Maybe I'm being a bit harsh. She's very sweet and there's nothing wrong with her performance or the song, I just don't like the collaborations much. Especially where you don't get any JDB vocal at all.

Early demoes and remixes. I never listen to them.

I have to agree on the banker number bit. I mentioned in another thread how it hasn't aged at all well - and it's only from 2007.

Topics like this really illustrate how subjective music is; many songs mentioned here are favourites of mine.

'Richard Nixon' a prime example; I think it's an excellent single, many here feel it's very poor.

On listening to Lipstick Traces again recently I found Close My Eyes intolerable. Not for the music, which is really good, but the lyrics about how awful it is having to go on tour. 'Just a job I get well paid for' indeed

Yourself and Gold Against the Soul (song) have no charm and no life imo... That album has a lot of strong numbers but when it's weak it's really piss poor!

Wattsville Blues. The worst part is James' backing vocals, taunting us about how great this song could've been if someone, anyone other than Nicky was singing it.

Agree, Nixon in my top 5.
