There's probably a few missing from this list which I nicked from Wikipedia, but my favourite's on it, so sod off.

i chose caesar's pleasure.

but my real answer is a couple of 7"s - every little thing by thee headcoats and i'm happy by the headcoatees. both being utterly killer, the latter being pretty much the pinnacle of screaming female-fronted garage trash.

Which one has "ease..... my troubled mind" ?

Mark G, Thursday, 26 April 2007 14:35 (eighteen years ago)

Most recently it's on Steady The Buffs by the Buff Medways, can't remember where it first appeared.

Colonel Poo, Thursday, 26 April 2007 14:57 (eighteen years ago)

That'll do me then!

Mark G, Thursday, 26 April 2007 15:09 (eighteen years ago)

This is totally impossible

Mr. Que, Thursday, 26 April 2007 15:10 (eighteen years ago)

my favorite song is "I Was Lead to Believe"

Mr. Que, Thursday, 26 April 2007 15:11 (eighteen years ago)

My sentimental favorite is The Original Chatham Jack. Billy seems to be enjoying himself and there is a great vibe all around.

But I could pick a couple of Headcoats albums, a Caesar or two, a Milkshakes, a Medways - so tough to choose.

EZ Snappin, Thursday, 26 April 2007 15:39 (eighteen years ago)

I went for Conundrum, which is helpfully mispelled above as Connundrum. It's got Every Bit Of Me & He's So Popular With The Girls on it, both of which are fucking great, and the rest is good too, really vitriolic lyrics (even for him).

Colonel Poo, Thursday, 26 April 2007 15:45 (eighteen years ago)

'John Lennon's Corpse Revisited' all the way. whichever it is, it's gotta be a Caesars album

Stormy Davis, Thursday, 26 April 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

i choose crimes against music, which covers a lot of his great stuff

félix pié, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:14 (eighteen years ago)

I really gotta listen to more of this stuff. I only have one of those Caesars comps on crypt and some single or another. maybe it was a double 7"? what do people think of his writing? i haven't read any of it.

ian, Thursday, 26 April 2007 21:12 (eighteen years ago)

The Vinyl Japan CD that combines the "Delmonas 5" and "The Delmonas", if that's not cheating.

theboyqueen, Thursday, 26 April 2007 23:40 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think the polls are working with 100% accuracy ... I am *positive* I voted for John Lennon's Corpse Revisited...
