I admit I voted King of Joy...

I voted King Of Joy, because it's better than any other song I've heard from the list

"Shine On" is one that i remember but i thought it was a newer song?

i basically like every song here, though. i've probably listened to, and enjoyed, basically anything that even went near Creation/Alan McGee [...] until Oasis came along.
These damn songs are my damn childhood, sort of. Except I'm 29 now and live on the wrong side of the planet and wasn't actually there at the time... but, still.
Shambling/C-86/and pre-Twee survives! Forever!

^ There was a slightly slicker "Shine On" on the second HoL LP, 1989-90!? A tiny bit newer, at least. (XP)

I've a soft spot for quite a few of these. I'd almost forgotten "Cold Heart". Really dug it just now. Vote goes to Momus though.

saw these on shelves, couldn't afford to take a chance on them, consequently never heard a one of 'em

Vote anyway.

This great song was never properly recorded, imo

"Ballad of the Band" prob. the best single Creation ever released. If only it had come out in the early days, with the wraparound sleeve and the little plastic bag.

It's good to see "King of Joy" high in the running. I know, I know, he was a star. However, I just fear that people don't know about that song, sometimes.

It's also pretty lame that "Shine On" one. Yeah, a very wonderful song, but there's so much other great stuff here. Felt, Biff Bang Pow!, etc.

won*

The second "Shine On" is the best version.

Turrican, Wednesday, 16 December 2015 19:06 (eight years ago) link

Oh my god, you're so wrong!

You mis-spelled "totally on the money"

Turrican, Wednesday, 16 December 2015 19:22 (eight years ago) link

Turrican: Lol!

I was also glad to see "Therese" make it up there, by the way. But, meh, I'm a little tired of that song - I've heard it a thousand times on a thousand indie pop compilations.
