    The Killing of Georgie is a fantastic track.

    Since then, not much of any quality to speak of...and there's also the night that I spent on a train from Milan to Nice with a bloke with a huge ghetto blaster...and an endless supply of **** Rod Stewart tapes. It was a long, long night.

    the Rev Al Green v Talking Heads
    I'm a big fan of Talking Heads and the Bass lines of Tina Weymouth but the Rev takes it for me

    It speaks volumes that so many think that Soft Cell recorded the original

    ...and, no, that is not my cue to post the Marilyn Manson version

    She did kill Marc Bolan, so erased from history.

    Soft Cell 3 v 2 Gloria Jones

    It's close but the later version fills dance floors all over the world, even for those who weren't born when it was recorded. For that, it has to win.

    Going back to my roots Odyssey v Richie Havens , Richie has it for me , I was lucky enough to blag a couple of tickets when he played Ronnie Scotts on a late show, when it finished he came to the front of the stage and sat down chatting with the audience for 45 mins he was such a humble and charming man answering all the questions about his set at Woodstock etc
