    I’m just sitting here (in work) listening to REM, and I think that both ‘World Leader Pretend’ and ‘Texarkana’ must fit into the above category.

    More?

    ‘Bump’ in the hope that you might amuse me while I remain at my desk.

    If it’s a s**t suggestion for a thread, you have my apologies. 😕

    Bliss by Muse. Did ok when they released it as a single, but it’s on an album alongside new born, feeling good and plug in baby so kind of gets overlooked.

    Sometimes by James.

    Perfect description of an evening in Majorca watching the carnage of an autumn storm.

    ‘Tramp’ by the Stranglers (on my mind cos of the basslines thread). It’s on La Folie and is a brilliant song with a great JJ bassline.

    Oddly the first song I thought of was Drive by REM, blows ‘Nightswimming’ out of the water IMO.

    Then there’s ‘Fall on me’ and ‘Superman’ by REM too which I think are great.

    U2 are generally tragic but have to say bad is a great song.

    Mulholland drive is another good track from REM.

    God is in the Radio is an epic, but underrated track from Queens of the Stone Age if they count as a ‘big’ band. Sort of captures their paradoxical sound – heavy shit that’s easy on the ears.

    There’s a few good REM tracks, anything off New Adventures, to be honest.
    James’ “Run Aground” is a good one as well, though I prefer the Redbird/Jeffrey Foucault version of Running to Stand Still.

    for U2 – Running To Stand Still.

    + another

    Has to be said, “Red Hill Mining Town” is my favourite track on Joshua Tree – and that remains one of my favourite albums.

    From Running To Stand Still to the end of the album the pent up emotion builds and builds. Brilliant
