Hi All

I've never done a rate before but I've always loved a bit of Suede and with their impending return it seems a good time to do a rate! (Hope the mods allow this)


So please rate the following Suede singles....

Golden Gun

Clicky click on the links if you need reminding!

And just for fun- the Albums

Suede
Dog Man Star
Coming Up
Head Music
Sci-Fi Lullabies
A New Morning

SCORING

You may award one 11 other than that it's out of 10. Same for albums. No minus scores are allowed as Suede are clearly brilliant!

You have one week to vote by PM to me and I'll do something next week- honest!! DEADLINE- 9PM ON WEDNESDAY JANUARY 23RD 2013

I know I might just get three voters but hey ho- it makes me happy! :D

Woohoo thanks to Silver Rocket who is our first voter- I'm heartened by a speedy response! :D

I can't vote, because I only know Beautiful Ones - but what a tune! :wub:

They hold a special place in my heart, at the age of 10 when I was all into Spice Girls I was listening to Suede until I got into music properly, it's like the soundtrack of my childhood. :P Plus I am rather excited for the new album.

Oooooooh. Amazing band (up to 1995).

Coming Up era was life for me - I even saw them live in late 96. My top scorer isn't from that album though!

To The Birds was a track on The Drowners EP rather than a single in its own right. I'm quite happy to vote for it though :D

Ooh, I was wondering if someone would start this.

 

I've noticed two omissions though. "Together", the first song written by Anderson/Oakes, was a double-A side with 'New Generation', whilst "Let Go" was released as a double A-side single in Sweden (along with Can't Get Enough).

My God, Attitude reminds me of Garbage for some reason. I haven't heard it in ages.

We need to include Yes as well. tenuous I know, but I still love it!

Never knew that.

In the airport home from Newcastle, this song came on on my Ipod and I belted it out loudly. People stared at me. Was totally worth it.

Pesky Polyhex! Actually MW listed them as a double A-Side as well (at the time) :(

I wouldn't really say that it should be included. It's better than everything Suede did after Bernard left, though.

It so was! One of THE albums that takes me back to 1996 straight away! I saw them at DeMontfort Hall during that tour too! :heart:

Glorious song, don't blame you!

Trash mainly reminds me of going to Cornwall on holiday with my mum and dad - the CD single was released that week and I got it on the Monday at Our Price in Penzance and basically played it all week on my personal CD player. I did the same with Country House the year before as I was on holiday during the Blur/Oasis week :lol:

Voted. I wasn't sure if I could give an 11 in the albums rate so I didn't. I also rated the full version of Stay Together - the radio version would have lost 2 points.

Ok I've looked into this- as "Let Go" wasn't a UK single (I think it was on the B-side here of "Can't Get Enough") so isn't eligible. "Together" isn't listed as double A-Side with "New Generation" on either Polyhex or MW (again at the time) :(

And for those who didn't know, "Golden Gun" was used as the theme tune to the Charlie Brooker TV show "You Have Been Watching." If you're wondering why a rather under-appreciated Suede track was used as the theme tune, look at who produced that show and make the connection.
