    Stone Roses for me as well, so apart from that will go:

    Cyndi Lauper - She’s so unusual

    1. Money changes everything
    2. Girls just want to have fun 
    3. When you were mine

    REM - Automatic for the people

    1. Drive
    2. Try not to breathe 
    3. The sidewinder sleeps tonight 
    I just scanned through R.E.M. to see what I’d pick. I’d probably go for Fables, but you can choose any three from Automatic and I don’t think anyone would argue.

    Love this record (BOTW being one of the best songs of all time), but I think Graceland has the better three openers. In my opinion Graceland is one of the top ten records of all time 

    1. Boy In The Bubble
    2. Graceland
    3. I Know What I Know
