hmmm. top five spiritualized songs, or the first five I thought of today:

1. I want you.
2. Good Times - single version.
3. Going down slow
4. 200 bars.
5. why don't you smile now.

top five Spacemen 3 songs. Again, random order and a pretty random selection.

1. feel so good.
2. transparent radiation
3. take me to the other side.
4. hypnotise
5. walking with jesus.

-Suicide
-Walkin' With Jesus
-Lord Can You Hear Me, particularly the latter half and the latter half's saxophone

Spiritualized:
-Cop Shoot Cop
-Shine a Light

The trouble with choosing favorites from the Spacemen 3 catalogue is that, since their output isn't actually all that prodigious, with only three proper LPs (I don't count Recurring, primarily because I don't like it) there's not enough to sustain a list of, say, ten, without including a couple of also-rans in the lower positions. (Any group's 'best-of' list should ideally be as long as one of their albums, right?) On the other hand, anyone's list of five would be disfigured by the perenially obvious choices ("Take Me To the Other Side", "Walking With Jesus", "Lord Can You Hear Me", though one may bicker over versions) with room enough for only two personal choices (mine would be "Come Down Softly to My Soul" - kudos Lux - and "Amen", I guess).

With Spiritualized, it's easier, as there is more product and the product in question is longer, although I for one can't represent all five albums since at least one of them (let's agree) is bilge.

1. Lay Back In the Sun (LP version)
2. Shine a Light (Royal Albert Hall - indeed, Geoff)
3. The Slide Song
4. The Twelve Steps
5. I Want You (LP version)

If I had to choose a favorite from Amazing Grace it would be The Ballad of Richie Lee and might turn up in the lower reaches of a top ten.

That's utterly impossible, no way I could narrow down either to three. Without even thinking about it I'd say:
Sp3:
Rollercoaster (SOC version)
Take Me To The Other Side
Feelin' Just Fine (any one of a number of Jason slow song could replace this - Let Me Down..., So Hot, Billy Whizz etc)

Spz:
LAGWAFIS
Shine A Light
Don't Just Do Something

To neglect Pure Phase though is criminal.

Geoff, have you got the Glasto 92 version of Shine A Light? That is absolutely monumental too, sounds like a concorde taking off during the middle noise part...

jacksmiley · Post by **jacksmiley** » Mon May 23, 2005 4:54 am

shit...well, at the moment:

s3:

revolution (12" or live ver. from a rough trade sampler)
when tomorrow hits
an evening of contemporary sitar music
transparent radiation (12" ver.)
just to see you smile (instrumental)

sp:

medication
lay back in the sun
come together (two lone swordsmen remix)
broken heart
ladies and gentlemen...

A double NME/Greenpeace compilation CD called In a Field Of Their Own. Its really good. I was lucky enough to have been there too and it captures the intensity very well.
