I love reading the top lists of other people, whether it be music, books or film, since it helps me discover new music. This page gathers together the forty essays I wrote on my Top 40 songs. Maybe you’ve never heard of Beirut or U.N.K.L.E but if you give them a listen perhaps you’ll find some music you like.
1. Elvis Costello – Oliver’s Army
2. Manic Street Preachers – A Design for Life
5. The Smiths – This Charming Man
6. Madness – Night Boat to Cairo
9. Faith No More – Everything’s Ruined
11. Depeche Mode – Enjoy the Silence
13. The Clash – London Calling
17. Roxy Music – Same Old Scene
23. Presidents of the United States of America – Peaches
25. The Prodigy – Smack My Bitch Up
26. Grace Jones – Walking in the Rain
28. Public Image Limited – Public Image
29. Fishbone – Sunless Saturday

And I am sad there is no place for Primal Scream, XTC, The Sex Pistols, The Jam, Kaiser Chiefs, Killing Joke, Radiohead, The Sugarcubes or Sonic Youth’s Kool Thing, when I could have played this video from Simple Men:
“I can’t stand the quiet!”
