14. Grand Drive - Wheels
There are certainly more obvious #SweetKeys moments on this album, but I'm opting for the album opener with its organ intro, just cos I like the song so much!

11. Fionn Regan - Vodka Sorrow
Fionn ditches his guitar on this haunting piano driven track. Pretty sure he used to close out his gigs with this one.

10. Bobby D - Like A Rolling Stone
Sticking with the sweet (organ) keys ... I just like the story of how the organ part of this song came to be. A great 'right place right time' story ..

8. Taylor Swift ft. Bon Iver - Exile
My kids listen to Ms. Swift a lot. It must've rubbed off on me as this song has become a favourite of mine, it's absolutely superb.

6. Hope Of The States - The Red The White The Black The Blue
Really sad what happened with Hope Of The States. This album, and this song in particular, is brilliant though. The driving & hard hitting piano makes the song what it is.

30. Underdog (Save Me) by Turin Brakes
This contains my favourite acoustic guitar solo from any song. Bit of a shame they released this so early in their career cos they've never been able to top it.

17. Before I Forget by Slipknot
I adore Slipknot. More of a fan of their 10s output rather than their 00s output, but still one of the best bands of the decade. This tune is one of many I could've chosen!
