SHINE 5 - wife swapping is the futcher

SHINE 5: you know that it would suitcher! June 1996, the year Shine went MASSIVE in more ways than one, I think this is one of the best Shines yet, except for Shine 3 which was of course, my first Shine. This is the year Ash went "sensitive" and made "timeless touching pop moments" with Goldfinger and Oh Year, clearly a good move seeing as they appear on this compilation not once but TWICE - Marion and the Longpigs have their STRONGEST SONGS YET and the sodding Cranberries make yet ANOTHER baffling appearance. Audioweb make their first appearance on a Shine. WHY!!!

So, anyone remember Salt?? ON WITH THE VOTES!

Am I going to remain the only one who ticked Whipping Boy tho? (I *think* it was the Twinkle track I loved, they did have a rub follow-up... rather like HARVEY'S RABBIT oh yes)

I don't remember what it sounds like! I will be interested if any brave punters choose me in ticking KULA SHAKER! I am ticking that mostly on my gleeful reaction to it at the time, too much for me not to be able to tick it in all good conscience as being "any cop"!

There are several Kula Shakur songs I wd tick but this isn't one of them.

The follow-up, 'We Don't Need Nobody Else' was "controversial" because the guy says "I hit you for the first time today" and wot if it was TRUE?!?11? But he also was snide about Bono in a very amusing way. I liked it. These were basically their only two good songs though. But what songs!

Sadly I think my copy of their album is a dusty old tape...

Heh I have a terrible suspicion that, somewhere at my mum's house, the cassette single version of "Twinkle" is gathering dust ;)
