Hey totally put your upbeat songlist down odsnt! I already have Violent Femmes "Blister in the Sun" as one ...:D
Fantastic song. Fantastic album. I saw them when that album came out, must have been round about 1983, when they came over to the UK to promote it. Thay were outstanding: I think I even have some photos I took.
Having said that now, I can't put this into my list for two reasons.
1. I'm looking for inspirational songs. Number one on the list is I Am Woman by Helen Reddy (I just ignore the 'Wo' bit :-) 2. The wife doen't like The Violent Femmes as she reckons Gordon Gano's voice is 'too whiny'.
Actually the second is not a valid reason, but the first definately is. People will have their own upbeat songs and they can put anything at all in there.
So I should rename my list inspirational rether than upbeat.
