    I do love Del Amitri's 'roll to me' - its one of those songs that really cheers me up everytime i hear it and gets everything done that you want in a song despite it being under two minutes.

    Couldn't we make it up to 2 mins 5 seconds?? I can think of a few great ones which are just a tad over 2 mins.


    But three good 'uns under 2 mins:

    Fitter Happier - Radiohead (1:57)
    White Riot - The Clash (1:55)
    Allison -Pixies (1:17)

    Which are your faves?

    White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl?
    Blur - Song 2?
    Del Amitri - Roll To Me?

    Song 2 was way too good to be 2 mins, they should have made more of it.

    Stormtroopers of Death - Anti-Procrastination Song (0:06)

    Song 2 was way too good to be 2 mins, they should have made more of it.

    It was the second single fro the album, was track 2 on the album, reached number 2 in the charts and is 2:02 in length. Song 2 is a perfect title for it :D

    Someone told me that the song was meant to be slow, but they made it faster when recording it? Anyone know anything about this?

    Here's my list:

    - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Man (1:50)
    - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Tick (1:50)
    - White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl (1:50)
    - Maximo Park - The Night I Lost My Head (1:51)

    There's lots just over 2 minutes, but those are the only non-interlude/skit songs.

    I would have had The Smiths and White Stripes too, but I'll contribute:
    Eddie Cochran - Summertime Blues
    Box Tops - The Letter
    Teenage Fanclub - What You Do To Me

    Special mention for Buddy Holly on this front - I have a 20-track "Best of" CD that clocks in at 46 minutes total playing time.
