Beach Fossils - caustic cross, 2013

"Imagine Joy Division, and now imagine that they were actually enjoyable to listen to and not dark and depressing"

Barclay James Harvest - spirit on the water, 1977

"Holroyd's 'Spirit on the Water', a very nice slow number, firmly rooted in the British pop- rock tradition, but wisely taken to an art rock level thanks to Wolstenholme's keyboard parts and the clever use of simplicity in the guitar riffs"

The Lightning Seeds - fingers and thumbs, 1996

"Fans of early Lightning Seeds hits like "Pure" and "Life of Riley" will recognize hints of them in the catchy "Like You Do," although Broudie has spiced things up considerably with a bit of techno."

The Cure - boys don't cry acoustic version, 2001

"Greatest Hits is a greatest hits album by English rock band the Cure. It was first released in Japan on 7 November 2001,[6] before being released in the UK and Europe on 12 November and then in the US the day after. The band's relationship with longtime label Fiction Records came to a close, and the Cure were obliged to release one final album for the label. Lead singer Robert Smith agreed to release a greatest hits album under the condition that he could choose the tracks himself. The band also recorded a special studio album released as a bonus disc to some versions of the album. The disc, titled Acoustic Hits, consists of the eighteen songs from the North American release re-recorded using acoustic instruments."
