Stop making sense...
We should get some quirky music, although I don't know if it will be as cred as tonight's playlist. I thought there were some cracking things tonight. The early Drifters was a revelation for me and finishing with Scottish albums tracks sent me home with a spring in my step.

this is fantastic - from the suberb box set 'A Complete Introduction To Chess', which has been lighting up my life for a few weeks now.
Game on! Kirsten is back. Agree Bryan, absolutely superb show -I was never that up about Tom Waits, but you might have changed my mind.

Possibly the best edition of GIO I can recall, spoiled only by an unremarkable Coldplay track which still merited a point, being less obvious.

I counted three or four that were completely obvious singles,including Hey Joe, about three I was unsure about being singles and some of the rest might have been singles, but I wasn't familiar with them as such. Overall though, it was eclectic,diverse and the less obvious tracks were,excepting Coldplay (which I didn't enjoy), interesting and revelatory to hear, I thought.
I think more recent editions of 'Are You Experienced' possibly contain 'Hey Joe' which is maybe where the team got it from - though I can't recall hearing anyone specifically request that track.

Some curious choices there Patrick. Mind you, it would be good to hear that Kirsty McColl song again.
For the Monkees I would have suggested "Randy Scouse Git".
