pretty vacant - has a sort of manchurian candidate effect on me

Ave it.......
This is in one of my YouTube playlists and I never tire of it and I hear it at least once a day..

 

[Costero Poderoso]

A Forest by the Cure extended version. Maybe not the best ever, but the memory of being 15 years old waiting for the bass to begin on an old crappy old record player certainly brings back fond memories to a 55 year old. Happy days

Still stands up today, there's a great version of them performing it live about 6or 7 years ago

 

[Goleftgoright]

Dancin the Night Away - The Motors.

 

[Costero Poderoso]

No more heroes comes to mind, and the opening to hanging around always takes me back.
The opening to talk talk by talk talk, and the opening to being boiled by the human league is another one that takes me back to my schooldays. "Ok let's do it". Der der: also party fears two (too?)

 

[dodgy_surname]

I am an anti christ

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Motorcycle Emptiness The Manic Street Preachers

 

[AllTheBoysAreCheerin']

Maybe it's because I've had a couple, but currently listening to Wish You Were Here by Floyd and thought surely Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one of the best intros of all time, but would welcome other suggestions

It's been my message tone for years!
