Tough choices folks. I'm not indulging people who don't have a copy with explanations, links or owt because You Should Have One. It's hard enough to pick 5, so in no particular order The Book of Love The Luckiest Boy on the Lower East Side Nothing Matters When We're Dancing Queen of the Savages Busby Berkley Dreams |

I have it on tape so I only really listened to it on my Walkmen and don't actually know the names of the songs! I could hum a few if that helps? |

Even better! A list that's made up of "the one that goes..." would be totally in the spirit of the record. |

Great Top 5 topic! This would be mine... 1. Underwear - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQC_fROPpXw 2. Busby Berkeley Dreams - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAwU1RkFqEw - easily one of the most sad, eloquent songs of all time time, for me. 3. Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhO1XlDFqxE 4. Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygi3EDQLs4A 5. Absolutely Cuckoo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N6sHtmuzq4 |

Excellent topic. This has taken me bloody ages to whittle down. In no order: All My Little Words Busby Berkeley Dreams Acoustic Guitar The Death of Ferdinand De Saussure The Night You Can't Forget Surprised that it's skewed 4 to 1 in Disc 3's favour (because Disc 1 is my overall favourite) but there you go. Only Papa Was A Rodeo from Disc 2 was close to making the cut. Interestingly enough my first encounter with the Magnetic Fields was this performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG75u2ymoRI Very different from the record but mesmerising all the same. |

Also I'm sad to say The Book Of Love might have been in there but that HORRIBLE Peter Gabriel cover's ruined it for me. Absolutely ruined it. |

Busby Berkeley Dreams coming out ahead (so far, ahem). Excellent. We're a soppy bunch. It's got recorders on it too. I was going to say you don't hear enough recorders, but actually, I suspect you do. |
