Vincent Top 10
I Will Follow - U2
Guitar, hairs back of neck and all that. I really hate that new record, especially that twangy bit, how the f**k are you supposed to fill a stadium with a guitar line like that?
3 is the magic number - Bob Dorough
Covered by De la Soul, which is very good but the original makes me smile and there is some good ride cymbal work on the choruses.
Tour de France - Kraftwerk
New Gold Dream - Simple Minds
I think Celtic's arrival on the park should be heralded by a souped up version of this (or themes from great cities). Love the original, play it a lot.

Sweet Harmony - the Beloved
The chorus is aural Valium.
Hunter and the Hunted (live Newcastle) - Simple Minds
It is a 12" B side, Gerry has got it. Could have gone for C'moon cry like a baby because of Mel Gaynor's master sticksmithery but it is the keyboards on this that edge it for me.
Hyperballad - Bjork
Snare drum, brushes, some of the sequencing! Live version better than studio one but just clever.
Lips Like Sugar - Echo and the Bunnymen
Liquor Shack Saturday night bit of an antidote to Ted and the soul which was good but too much of it began to claw.
A Pagan Place - The Waterboys
Being celtic, ethnically, in a song. I could have gone with Glastonbury song or Fisherman's Blues but finally opted for this.

Fascinating Rhythm - Dave Grusin
Drums, drums, drums! Dave Weckl is just as Sir James of Savile would say Mr Boss Daddy Groove.
