question ...isn't there

Tom Petty

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

...right?

Tom Petty

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

...right?

Yep. Different artists.
Like Queen and Queen and David Bowie.
Or Elvis Costello or Elvis Costello and the Attractions or Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach.

Has to be a clear case of one with the Heartbreakers and one without.

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Intended to be a throwaway B Side, with more than a wink and a nod to Telstar, the record execs quickly threw away the intended A Side, flipped it and it became one of their biggest hits

19. - Saint Etienne - You’re In a Bad Way

Still need Q, U, V, W, X, Y and Z

 

[tuffnutt]

RD 21 Dire Straits- Sultans of Swing

Used: A,B,C,D,E,F,I,J,K,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,Y,Z

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

I was going to pick something off Quartet, but the George Martin production is quite bombastic. Maybe a lesser known number off Vienna or Rage in Eden, nope lets go with a deep cut off Lament

20. Ultravox - Man of Two Worlds featuring Gaelic vocals by Mae McKenna

Still need Q, V, W, X, Y and Z

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

21.17 Pip’s Invitation UP x 2

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Another Midge song. I guess Billy Currie too. This time with assists from Steve Strange, Rusty Egan and Dave Formula. A good chunk of supergroup the Rich Kids lol

21. Visage - The Damned Don’t Cry

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

This chinese artist was covered in the world 31 with a rendition of My C song Dreams by the Cranberries.
A much bigger collaboration occurred with the Cocteau Twins. Wong idolised Elizabeth Frasers magnificent voice and does a good job of it herself. I think there are 11 collaborations, covers etc between the 2 artists
This one is a cover. Shes really pretty too.

22 Faye Wong - Know oneself and Each Other

Still to come Q, X, Y and Z

If she an F or a W? I was waiting for an Asian artist to come up because I don't know how that works exactly.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Round 21:

Doves -- Catch the Sun

A new-to-me favorite from the British Isles countdown.

Round 22:

Love -- Flying

Deep track from Arthur Lee and co.

Clearly W for last name of Wong. First name, last name is fairly standard.
There are some cultures where the last name is somewhere else. If someine wants to pick we will cover it. W for Wong clearly

I really don't care- wasn't sure if Hong Kong is a culture that reverses the name. I don't even think it's her real name anyway.

No its Xia Lin, but just like half of the acting and singing world she adopted a stage name

What I think of when I hear this group.

 

[rockaction]

There is one band begging me to test the blank "and the" blanks first/last name thing, but it might be a spoiler (though I doubt that anybody would ever pick this act here) so it sits in my brain, festering without resolution.

I have said it before, but Dawn Patrol is one of my favorite records of all. I think it's better than Midnight Madness, which had a couple of hits. Every tune on Dawn Patrol is for me. Love the beginning of Don't Tell Me, great pick

I know most dont agree, but IMO
