I feel inspired now.
All my mix tapes have been for me. Consequently, I have no trouble at all getting into my own pants, and indeed spent much of my teenage years grinning like a wanking Jap…

In the past, I have spent many an evening making mix tapes – there’s something quite satisfying about the whole thing. Sitting on the floor, selecting which songs to put on, in which order, surrounded by a sea of vinyl and CDs, panicking when it looks as though there isn’t going to be quite enough tape left to fit the last song onto… Takes me back, it does.

In fact, I’m inspired to perhaps make up a compilation CD over the weekend now. Possibly featuring some or all of these…

Bike – Pink Floyd
I Feel You / Rush – Depeche Mode (actually, pretty much anything by the Mode ends up on a compilation somewhere along the line)
Is This the Life? – Cardiacs
Not Now James, We’re Busy / Def Con One / PWEIzation– PWEI

Laura – Fields of the Nephilim
Ziggy Stardust / She’s In Parties – Bauhaus
Longue Route / Skinflowers – Young Gods
Cochise – Audioslave

This Garden – Levellers
Ace of Spades – Motorhead
Fade to Grey – Visage
Break on Through – Doors
Venus in Furs – Velvet Underground
Bankrobber – The Clash
When I Grow Up – Michelle Shocked

This Garden – Levellers
Blood, sweat and tears really DO matter - especially after hearing this song.

Out of albums you select possibly the worst levs song ever!

I've always liked it
prefer the single version to the album one though.

Top band, like.

Not bad, just a few I'd miss out and maybe add a bit more mode! I might plump for dog like sparky over is this the life or just have both as well.

agreed
Mode is the best ever stuff.
Along with quite a few others on your list.
But Depeche Mode is still the best......and I've only been listening to their stuff for 22-ish years.

Oh good lord....I just realized that I have been listening to that group since before some b3tans have been alive! Now I feel old.
