The Slits should get a lot more kudos than they do really. They were like The Sugarcubes a decade early - really similar vocals to Bjork sometimes - and they were a girl band at a time when that was still purely a novelty, but they did some classy stuff. I suppose they're another of those 1978-1982 sort of era bands when there was so much good stuff around that a lot of it was never properly appreciated.
So, anyway, since no one's mentioned The Sugarcubes yet, nor are likely to probably, I'd pick something off Life's Too Good which I'm just listening to trying to choose which track but I've only got it on cassette so I can't skip through and make a snap CD-era decision.

A waste of your time, since that would presuppose that there was a track on there that was somehow less than brilliant. London can just stick the whole CD on and go shmooze with her fellow media slebs for 40 mins.
Mind you, she's probably going to do that with the CSS album.
Have we had any Echobelly yet? I Can't Imagine The World Without Me anyone?

I wasn't answering your question - I was posting further tracks that could be played. Your request was posted as I was, hmm... about halfway through typing my post.
Black Mask: I've been to many indie nights and I've heard each of those tracks I listed at most of them. The "kids today" do actually like music that was produced in the 50s/60s/70s. Therefore, it doesn't suprise me a great deal to hear them played over the course of a decent (studenty) indie night.

Sorry. It used to be all kinds of fun to correct Boy Racer's apostrophe misuse, you see. I'm just trying to recapture the glory days.

you'll be pleased to know he goes to oxford, is against taking part in the first world war, and ends up with an older lover who he really shouldn't be with
