July 15, 20232 yr Congrats to Laura winning and in a slight coincidence I literally just heard it walking round ASDA :o 'Take Your Mama' a worthy runner up too. Thanks for running Wardy ^_^
July 15, 20232 yr Not the winner I voted for but still great :clap: I think my top 3 of theirs is 'Mary', 'Invisible Light' and 'Filthy/Gorgeous' so not quite in line with the forum but their discography is so fabulous that the actual top 3 is more than acceptable :P Thank you for running this Wardy!
July 15, 20232 yr Can't deny 'Laura' as a winner really, it is a stonking track and the one which convinced me to buy the album.
July 16, 20232 yr Laura was a nine week #1 for me back in 2004 so I can’t really grumble at the result. It’s been a while since I’ve really listened to it now. Invisible Light, Somewhere, It Can’t Come Quickly Enough and Return to Oz are my most listened to of theirs these days.
July 16, 20232 yr Wouldn't quite be my first choice of winner but at least in my top 5 I'd think, definitely the right choice out of that top 2.

Love Laura and love It cant Come Quickly Enough & Return To Oz even more :wub: Thanks for running Wardy! And I can only think Jake's hypothetical night out in gay bars with his mum are not in some of the bars Ive been in, no way I would have let my mum anywhere near some of them! :o :teresa:
