THE PRODIGY – “Everybody In The Place”
THE PRODIGY – “Out Of Space” (twice, under threat of death from my brother)
MC TUNES FEAT 808 STATE – “Tunes Splits The Atom” (“vocal domination like Hendrix on strings” indeed)
WHIGFIELD – “Think Of You” (has dated better than 90% of tunes below)
THE KLF – “3 AM Eternal”
THE WEDDING PRESENT – “Kennedy”
PULP – “Razzmatazz” (& probably “Babies”)
RIDE – “Twisterella”

SAINT ETIENNE – “Only Love Can Break Your Heart”
THE BAD

STAR TURN ON 45 PINTS – The B-Side of “Pump Up The Bitter”
JESUS JONES – “Real Real Real”
JEFFERSON AIRHEAD – “Funny How” (proof that there is no God)
