Salad

I was never into Belle & Sebastian but because of the excellent God Help The Girl album, I've donwloaded a little to add to what I have.

The best five songs I know are:

I'm A Cuckoo
Dirty Dream Number Two
White Collar Boy
The Boy With The Arab Strap
The Blues Are Still Blue

Be grateful for any more suggestions :-)

I know you said 5 but thats impossible.

Seeing Other People (if you're feeling sinister)
Judy and the Dream of Horses (if you're feeling sinister)
It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career (the boy with the arab strap)
If you find yourself caught in love (dear catastrophe waitress)
Belle & Sebastian (push barman to open old wounds)
Sukie in the Graveyard (the life pursuit)

favourite b&s song ever though is "Lazy Line Painter Jane" (push barman to open old wounds)

The State I am In - (Tigermilk)
Like Dylan In The Movies - (If You're Feeling Sinister)
Don't Leave The Light On Baby - (Fold Your Hands Child)
I'm Waking Up To Us - (Push Barman)

The Boy With The Arab Strap is the only one I like that I've really heard to be honest.

Heard them totally butcher 'The Boy with a Thorn in his Side' on Limewire so have avoided em since. . . .

and which are your favourites?

Oakster

B&S still hold the honour of worst band I have ever seen live in 21 years & countless hundreds of shows.

Union Chapel circa July '97 - they were dreadful, farted & fannied around with such twee, precociousness & indie-schmindie attitude. I think we even left early as it was so intolerable.

Great band but they were unbearable that night.............

Salad

Suzi - they all are! Seriously information overload to have favourites yet, especially amongst the more delicate songs which aren't even on the CD above.

I would definitely add The State I Am In to my original list.

Oakster

You are missing this one Salad me old mucker!!

I like "The Boy with the Arab Strap" but to be honest I can't listen to them properly as my missus is so obsessed with them she listens to them everyday and sings along to every tune and it drives me nuts........... I'm sure I piss her off when I wake her and the neigbours up at 4 in the morning singing Valley Floyd Road though so fair dues.

Salad

I wouldnt even know where to start with my best 5 so I'm not even going to try. But I think Jonathan David is my favourite song.... maybe

this thread prompted me to dig out Tigermilk from the back of the drawer and replay it. On the strength of that and your comments, I've just ordered Push Barman. cheers all.
