    Chumbawumba and Tubthumping. One hit wonders is probably what your thinking. You'd be nearly right. Amnesia, the follow up did go top ten. They opened the 1998 Brit Awards, the same year band member Danbert Nobacon chucked that bucket of Water over Prescott. They are still about, somewhere. Answers on a postcard.... no id rather not know.

    Dream Warriors and Wash Your Face In My Sink. A Canadian Rap Duo - Yes words that go together like Peaches and Chips. These fellas however carried off where De La Soul left off in 1990 with this track and with their other big hit My Definition (which was also a Tedious Link). You can get it Now The Legacy Begins released in 1991.

    Lenny Kravitz and Are You Gonna Go My Way. I always say this is my favourite track ever. I could possibly dispute that in years to come bearing in mind hes a bit of a Jimi Hendrix wannabe. This was his highest charting song up until 1999 when he hit the top spot with Fly Away in February of that year. Best place to get link track is from his greatest hits released in 2000.

    Marvin Gaye with Lets Get It On especially for Valentines Day. Theres plenty of best ofs out there but if you want it on the original then get the self titled album Lets Get It On. He dad killed him in 1984.


    Thursday 13th February 2003 [Posted Friday, February 14 2003 by Uglybob]

    Radiohead with High and Dry. You can find it on 1995 album The Bends, The only decent album they released. Theres more tuneful stuff on this one.


    Wednesday 12th February 2003 [Posted Friday, February 14 2003 by Uglybob]

    Jesus Jones with Real Real Real. It was taken from Doubt. It was reissued last yesr to coincide with the bands reformation.


    Tuesday 11th February 2003 [Posted Friday, February 14 2003 by Uglybob]

    Public Enemy with Fight The Power. You can find this on the album Fear Of A Black Planet. It got to number 29 in 1989.


    Monday 10th February 2003 [Posted Friday, February 14 2003 by Uglybob]

    Reef with Place Your Hands. It can be found on their greatest hits compilation released in 2003. Reef got a bit narked after their fans kept singing Its Your Letters instead because they recorded a piece for TFI Friday that Evans used every week.

    Possibly the only song to sample Pete Tongs voice. A Tribe Called Quest with the Lou Reed Walk on the Wild Side sampled Can I Kick It. Supremely recommended is the Anthology released in 1999. If you like this, try out the special price solo album released by Q-Tip in 2000.


    Thursday 6th February 2003 [Posted Saturday, February 8 2003 by Uglybob]

    Hello by the Beloved. Much overlooked band, originally started as an indie band that gradually went into dance much like The Shamen. You can find it on the Beloved album Happiness.


    Wednesday 5th February 2003 [Posted Saturday, February 8 2003 by Uglybob]

    The Best Ending to a Song... Ever. Yes thats Ugly Kid Joe and Everything About You. You can find this on their greatest hit released in 2002. Granted you will only know 2 of the 18 tracks on it. I thought it was on the Waynes World soundtrack but its not as I found.


    Tuesday 4th February 2003 [Posted Saturday, February 8 2003 by Uglybob]

    Setting Sun from Chemical Brothers featuring Noel Gallagher. It can be found on Dig Your Own Hole. Noel went on to sing on Surrender with the track called Let Forever Be.


    Monday 3rd February 2003 [Posted Saturday, February 8 2003 by Uglybob]

    Love Spreads by The Stone Roses. This was the ill fated comeback record by the Roses. The Second Coming was more a damp squib. It can be found on the Best Of released a couple of months back.


    Friday 31st January 2003 [Posted Saturday, February 8 2003 by Uglybob]

    Underworld with Born Slippy. It can be found on the Trainspotting soundtrack. Lager Lager Lager was a big phrase used in 1996. The films success and Euro 96 propelled up as high as 2 in the charts.

    Weezer with Buddy Holly from 1995 was todays Link. Weezer have appeared on Sesame Street and the video to this song was them being on a Happy Days episode.

    Before Will Smith became crap and immersed in his own ego, he had todays singalong anthem for which I entertained my classmates 10 years ago by rapping the whole tune. It was, as if you didnt know already, Boom! Shake the Room by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Their greatest hits was released in 2001, which also includes the whole theme tune to the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, if your an anorak.


    Tuesday 28th January 2003 [Posted Saturday, February 8 2003 by Uglybob]

    All Saints with Never Ever was todays Tedious Link. We all know about The Appletons are up to now but nothing about the other 2, considered the talented ones. Melanie Blatt seems to have disappeared only resurfacing with singing duties with Artful Dodger and with a UK rap group whose name ive forgotten but it did get to number 43. Shaznay Lewis was last seen on the acclaimed Brit film Bend It Like Beckham. Best place to get this is Hits, released last year as a cash cow.


    Monday 27th January 2003 [Posted Saturday, February 8 2003 by Uglybob]

    Guns N Roses with Sweet Child O' Mine was todays Tedious Link. It was covered recently by Sheryl Crow, proof if proof needed that you should never cover classics. As if you didnt know already, its found on Appetite For Destruction.
