Hello every one, i just entered the site, and so i would like to talk about what is the most important for me about mogwai: their music, of course. So i think everybody knows the song 2rights make one wrong, available on Mogwai's official website.
I love this song in an unimaginable way
What about you? What is your favourite(s)?

it's so hard to say. i mean, i love the simple and short "ithica 27o9" with all its raw power, and makes a great live song. "..fear satan" for it's epic approach. "friend of the night" for making pianos with distorted guitars sound so fucking good. "tracy" for beingfour minutes too long, which i would normally hate, but gives an amazing climatic feel. the instrumental version of "r u still in 2 it?".. this song simply doesn't need the lyrics, as the guitar is doing all the explaining. "we're no here" for bringing back some of the extremely loud songs we've been missing for the past couple albums. "rage:man" for it's mind-blowing guitar attack. "i know you are but what am i?", letting mogwai use their experience with keyboards and electronic stuff. ;D
you didn't expect me to list one, did you?!

Each new record produces at least one song that competes for my favourite by the band. But then again, my favourite changes often, almost from day to day. Right now, though (although I love "Helicon 1" so much, but I reckon it'll get plenty of votes), I'm going with "Ratts Of The Capital".

Live Fear Satan is the 1st 2nd and 3rd best song I've ever heard.

I'm surprised Hunted hasn't come up at all... ...so here's a vote for Hunted i've always felt that hunted by a freak was WAY overrated... i just don't see what the big deal is about the song. i'm not saying it's a bad track, just that it's not as strong as most mogwai material.
