I don't know if anyone agrees, but I have just had another listen to The Divine Comedy's excellent Bang Goes the Knighthood, and the track "Napoleon Complex" IS the great lost Bowie song! It would fit in nicely just after Scary Monsters, if you ask me.
Anyhoo, this got me to thinking, any other examples of artists releasing great songs that would easily slip into the canon of another artist. Oasis are an obvious example, but I'm looking for specific tracks, where you go "hey, didn't Roger Mcguinn write that?" Yes, Tom Petty, I'm talking to you.

May I start with The Scissor Sisters "The Other Side", which is the great lost Roxy Music single, complete with Andy Mackayesque sax solo at the end.

The Sun journalist who wrote this (http://bit.ly/l200fy), just must be a member of the massive!

Has retired, apparently.

I always quite liked him, with both Genesis, and solo, though I know he comes in for a lot of stick.

What think ye, Massive?

I've just discovered this gents new single. It's really great. I had heard of him years ago, but much to my shame, I had never investigated.
Where should I start?
Am I in for a treat, or what?

It takes a lot to say this, but "Boxer" by The National has just usurped "Station to Station" as my favourite album of all time. 26 years it has taken, but this album is the real deal.

Happy New Year all! I haven't been on here so much recently, but still keep checking back in every now and again.

Take care, and lots of love from me and the rest of the water starved masses in Belfast!

That is all. I hope all of you have a great day.
Eat too much, and drink enough!!!

Cheers

Thank you to Gargarin (of this parish, and the twitterverse) for recommending Boxer by The National. Jesus, it's is incredible. Why was this music kept from me for so long?

A simple premise. Tell us the one kids TV show that really floated your boat. The one you ran home from school excited about watching. The one that you cried abuut missing, the day your TV broke.
The one that still gives that warm feeling in the pit of your stomach when you think about it.
I know the magazine looked at this in the best and worst a few months back, but I can't remember any great discussion thereon.

I'll start.

Mr Benn.

Genius, and looking back, just a little unsettling.

I have just purchased Nick Drakes Pink Moon. I know I'm late to this party, but, by God, it's brilliant.

Ted Baker? Eterna? Marksies? Primark?
I love a good shirt, me.

What do the fashionistas of the Word website recommend?

Prompted by this:

I hereby invite you lot to give us a title for your Autobiography, if or when you decide to write one.

I'll start: "Iain: Portrait of a Cereal Eater".

NEXT!!!!!

If you had to choose one movie as your all time favourite, what would it be.

Just one.

I'll go first.

Memento.

Next.

Help. How do I include a link to a webpage in a tweet. Something to do with http/ biturl or somesuch.
Can anyone tell me?

Yes, I know it's tired, and that Nick Hornby has done it, but I love a thread like this.
What's the best opener ever?

For me it's "It's No Game (Part 1)", though I reckon "Politik" by Coldplay is up there also.

Over to you....
