OK, the idea here is we post ten completely forgotten tracks and perhaps when we are looking through someone else's list we will see one we recognize and go "oh yeah! I remember that, it was good!" and it will be like reclaiming some long lost musical memory. Remember they have to be completely forgotten, not slightly obscure, not under appreciated, completely forgotten.

OK, you go.

#7 and #9 have certainly not been forgotten by me. Great songs.

8.China Crisis - Wall Of God
9. Peter Hamill - Four Pails
10.Clan Of Xymox - No Human Can Drown

Kon, I've got an alternate version one One Summer Night if you are interested in it...

Excellent. I just picked up the new expanded/remastered versions of Urban Beaches and No Shelter, the latter being their sophomore effort that was never released.

There was a time when I would've called that my favorite song. That time is not now.

I used to hear that Madness song all the time, even in the mid to late '90s.

Yeah, the Madness song I just heard on the radio today for the first time in, like, 10 years. But maybe it doesn't quite fit the criteria for some of y'all.

1. School Of Fish - Rose Colored Glasses
2. Jean Beauvoir - Sorry I Missed Your Wedding Day
3. The Connells - Scotty's Lament
4. Kevn Kinney - Hey Landlord (Meatloaf & Fishsticks)
5. Government Cheese - Fishstick Day
6. Donner Party - When You Die Yours Eyes Pop Out
7. Scruffy The Cat - Thomas Doubter
8. Pianosaurus - (A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To) The Toystore
9. Blue Riddim Band - Nancy Reagan
10.The Kane Gang - Smalltown Creed

Man, I used to LOVE Scruffy the Cat and that Kevn Kinney record!

And speaking of Kevn Kinney, howzabout adding this song to the list here:

"Fly Me Courageous" - Drivin' and Cryin'

1.The Men They Couldn't Hang - Grave-Robbing In Gig Harbour
2.Deacon Blue - He Looks Like Spencer Tracy Now
3.Humblebums - Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway
4.Colin Newman - But I...
5.The Bears - Old Fat Cadillac
6.Dumptruck - Hung Out On A Line
7.Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper - Lincoln Logs
8.David Sylvian - The Boy With The Gun
9.Boiled In Lead - Microrganism
10.Young Fresh Fellows - Amy Grant

I smell a box set in the making.

Wire Train - Chamber Of Hellos
True Believers - The Rain Won't Help You
Impossible Years - Attraction Gear
54-40 - Baby Ran
The Reivers - Things Don't Change
Pailhead - I Will Refuse
That Petrol Emotion - Cellophane

Everyone knows this song

Hell yeah!

That whole album is criminally underrated. Probably one of the first "folk rock" records I ever owned. "The House above Tina's Grocery", "Gotta get out of here", "Not afraid to die", and "Macdougal Blues" are solid also.

1) Honcho Overload - Miserable
2) Bugskull - Fences
3) Carne-A - Canker Town
4) We All Together - Symbolic Queen
5) Steakdaddy 6 - Play
6) The Fluid - On My Feet
7) Culturcide - Love is a Cattle Prod
8. Wendyfix - Wake
9) Arcwelder - Will When You Won't
10) Vocokesh - Still Standing in the Same Garden

What is this "Beat up on PopTodd's List day"?

YEESH!
