'Float On' is a great song. What is there to dislike? It's catchy as hell...

I am among the most hardcore of their fans. it's not my absolute fave, but calling the song terrible is an overstatement.

posts like these bother me. you are shitting on someone's effort with a dismissive one-liner.

@khfreek: yes, I had made one previously, I addressed that in the post.

Oh, I wasn't trying to criticize your effort, I was just stating my opinion of that particular song.

In other news, I'm glad you included Missed the Boat as that's my favorite MM song

Stupid lyrics, worse-than-usual singing... it would be better as an instrumental lol

The vocals are catchy and that is all that matters to me about them...

I don't think "Float On" is MM's best song by any means, but it's really not *terrible*.

I mean seriously - I know so many people who are really into MM now who would never have even heard of them were it not for "Float On".

It's not their best song, but it was actually pretty important for them as a band in that it helped get their name out there a little more.

I wasn't criticising your effort, just saying I didn't like the song. I only like their first three albums really.

An Introduction to The Divine Comedy, Vol 1.

If a hybrid of Scott Walker, Elvis Costello and Prefab Sprout sounds like your thing, then search no longer. Londonderry's finest Neil Hannon has been putting out quality pop music for nearly 20 years, and this compilation should give you an idea of their 90's period, with a second covering the 2000's to follow.

9.Lucy
