1. Scenes From Hell-Sigh
2. Fang Island-Fang Island
3. Snakes For the Divine-High on Fire

5. Congratulations-MGMT
6. This is Happening-LCD Sound System

"Romance is Boring" by Los Campesions!, "There is Love in You" by Four Tet, "Beat the Devil's Tattoo" by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and "Plastic Beach" by Gorillaz didn't make the cut. _________________ I love all music. It makes you feel like living. Silence is death.

I'm not doing a list, I only want to ask you... what did you like about Scratch my Back? Peter Gabriel is one of my favourite artists and Red Rain is one of my top 10 songs, but I still can't found a good song in SMB. BTW, I think Gabriel's cover of Street Spirit (Fade Out) is lame . _________________ And If a Double Decker Bus, Crashes into us...
