Classic Early Evening Drinking Music
I don't drink enough to be able to really answer this question, but...
- Something by Roxy Music is always nice.
- Liz Phair's "Extraordinary," maybe.
- Or Spandau Ballet's "True."
- The Junkie XL song with vocals by Robert Smith would probably be good for drinking alone.
- I could see listening to Ray Davies' song from Absolute Beginners, "Quiet Life" while enjoying a drink at home, if I were the sort of person who did that.

One of Your Favorite Lyrics
From OMD's Messages:
So don't ask me if I think it's true That
communications can bring hope To those
who have gone their separate ways
It hardly touched me when it should have then But
memories are uncertain friends
When recalled by messages
5 Cover Songs Arguably Better Than the Original
- Kon Kan-Puss N Boots/These Boots (Are Made For Walking) -- Classic favorite "mash-up" of Led Zeppelin with Nancy Sinatra.
- Shriekback-Get Down Tonight. Shriekback crash-landing on a KC song...Humanly impossible to disapprove, cos the Shriek keeps shrieking and the groove don't move...
- Pet Shop Boys-Always On My Mind
- Depeche Mode-Route 66. Even though in retrospect, this was an early warning sign of the groups getting into dreary rock, which almost killed Dave and from which they've never recovered to my ears.
- Bananarama-Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye. I want it played at my funeral.

5 Good Rock Songs That You Can Dance To
Preaching To The Perverted-Pop Will Eat Itself...other than that I don't know many such songs, really...oh, and "Brimful of Asha." I suppose I can't count Safety Dance or Wang Chung, can I? I didn't think I could. What about The Divine Comedy's Noel Coward cover? I don't like rock, is what I'm saying.
