A RATHER OBVIOUS COUNTDOWN (Part 3)


Notwithstanding DVD's incredibly funny suggestion from yesterday, a frightening number of songs with this number made it impossible to choose a singular track.  Feel free to offer your own opinions dear readers and listeners, especially if the one (pardon the pun) that's your favourite isn't in this list of ten:-

mp3 : The Clash - Capital Radio One
mp3 : Everything But The Girl - Each And Every One
mp3 : Jack Nitzsche - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (Closing Theme)
mp3 : Johnny Cash - One Piece At A Time
mp3 : The Nectarine No.9 - Don't Worry Babe, You're Not The Only One Awake
mp3 : Pop Will Eat Itself - Def Con One
mp3 : She's Hit - Part One
mp3 : The Smiths - I Want The One I Can't Have
mp3 : Suede - My Insatiable One (piano version)
mp3 : The Wedding Present - Always The Quiet One

The track taken from the film score still has the ability to make me cry.  Especially if I've just watched the film....

Oh and the past 24 hours were probably the windiest and scariest conditions I've ever experienced in my life. There was a gust in excess of 150 miles per hour not too far north of Glasgow........

There was indeed a band by that name, but not Scottish:-

"Hurricane #1 were a British indie rock band, formed in Oxford in 1996. The band were formed by former Ride guitarist Andy Bell, along with vocalist / guitarist Alex Lowe, bassist Will Pepper and drummer Gareth Farmer.

Signed to Creation Records (along with fellow bands such as Oasis, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Primal Scream) they released their debut album in 1997, entitled Hurricane #1. This included their first single, "Step Into My World", which reached number 29 in the UK Singles Chart (and a remix of which reached number 19 in 1997),and other less successful singles "Just Another Illusion" and "Chain Reaction".

In 1999, follow-up album Only The Strongest Will Survive spawned the band's other highest charting single, also called "Only the Strongest Will Survive". The song reached number 19 in 1998."

Hope all is well with you after yesterday. Your neck of the woods really took the brunt of the storm.
