Music - London Music World Cup 16:47 - Feb 17 with 856 viewsBrianMcCarthy

Steve Lamacq recently did a Manchester Anthems World Cup.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/galleries/p01s25nb

Leaving aside the dodgy result (seriously? James?), it got me thinking what the London musos on here would shortlist. London has far more bands and music to choose from, so put yer pride on the line here.

As a half-Londoner I'm as close to neutral as can be found on here, so I'll run this if you all want, but only if I get plenty nominations as to best bands and their best tune.

When (If!) I get sixteen we'll do a draw, and voting can commence on the first match-up.


So, no nominations for winners, I just need entrants right now.

I'll kick it off with:-

The Cure - Close To Me

I know they're not London, but Greater London will do.

a seminal london track from the summer of love 1989/90.

cruising the epoynymous outer lanes of the M25, stopping at service stations to pin yer lug holes to a british telecom phone bank.

Orbitol "Chime". 12" version.

more than music.A work of art .A way of life..

I'm adding in this. Came on the iPod on the way home, and it's a stoker:-

Kinks - All or Nothing.

The Cure is fine with me. Does it have to have a theme in the title or is it just classics

Hawkwind Silver Machine?

All or Nothing was by the Small Faces, unless The Kinks did a cover version which I doubt as they were true to their own material. Two excellent and very similar bands though.

My London nomination would be Plaistow Patricia by Ian Dury. Arseholes, bastards,f.......Kind of sums up our shower yesterday.

There aint half been some clever bastards.

Sorry, ya, The Small Faces. Head went missing there!

No theme, just best music to come out of London.

Kinks - Waterloo Sunset

Feel free to nominate as many as you like, Mona.

As it doesn't have to have a London themed title you really can't beat Rabbit if you're talking classic Chas and Dave

Anything by the rolling Stones but "Let It Bleed" and the much covered "Little Red Rooster"
