    THE KINKS - THE VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY

    When life was simple. Pop down to the Village Green. Have a picnic. Watch a bit of cricket. Strawberry jam and all that. Preserving the old ways from being abused.

    OASIS - WHATEVER

    The strings. The voice. The attitude. Could have been Christmas number 1 - imagine. Neil Innes made a few bob too, so everyone is happy.

    THE SWEET - BLOCKBUSTER

    Brilliant riff - better than Jean Genie what they nicked it off. Glam Rock always fascinated me - and this is one of the best. Aaaaaahhhhhhh.

    ELVIS PRESLEY - SUSPICIOUS MINDS

    A karaoke classic. What a song. Get in that jumpsuit and give it some. Then when it restarts again its even better.

    BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - WAITING ON A SUNNY DAY

    Seeing as nothing has happened so far and I don't go to games anymore then you can have this beauty. Written just after 9/11, and the good ole US of A adopted it. Its a good un.

    WE'VE SCORED. LIAM KITCHING.

    OASIS - WHO PUT THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON MY SHOULDERS

    Not even on an album. Not even a B side. Written on one of those throw away afternoons and stuck on a film soundtrack that barely anyone saw. It's amazing. The strings and guitar at the end. Noel wrote some utter bilge in the later years, and he wasted stuff like this.

    MADNESS - BAGGY TROUSERS

    Fighting with the school down the road. Dichead teachers. Lots of noise. Back of the head with a plastic cup. And that saxophone.

    EMBRACE - COME BACK TO WHAT YOU KNOW

    What a chorus. The McNamaras were a Fisher Price Oasis, but a Fisher Price Oasis is better than every other band apart from about 8 of them. Danny couldn't really sing, but when you see them live it isn't about his voice its about the tunes.

    THE BEATLES - REAL LOVE

    This is one of them songs that Paul found in the 90s. An old demo from John that was lost for 30 years. But the message its bang on. Its Real Love. That's the best kind.

    THE BLUETONES - IF

    Great bassline, this reminds me of summer. Sitting drinking **** beer with my mates down near the rugby club. Good memories.

    Completely forgot about this song!

    Prefer Slight Return but this one is decent too. Reminds me of 6th form!

    Have we had The Traveling Wilburys End of the Line? RIP some REAL Rock Legends, this is still one of my very favourite songs of all time.

    I'm annoyed because I had a memo on my phone with about 140 songs and I was gonna wing the rest.

    But I got a new phone yesterday so they're all gone. Just as we hit the top 150.

    That means I'll have to Boris my way through the top 150....
