It is strange talking to people who have only come across Poison Girls through You tube or other internet streams. There seems to be only a few tracks that get any attention. So I want to ask older friends which tracks they think have been overlooked, and hopefully provide some pointers for new listeners
for me
1. Ideologically Unsound
2. Underbitch
3. Cry no More
4. Done It All Before
5. Feeling The Pinch
That will do for today!
Let us know what you think
Richard

Tough to pick only 5.
In no particular order and nothing really obscure:
Persons Unknown - compelling and spooky, like a monster coming through the darkness in a 50’s sci fi movie.
I’ve Done It All Before - I would LOVE to have heard a Frank Sinatra or Nina Simone version of this one, a real classic love/relationship song of experience. Heard nothing else like it before or since.
Menage Abbatoir - funky and danceable and cheeky lyrics.
Rio Disco Stink - funky and danceable too and full of bile shot in the right direction.
Are You Happy Now? (7 inch version) - great harmonies, should have got you on TOTP!

Apologies, I can't pick five only. But again in no particular order:
Lovers are they worth it?
Ideologically unsound
Promenade immortelle/dirty work (sorry! inseparable)
The price of grain and the price of blood
(Another hero
Hole in the wall
Underbitch
Alienation)
Take the toys (+ reprise - it'd be rude not to...)
Reality attack
I'm not sure that these have necessarily been overlooked - they're certainly tracks I'd tip as being essential PG. Ok, it may appear unimaginative to have a whole side of CB in my top 10 but some things just cannot be prised apart.

Well thanks for the contributions so far. Nice choices!
I was reading a thread about 'protest songs' on the Guardian website today (yes I know!) and was thinking about the track 'Statement'. Seems to say it all.
Remember you can find lyrics, more information and downloads (free, donations welcome!) of nearly all Poison Girls tracks on the website (Poisongirls.co.uk)

Just discovered there was a forum section to the site, and am pretty excited that it is being maintained by none other than a poison girl himself!
Limiting it to 5 is tough, but here goes:
Underbitch
Rio Disco Stink
Done It All Before
Mirrors & Glass
Cupid
Those are the songs that have been currently looping through my brain - however, in a hypothetical, if someone were to start twisting my arm and demanded that I list another set of 5 favorites, then that list would look like this:
Fear Of Freedom
Fuckin' Mother
Crisis
Riot In My Mind
Ménage Abattoir
