Hmm, les boys? I ripped MM on my computer, of course I didn't rip Les Boys. Worst song MK has ever written imo.

At the moment I'm only listening to Pulling down the ride, Home boy, Good as gold and Early bird. Over and over again... :o

Kill To Get Crimson is a great example of an album with the 'feel' in my opinion. You can tell that all songs have a common denominator (if you know what I mean). Get Lucky is not that uniform in that matter but it has more tracks that really stand out like Remebrance Day, So Far From  The Clyde and Before Gas and TV.
...Well, he's a big star now but I've been a fan of his for years. The way he sings and plays guitar still bring me to tears...

Nah, Long Highway is his worst song by a country mile! :o

Long Highway is one of the best songs MK has ever written. Period.  ::)

Although these debates are fairly pointless, i`d just like to tell Tallgren - you are not alone! :)

If Early Bird had been on GL, i can guarantee 100%, no one would have said `Oooo He should have left it off....`
Hey, i`ve got a truffle dog - finally a song the ordinary man can relate too!

I probably would have actually. :)

For example, I think You Don't Know You're Born, Coyote and Daddy's Gone to Knoxville should have been left off RPD as they jar badly with the rest of the songs. Even though YDKYB and DGTK are two of the best tracks on teh album, IMO.

I also think there's a case for Don't Crash the Ambulance being left off SL, with SL itself replacing it as the last track and Summer of Love going where SL was.

Oh, and In The Sky should have been left off KTGC, because it's a pile of ******* *****.  ;)

Fred - Get Lucky doesn't appear on iTunes UK yet either, so it's not just France missing out at the moment  :(

No extra tracks on the amazon.co.uk mp3 release.

It seems that France is the only country is Europe where you cannot download the non album tracks!
So, in solidarity with the french fans, can someone upload the non album tracks in their best versions and give them in private email the link?  ???:D
