They've done some excellent songs. My fave of theirs has got to be 36D - bloody love that one!

I quite liked Rotterdam but their best 2 singles came later, namely How Long Does a Tear Take to Dry and Closer than Most.

My parents loved them so I grew up listening to them,
My favourite songs are probably Song For Whoever (dad's funeral song) and definitely A Little Time. |

All of them. It's the one greatest hits album I have that I don't skip.

Really like the Beautiful South, though I haven't listened to them for ages. My favourite might be 'prettiest eyes'- a lovely lyric and a beautiful melody.
Or for those depressing days- 'I hate you (but you're interesting)' |

It is. Though I remember an interview with Paul Heaton, where he said that when performing the song on TOTP, he sang "old red-end is back"

Paul Heaton is actually touring at the moment. Can we include Housemartins songs on this thread as well?

Old Red Eyes.
Carry On Up The Charts is possibly a contender for best Best Of ever! Amazing songwriters! |

I only ever liked Rotterdam (Or Anywhere), Perfect 10 and Old Red Eyes is Back. I'm not bothered about looking through their catalogue on Spotify.
