Yes that was indeed as Eurythmics,

"Biffy Clyro - God & Satan
Plus 100 others but that is an amazing tune
Fantastic song
Many of horror ? "
I could just list every song TBH.
Many of Horror, bubbles, machines, Falling Stars, Saturday Superhouse, Questions and Answers, livings a problem, Black Chandelier, Biblical, Blackened Sky, Justaboy, there's no such thing as a jaggy snake, a whole child ago, glitter and trauma, and etc etc etc.
Clearly my favourite albums are Puzzle and Only Revolutions, but it's all great stuff really. |
