Songs involving the theme of photography, looking at photos, taking photos, etc.
BEST - Turning Japanese by the Vapors - Great new wave power pop song that never fails to get me bouncing...
WORST - that new single by Nickelback - a turgid piece of crap that is spiritual nails upon the chalkboard of my soul. And I'm Canadian. (it is however the inspiration for this thread so if it's been done before, blame Nickelback becuase they suck.)
your choices? |

All good:
Picture This - Blondie
Paint A Vulgar Picture - The Smiths
Pictures of Lily - The Who
I'm Not Angry - Elvis
Girls on Film - Duran Duran
I've Seen Your Picture - FB+TheCs
Pictures of You - The Cure
Pictures of pandas painting - from the new TMBG kids' CD
Pictures Of Matchstick Men - Status Quo song, covered by CVB
People Take Pictures of Each Other and Picture Book - both on the Kinks' amazing The Village Green Preservation Society
The worst ever has got to be that centerfold song by J. Geils Band, Angel is the Centerfold, I think it's called?
I got some heaven in my head

The Kinks - Picture Book & People Take Pictures Of Each Other
Pixies - Motorway To Roswell ("and photographs in faaaa-iles"...)
are the only ones that come to mind right now. And nothing that would qualify as "worst".

Photograph by Def Leppard-great guitars. Early days of MTV. Indelibly etched into my mind. Would I listen to it now? Probably not, but it was pretty amazing to a little kid at the time.
Also like Camper's cover of Ringo's "Photograph".
I tend to think of human beings as huge rubbery test tubes, too, with chemical reactions seething inside |

The Young Fresh Fellows do a really cool cover of the Kinks' "Picture Book."
Also, Sloan's song "The Lines You Amend" makes a reference to the Ringo song, so I guess that's one degree of separation from the topic, or something like that.

Good:
Camera-REM. Written for a friend (of Stipe, I think), who died.

I'll have to agree with Chip Away Boy here, as far as the best goes.

Pyromania was fantastic when it came. I checked out my old vinyl copy this summer. A little dramatic perhaps - but photograph is still a good song. And die hard the hunter. And foolin.
And centerfold is good.
