@AddickUpNorth Which track off that album is it that goes "I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts"? Had a friend from uni that played that a fair amount, so I always think of him when I hear it.AddickUpNorth said:Script For A Jesters Tear

Three first tracks that are half an album, and pretty decent, are from side one of the Yes Album.golfaddick said:
Only problem with Love over Gold is that the first 2 songs take up all of side 1.....so if you have the album version you have to turn it over to listen to the 3rd one on the list. I think it therefore fails by default, otherwise it would have been one if my choices.Sillybilly said:Dire straits - love over gold
1. Telegraph Road
2. private Investigations
3. Industrial Disease
Dire straits - Making Movies
1. Tunnel Of Love
2. Romeo & Juliet
3. Skateaway.Absolute classics. Mind you only 5 and 6 songs respectively on both albums.
Yours is no disgrace.
