Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.

Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.

Just can't get my head around Neil Young with a bob cut. I thought he was born with a shoulder length bum part.

Anyhoo, ain't no solo like a flute solo. Done by a hairy dude in dungarees, no less...

This tune thread has had some good moments... But what about the worse songs ever? The top 50 worse songs that were worldwide hits? There have been some truly hideous moments in music history...
Here are 10 songs I'd like to nominate for the "swellnet 50 song compilation, only cd on board during a sadistic indo boatrip"....

Any chance of writing what the song is before we click? Don't want some of those URLs in my history.

And if anyone nominates Safety Dance things are gonna get real ugly 'round here.

Stu, I think we need songs like these to remind us of how truly wonderful real music can be.

Seiji Ozawa (poor fellow, now riddled with cancer) conducting the Berlin Philharmonic, Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker.

Truly beautiful.

I fast fowarded through the Sabrina clip and only watched the parts when her bikini was wet;)

Gold bless those little brown-nosed puppies.

That clip stands out and the uncut 'Girls on Film' clip by Duran Duran in terms of fueling my schoolboy lust all those years ago.

With your majestic and superior cackling hen

Never hear
Surf music again
