    I've just checked on my Hits 6 vinyl. It's not on there. 'Something inside so strong' is though. I'll check to see if it's got a riff.*

    *what's a riff. Is it a talky bit like human league used to do. With morals in?

    A riff ...

    ... is like one half of a comedy double act. Riff and Raff for example.
    Ant and Dec
    Gaz and IOW

    Don't know about "ever"

    Because invariably I list some and 10 mins later think of something else

    but just some that I like

    Every Me, Every You - Placebo
    Peace Sells - Megadeth
    For Whom The Bells Toll - Metallica
    Judith - A Perfect Circle
    Roll The Fire - Conception
