Lists Lists Lists

It would be wrong of me to separate the old from whichever variety so I excitedly bring the new.

Although I’m not officially forming another ‘same title, different song’ list, new members will attend this party so if that’s not a fantastic Brucie, I don't know what is.

Let's rock as we roll.

Make sure Little precedes and you'll have a track from...


As usual, I'm using two little words so Little Black Submarines, Little Red Rooster and Little Red Door from The Black Keys, The Rolling Stones and The Zutons respectively, need not apply.

Little Problems is the Only Fools episode when Rodders gets married and in order to keep his £2000 wedding present promise to Rodney, Del Boy gets beaten up by gangsters The Driscoll Brothers.


Little Women, Little Manhattan, Little Thirteen and Little Children are all films.


Little Mercies is a novel by Heather Gudenkauf.

Are you Big enough to take on its learned friend?  I jolly well hope so...

Tracks that are also albums

Eponymously titled album numbers will be largely ignored unless they can be associated with something other than vanity.

For example, The Bends is a track and album from Radiohead,  Empire is a track and album from Kasabian and similarly, Olympian is a track and album from Gene.


Etc etc...


Coincidence is such a glorious animal.


Providing you follow this simple rule - you can't go wrong.


Track and/or album first, followed by artist(s) responsible for track and finally, artist(s) attached to album.  


For example:


Tightrope - The Stone Roses, The Unwinding Hours and Saint Saviour - Chatham County Lane


Got that?  Great.


Enjoy.
