Top five 45s released by the Rough Trade Label. 5) The Raincoats ... Fairytale In A Supermarket http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZJt56z5Ywc 4) Subway Sect ... Ambition http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yz5jvR9_Jo 3) The Fall ... How I Wrote Elastic Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7mp9elK49I 2) Cabaret Voltaire ... Nag Nag Nag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJbD6BP2uoA 1) Die Electric Eels ... Agitated http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUBgh4nanIE There a full, eight page, 1977 to 2013 Rough Trade 45s discography (apart form Aerosol Burns by Essential Logic, a Cells Records / Rough Trade co release, which seems to be missing; there may be others, but it's the only one I've noticed) here: http://www.45cat.com/label/rough-trade Loads of great 45s that didn't fit into my top 5. At least thirty true classics in their first four years. Plenty of room for debate too, with no doubt some of you favouring the Smiths era and some maybe even going for the much later years. |

That's too hard. I could do a top 100. To mix up the eras a bit I've picked 5 that would be in that 100. Ivor Cutler - Women Of The World http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irKLzbOzUFU Campervan Beethoven - Take The Skinhead's Bowling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDB9oCgVHGw The Motorcycle Boy - Big Rock Candy Mountain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfSg9QJvQXM The Delays - Long Time Coming http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfSg9QJvQXM Mull Historical Society - Animal Cannabus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjE8eVlCp3M But honestly, this is simply too difficult. A good fifty of those are my favourite song ever. |

Oh and you mentioned people going for different years. The late 70s stuff I know but not well enough. I know the bands but would need to listen to the song to recognise it. I'd probably know about half. Could EASILY have just done 80s, although I've never been a big Smiths fan, I do like them. But could pick 80s ones I prefer. They had a big resurgence in the 00s. Could do a top 20 from that period without even thinking about it. |
