Time for a live album!

Not sure I’ve seen this one yet, which is a bit of a surprise given the impact it seemed to have at the time

Nirvana, Where Did You Sleep Last Night (1994, MTV Unplugged In New York)

Really enjoyed your Mediterranean interlude!

It’s riding bikes again in the 2020s now that enterprising teens have worked out how to hack Lime bikes

Back to the road more travelled with a very pulpy Pulp number, where you’re not quite sure whether Jarvis’s sneers are aimed at his rival’s tastes, the girl for accommodating them, or himself

Pulp, Pink Glove (1994, His ‘N’ Hers)

Didn’t you already do best debut singles?

The only tricky choice of the round for me

Really enjoyed this, thanks for posting!

Such a good album. Me & Magdalena really works for me

I disagree with the consensus on this, preferring Spiritualised’s first LP to Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space

It even splits into four 3 song suites - but I prefer the opener on its own

You Know It’s True, Spiritualised (1992, Lazer Guided Melodies)

To give Longo’s heiress the benefit of the doubt, as the women’s peloton as a whole is at a relatively lower level than the men’s - eg the 20th best rider is worse compared with the best than her male counterpart - shouldn’t a wider range of performance be expected in women’s races?

Didn’t know this, thanks for posting it

Not a single?!

Great tune. Very close to my list too

One more vote for this magnificent noise

Was my alarm for much of the 90s, really helps wake you up in the morning

My Bloody Valentine, Only Shallow (1991, Loveless)

First: Louis Trousselier, 76 years before Hinault

Line dancing?

Great choice

Going with the crowd on this gorgeous jangly tune

Alcoholiday, Teenage Fanclub (1991, Bandwagonesque)

Or the Afrikaaner enclave in Orange Free State around the time apartheid ended

University of Bath Statute amendments University of Bath Statute amendments

The Privy Council is also a legislative body. Its legislation can be found at privycouncil.independent.gov.uk/pco_order/

The number who think they’re more likely to score against Pickford than Hampton is a little surprising: he literally occupies more of the goal than her

At least PE knew this deserved a video even if it was just a B side. Not that it was their most popular video but Arizona did introduce MLK day soon after (I think)!

Public Enemy, By The Time I Get To Arizona (1991, Apocalypse 91 … the Enemy Strikes Black)

Doh, missed the deadline

Well, both descend from rugby. Just American football diverged earlier.

In fact I only just re-remembered to have it as an HM, and was going to choose Divan by The Lemonheads, on the basis that half points was appropriate for a 90 second song

#all50rts 5th Honourable Mention

Who Knows Where The Time Goes, Fairport Convention (1969, Unhalfbricking)

Yet another one that I completely forgot about but was glad to see chosen by others

And when you’re in the street
I beat you are definitely in the top three
Good looking girls on the street
Depending on the street

Brilliant choice!

#all50rts Hon mention 4

Madonna, Till Death Do Us Part (1989, Like A Prayer)

Who’d have thought that one of Madonna’s career peaks would be an albums track about Alf Garnett?

(This video claims to be official; I don’t think it’s official)

“I am leaving the pack unchanged” he says, changing the loose head
