That's near impossible for me.

- All of Porcupine/My Kingdom/WithAHip - Bunnymen
- The True Wheel/Burning Airlines.../Warm Jets - Brian Eno
- She Lives on A Mountain/Faraway Eyes/ Poodle Rockin' - Gorky's Zygotic Mynci
- Come In Alone/Soon - My Bloody Valentine
- Makeout Club/So Sick/Suki - Unrest
- What Difference Does It Make/These Things Take Time - The Smiths
- Meth of A Rockette's Kick/Bronx Cheer- Mercury Rev
- Stars of Track and Field/Me and the Major- Belle and Sebastien
- Barely Legal/Soma/Is This It - The Strokes

I could keep going, there's just too many songs to list. There's probably a ton that I can't even think of right now.

Good call on the Fiery Furnaces. I think they're one of the few bands around today that are making original, legitimately good music right now. At least of the bands that I'm aware of.
I'd put Evergreen as one of my favorites of theirs. Better than the Bunnymen song of the same name!!

What? They're an awesome band. Every one of their albums is pretty damn good. I never got the spoken word album about their Grandma. That one sounded a little too weird.

Sorry, Jack, they all can't sound like the Shins!!!

Actually I think Jack was concerned about the Fiery Furnace barrage I'm about to unleash thanks to your approval.

I love Evergreen too and here Comes The Summer but I figured I'd have to include the EP album in my list.

Why aren't you over posting on the Lindsay Buckingham site if you love him so much? Shins before the Bunnymen? Diana Ross before the Bunnymen? The Beatles before the Bunnymen?

The order is not significant, as I stated in the post.
