If I stop and thing for 30 minutes, it will keep changing.

OK. I've reached the same conclusion as you. As of 16:55, my choices are:

Emma's House - The Field Mice
Destroy The Heart - House of Love
Good Life - Inner City
Purple Rain - Prince & The Revolution
Therese - The Bodines

Was this meant to be UK singles only?

Therese was the very last track I listened to, as it goes. On the NME C86 thing, at lunchtime.

(Just prefer 'Heard it all' if the truth be told)


I've changed my mind. It Happens, by Primal Scream needs to be in there. LWTUA misses out.

Yeah, I've changed my mind now too. Probably best not to think about it again.

Another vote for:
House of Love - Destroy the Heart

Also, without giving it too much thought...

Wild Swans - Revolutionary Spirit
The Three Johns - Death of the European
The Wedding Present - This Boy Can Wait
The Teardrop Explodes - Reward
The Mighty Wah! - Come Back

And yes, I know that's 6.

Oh, and The Foetus All-Nude Revue - Bedrock

And yes, I know that's 7.

What a great song Therese is. Quite a mix you have there Tiny. Going to take me ages to work out mine. Something to do whilst watching the football later I think.
