R&P- What was the most "indie" song to enter the charts in your recollection?
The idea for this question come from that song by Edwyn Collins that did quite well. I really thought it was pretty out there myself.
What's your take?
Hi John! This is the kind of answer i'm gonna miss. I agree wholeheartedly with the Big Audio Dynamite song, a peferct example. The one from EMF come out of left field, but after listening to it, you're right. When looking closer at the drumming in A Girl Like You, I come accross this little video and this fellow demostrationg how to make the "clap" sounds. I think you are the kind of guy wil be ROTL like I was:
Cheers.

Do you mean 'Girl like You' from '95(can't believe it was 25 years ago) from the Album 'Gorgeous George'(one of my top ten best albums).
Collins was/is a brilliant songwriter anyone who rhymes metaphorically with alegorically and it make sense to me is a genius(I love songs that have words with more than 3 syllables in).
The Video is good aswell dancers in silhouette, dancing 'off their heads' style not choreographed or trying to be overtly sexy.(Ian Brown 'Just Like You' is a similar video for dancing like that).
But I would say 'The Smiths'-'This Charming Man' on the Rough Trade Label
And 'Blue Monday'-'New Order' on Factory Records(best selling 12'' all time)
There would have been no 'Hacienda' club but for this song.
I know they said they lost money on every copy but that was just Tony Wilson's schtick or a tax dodge.
A few others
'The Only One'-The Charlatans.
'Fools Gold'-Stone Roses
'This is how it Feels'-Inspiral Carpets
'E=MC2'-Big Audio Dynamite
'The Model'-Kraftwerk
'International Rescue'-Fuzzbox
'Unbelievable'-EMF
'Beaver Patrol'-Pop Will Eat Itself'
All topped NME's Independent Record Chart.(Probably, I Think)
