Gang of Four evoke poignancy for the economic plight of a working-class Falklands soldier while blasting the validation of male status through militarist violence he succumbs to. Was banned by 1982 radio stations.

Unabashed fan of this band. Not choosing one of their more cool early songs, but the one that critics found finally too much: Sting proclaiming himself the ‘king of pain’. But this rather tasteless, OTT melodrama was always what I loved about them.

dEUS are the best thing to come out of Belgium bar Tintin & chocolates. Upon hearing this song on the radio in 96 they became one of my favourite bands. A really pretty song, melancholic & autumnal.

Day 1
Some classic boomer rock. Meddle is my favourite Floyd album. Some of the Barrett era stuff is exquisite, don’t get me wrong, but the mid-era songs were truly expansive while yet to slide into Waters’ indulgent rock aristocrat melancholia..1/

Day 2
A thrilling record. The high-water mark of hip hop. A dark, densely layered modernist collage. Apocalyptic imagery of prisons and devils. A beautiful wall of structured, compressed rage — relentless, unstoppable.

#All5orts - I have about 40 that are definitely in, I think I will have to look through every CD on the shelves and see if a song jumps out! I’m not including any tracks I don’t have as a physical copy
Currently whittling down my #All5ORTS shortlist using the cunning tactic of removing songs that were in fact singles..
#All5orts - trying to decide how many Elephant6 band album tracks will be too much? I’ve got too many albums, and still I don’t think I’ll pick any album tracks that anyone else picks, as I doubt anyone else is thinking ‘what’s my favourite Servotron album song?’
#1C000LEST
I love all of them but I’ve always preferred Paul.
This is my favourite single but have to wait till #ALL5ORTS for my top Beatles song.
17. Hey Jude by The Beatles 1968
