"Steps... Sing the Blues" (suggested by Stu Bell) "Slayer- Broadway in the Abyss: Following in the succes of Robbie's compilation of Sinatra covers, Slayer release this offering of musical show-stoppers. The bonus disc features a few special versions of old their old tunes, including a brass instrumental version of Angel of Death and a duet with Nicole Kidman." (Ryan Foley) "Cort - In A Daydream... The Greatest Hits of The Cortinas" (Kevin Hultum) "Smashed - a compilation album of the singles that finally took the big names down. Flop singles from Simple Minds, Level 42, Simply Red, Nik Kershaw, Howard Jones, Big Country... There's a lot of material to choose from but would anyone buy it ?" (John Lee) "50 Opera Classics With Scatman John And The London Philharmonic" (Rob Doran) "Now That's What I Call Over-Rated - featuring Radiohead, The Strokes, Starsailor, Travis, Coldplay and many more." (Mark Caygill) "Now That's What I Call My Solo Career - a compilation of people who left successful bands for a solo career, featuring Andrew Ridgley, Mark Owen, Stephen Gately, Andy Taylor, John Taylor, Peter Tork, Crispian Mills, Sarah Cracknell and Mick Jagger." (Ali Bell) "Half-Decent Songs of the 90s by Prince" (Chris Thornton) "Blame Pearl Jam: The History Of Average American Rock" (Tim Holmes) "Clare Grogan presents A Tribute To The Brightest, Bubbliest, Most Colourful Decade - The 80's - by the greyest, most maudlin, complain-rock artists of the day. Featuring I Could Be Happy by Coldplay, John Wayne Is Big Leggy by Embrace, Shaddap You Face by Starsailor, The Land Of Make Believe by Toploader, Karma Chameleon by Muse, 99 Red Balloons by Travis, Club Tropicana by Radiohead, Never Gonna Give You Up by David Gray, Goody Two Shoes by Badly Drawn Boy, Too Shy by Stereophonics and This Ole House by The Dave Matthews Band" (Ali Bell, oh if only this were true) But the one that made me chuckle the most was Tim Hooper's proposal for an album called "Let's Pillage Steve Hillage! - From Gong to System 7". ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2001 15:44:05 +0100 From: cgonzalezruiz Subject: OV: Re: oppositeview-digest V3 #308 I personally think he did it on purpose, that he was trying to stir up the pot.

Is there another Del Amitri song that has a fair amount of "oo" in it??? I'm using Move Away Jimmy Blue as an example....that vowel is really frequent with the rhyme. Drunk mother was the CUE, for the legendary things that you DO... Another song would really help me out for some more analysis.... If my brain wasn't fried from other things right now, I'm sure I could figure this out on my own, but it's the last week of class, and remembering how to read my watch is becoming a challenge...

Right up my street. For those of you on the list who have not heard of them, think Travis, Coldplay, (Early) Muse etc. The latest Starsailor single 'Alcoholic' is great as well.
