The 'Recommend Three Songs' Thread

[TJ]

Exactly as it says in the title. Recommend three songs each, preferably the obscurer the better, that you think the other posters ought to hear if they haven't heard already. Oh, and no repeating any that have already been mentioned, obviously.


I'll go first then...


Barry Andrews 'Rossmore Road'
White Noise 'My Game Of Loving'
The Monkees 'Take A Giant Step'

[smoker]

deadly avenger - we took pelham
thomas bangalter - together
rancid - ruby soho

[MonkeyDrummer]

Junior Delgado - Blackman's Heart (on Augustus Pablo's Classic Rockers)
Ballboy - I Hate Scotland
Teenage Fanclub - Alcoholiday

[9]

The high-back chairs - Summer.    (Unstopably cool early 90s power pop with soul.) EDIT: RIGHT CLICK DOWNLOAD HERE  Apologies for the low bitrate. I'm a dial-up peasant.

Fidelity Jones - Destructor    (Franz Ferdinand wish they could make you dance as much as this song does.)

Mclusky - There ain't no fool in Ferguson.  (Albini-produced gem that will make you jump around like a twat.)

[A Passing Turk Slipper]

Right:
Rancid - Brad Logan (smoker did ruby soho but that is my second favourite rancid song to this one.)
The Specials - The Skinhead Symphony in three Movements
Camper Van Beethoven - Take the Skinheads Bowling (it's better than all the covers)

[The Region Legion]

Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes
David Sylvian - Fire In The Forest
Splattercell - Chysanthumum Bang

[fbb bastard]

sparks "get in the swing"

ben folds " carrying cathy"

jellyfish " russian hill"

[Rovis Teffyd]

Gong - A Wingful Of Eyes

King Crimson - 'Starless' (or 'Islands')

Roland Kirk - 'From Bechet, Byas and Fats'

[Kawaii Five-O]

eX-Girl - Pretty U Ugly (mp3 available here)

Erm.

The Immortal Lee County Killers - Big Damn Roach

The Come-Ons - Red Lips and Fingertips (Edit: I think TraceyQ might like this one, from what I've read of her tastes. If she hasn't already heard it.)

[tetoffender]

Try these:

The Olivia Tremor Control - Holiday Surprise 1, 2, 3. (from the excellent and recently re-released "Dusk at Cubist Castle")

Severed Heads - Dead Eyes Opened (nice post-Kraftwerk early-80s electro)

The Creepers - Baby's On Fire (Marc Riley's post-Fall band cover Brian Eno to storming effect.)

Now for a go at the other suggestions.

[weekender]

I'm confused, if people have got 'obscure' tracks, why not upload them into a kind of 'Song Of The Day' thread?  Maybe someone should start one, even though it was Tracey's idea in the first place.
