Not a song, but 30+ years on, I haven't tired of

Oh yes! I was never the biggest James fan but that song really does it for me. Definitely on the list.

Ha! That's amazing. Never heard it before, not sure I want to hear it again, but I can see why it might be up your street if you're into that kind of thing.

Talking of self-indulgence, this has to be the pinnacle of psych-rock wankery, but I adore it...

One of those rare tracks that sounds like you're hearing it for the first time every time.

Plus 1 for Mazzy Star.

Songs I never tire of include
Joan of Arc, and Messages by OMD
Today by Smashing Pumpkins
my angel rocks back and forth by Four Tet
Dayvan Cowboy - the Boards of Canada
Dash and Blast part 1 - Yndi Halda
but especially works of Sigur Ros; Festival, Glosoli, Ara batur, Hafsol are just top notch - really beautiful works.

I went out and bought a sax on the basis of that performance, and then completely failed to learn to play it

You could have given us a warning about the subliminal Simon Bates Blipvert!

But, really, for me it's this. Fade Into You by Mazzy Star;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?search=&gl=GB&mode=related&hl=en-GB&v=ysu-o4oCVSA

Oh dear. I am going to have to dig out my one mazzy star album when I get home this evening. I'd completely forgotten that song.

One that's totally burnt into my circuitry is Galaxie 500's Decomposing Trees.

Monday Monday & California Dreaming, The Mamas and The Papas

Play on a two track loop, perfect for hacking out the miles.

Hmm. Could do with a bit more cowbell...

The morer the cowbell - the betterer the song.

Slightly All The Time - Soft Machine

I went out and bought a sax on the basis of that performance, and I'm still playing it, nearly 40 years later.

Ok, it's not actually a song, but these are:

Country Girl - CSNY
Oh Caroline - Robert Wyatt
Teenage Dirtbag - Weezer
Bachelorette - Bjork
Born Under a Bad Sign - Cream (or almost anybody - Homer Simpson for instance)

and loads more...
