This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

1. Lately I've let things slide
2. The rose of England
3. American squirm (EC's best ever backing vocal)
4. All men are liars
5. I love the sound of breaking glass
6. Let's stay in and make love
7. Cruel to be kind (original B-side version)
8. Half a boy and half a man
9. Halfway to paradise
10. LAFS

Quite a lot of agreement in some of the choices (I guess Nick is hardly prolific).
