What's the best Boo Radleys single (including b-sides of course) in your opinion?
I don't know my favourite yet, I need to think about it... _________________

"Find The Answer Within" was always my favourite Boo's single - a big bouncy pop song thats summery as Cliff Richard at Wimbledon. I played it till my ears bled when it first came out just like Bryan Adams played his guitar till his fingers bled in the Summer of '69. |

Of singles that I actually owed, both The Ride The Tiger Singles are great and have my fave b-sides.

i think the wake up boo single with blues for george michael, janus and friendship is my fave. Find the answer within has some great b-sides aswell though. _________________ Martin O'Neill's Claret And Blue Army |

Hew, sorry to be a stoopid kitten but where does your signature come from? It makes me laugh everytime I read it.

If you look at it as in classic single type pop, it has to be wake up boo, dunnit?
Lazy Day is a great short blast of a single. |

can't believe no one else goes for Kingsize
I know it was a promo and a proper release would have been split into a CD1 and CD2 (at a guess)
but it has:
1. Kingsize (edit)
2. Superintendent
3. Last Night I Dreamt Of God
4. Tomorrow
5. Free Huey (remix)
Kingsize, the song. and any of two of the others (bar the only ok remix) would still make an amazing single.
I think, anyway |

IMHO of those only Kingsize and Superintendant are truly truly great. _________________ "fashioned by the blade of a world that doesn't care,

I'd say the same goes for nearly all the b-sides, as much as I love them |

I received Giant Steps from amazon today, first time ive heard all it for about 5 years, and i tell you what, it made the journey from Cardiff to Aberdare one of the most joyfull journeys i've ever had, I fucking loves it clart!
I also got learnig to fly, first impressions, i like the later songs as they sort of lead into the EAF style. The first few songs are pretty raw!
Next step will be to buy the last 3 albums, which still, to my shame, i have not heard. t'will not be long my fellow boo'sters. |
