The “Best Songs Ever” category is the place where I step away from all the new music, and look at the songs I really think are amazing from the past. First out is a very underrated band, in my opinion, That Petrol Emotion.
They made several wonderful albums, and the first ones, Manic Pop Thrill and Babble, are among my all time favourites. I especially like their slower, calmer songs, like this one from Manic Pop Thrill.
Perfect.

Ha, 2 years later! Why there aren’t a million comments here I’ll never know.
Some songs are classics. A hundred or a thousand years later doesn’t change them because they tap into that musical magic that connects us all. This is one of them. A band with a passionate name, full of meaning, and their songs are the same. Some of my favorites are this one, Cellophane, and Every Bit Hurts. Indeed, That Petrol Emotion was very underrated. Perhaps if their hair was bigger, or there were more songs about cars or money, they might have sold records. But that’s not what their fans care about. This one for sure.
This is definitely a song that should get the classic label. They made so many great songs through their career. I don’t like everything, but the ones I like, I love. “Cellophane” is brilliant, both melodically and the arrangement, and so is “Every little bit” (I guess that is the one you are talking about?). Also “It’s a good thing”, “Natural kind of joy”, “Blindspot”, “Lettuce”, “Big decision”etc are all beautiful songs.
