Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode) - Best song ever written Sharpen Up The Knives (Puressence) - Criminally underrated band, the singer has the most incredible voice I've ever heard Everlong (Foo Fighters) - Amazing song from an amazing band Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pink Floyd) - Dave Gilmour is an underrated genius Last Goodbye (Jeff Buckley) - Just awesome Can't Stand Losing You (The Police) - Could have been any one of about five Police songs really, but this is my favourite Unreadable Communication (Curve) - Can't believe anyone else on here has heard of them - Cuckoo is one of the best albums ever Hyperballad (Bjork) - Mad as a box of lightbulbs, but extremely talented - and this song is fantastic Street Spirit (Radiohead) - Not many songs make me want to cry, but this one does. It's beautiful Purity (The God Machine) - This band were amazing - sadly the bassist died of a brain haemorrhage really young, but their two albums were breathtaking. This song is the pick of the bunch Atlantic (Keane) - Hauntingly beautiful - with the best key change in the history of modern music halfway through Retread (Embrace) - Danny McNamara might not be able to sing properly, but his voice somehow works - This track isn't as well known as some of their other ones, but its beautiful Embarrassment (Madness) - Always loved them - and I remember listening to this again after not hearing it for years - it was especially poignant for me at the time as I was going out with a black girl and both of us were getting a lot of shit for it off her family. Lyrics are so simple, but so effective, and the song is as memorable as all their other stuff The Scientist (Coldplay) - Don't care how corny it is, this song is beautiful Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division) - How could anyone leave it out? How Soon Is Now (The Smiths) - Morrissey might be a twat (alright he IS a twat) but this song basically sums up my youth - pissed up in the venue, getting off with ugly slappers with this playing in the background Black (Pearl Jam) - Another singer who isn't technically brilliant, but Eddie Vedder's voice conveys so much emotion Something I Can Never Have (Nine Inch Nails) - A toss up between this and 'Hurt', but this means more to me because I listened to it a lot when I was a moody teen
Exit Music for a film - Radiohead, track 4 OK Computer. Simply put...AWESOME Citizen erased - MUSE. Totally masterful. Sometimes - James...oh yes Never Let Me Down Again (live on 101) - The brilliant Depeche
One by U2 - Sky played it after the Playoff Final (When they show clips at the end - only just caught it on the tape as I didn't set the recorder on LP - clearly wasn't expecting Pens) and every time I hear it, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!
