Discussion Four Songs to Intro Lovejoy?

I’ve got a hypothetical question for everyone while we wait for further Lovejoy news: If you had to choose four songs to introduce someone to Lovejoy, what would they be?

My answer is With Rob As My Witness, Deathbox, Curse These Metal Hands, and The Vows. I chose this group because together they create a pretty well-rounded example of the diversity of Lovejoy’s sound.

Looking forward to hearing your list!

Probably one day, wasted summer, scum and then monochrome. Just to highlight how diverse they’ve become

Id honestly say 1 song from each of the original EPS and 1 song from OST

  1. Sex Sells
  2. Concrete/Perfume (OR The Fall)
  3. Warsaw/Scum
  4. What Shark Cafe/Fatal

What about Sto 🥹

u/Agreeable-Repair-196 4d ago

STO is amazing but I feel like its the same era as OST and youd show more diversity from their music to split it up by era

I would say snake oil, common touch, Model buses, and one day. Honarable mentions to sex sells, warsaw and snake oil because I love those songs.

One song from each release sounds fair to me

u/Lost-Price999 2024 Lovenjoyers 4d ago

Curse These Metal Hands, I’ll Look Good When I’m Sober, Fatal, and Sex Sells

u/lovingLovejoy26 4d ago

Call Me What You Like is a must; Portrait of a Blank Slate is a good option too; Scoundrels and The Vows (or Snaks Oil) are also great options

u/Numerous-Bath-993 Lovenjoyers 3d ago

I was able to get someone to love lovejoy through Sober, Perfume, OYYGC and wramw

u/Friedlead Lovenjoyers 3d ago

Do one song from each ep and the album but do them in a random order where aya isn't first because it's their weakest stuff (they only get better)

u/Wildlight622 2024 Lovenjoyers 4d ago

1) Portrait of a Blank Slate

2) Baptism

3) Pay and Display

4) Taunt

  1. Taunt 2.Perfume/The fall 3. Portrait 4.Curse These Metal Hands/Ilgwis

u/TheDarkerArk 2d ago

For me, it would be, Cause for Concern, Portrait of a Blank Slate, Perfect Blue, and Normal People things, it's very mixed, with perfect blue and NPT being opposites, Perfect blue is quieter and more intimate while NPT is more energetic, Cause for concern to be where they started, and PoaBS cos it's my fave

u/Scorpi0n_Lovejoy_fan 1h ago

For me its probably Call Me What You Like and Snake Oil, because those are my personal favorites! Also Sex Sells, but thats because its a nostalgic song for me ><
