    MENTAL AS ANYTHING - LIVE IT UP

    From one of the best films ever. Reminds me of my Dad. Written in 15 minutes. What's not to love?

    OASIS - CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE

    The band at the peak of their powers. B-Side to Don't Look Back In Anger (spoiler, that song might appear later), but it's so loud that it knocks over your pint and dares you to ask for a refill.

    A great original, but this is The Lads just giving it a kick up the backside. And seeing as they're labelled as a 60s and 70s cover band, I may as well stick one in.

    Some cracking songs in this thread to be fair…regarding Oasis, I think they’ve made some great songs my only criticism is that you could probably move on to the next song after the first 2 minutes because you’ll get the chorus repeat to fade for the next 20 minutes

    COUNTING CROWS - MR JONES

    Urban myth tells us this was written about the singers todger, but really it's about wanting to be famous and all that jazz. Either way it's a slippery as sin chord progression and his vocals are as smooth as silk.

    And yes, I wrote todger.

    THE LIGHTNING SEEDS - THE LIFE OF RILEY

    Etched in our minds for being the intro music to Match Of The Day, but it's a glorious piece.

    Written about his son Riley ("cradles and sleepness nights") but also obviously a play on words too, they're a brilliant band. Don't neglect them - they aren't just for World Cups.

    QUEEN - FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS

    I hate Queen generally. Overrated and glorified because of the tragic death of Freddie. But this is a certified record. There's not much to it - it does what it says on the tin, but the riff is great and the chorus is a proper shouter.

    BLUR - THE UNIVERSAL

    I always preferred Oasis to Blur (you'd never guess), but this is one of their best. Devoid of the "Blur Stomp" of Country House/Charmless Man et Al, with some strings and a chorus to die for.

    It really, really, really could happen. And it did.

    THE BEATLES - HEY JUDE

    Written for Julian Lennon (McCartney sang Hey Jules), when Johnny Boy was throwing it round with Yoko. Features the best na na naaas in pop history. Still sounds good today even though his voice has gone.

    Paul Heckingbottom on vocals there.

    I'm sure Fonzie has got some Roxy lined up (!) but I'll beat him to it:

    THE HOUSEMARTINS - CARAVAN OF LOVE

    A song that's recently become me and my mates' drunken singalong anthem. Saw Heaton live this summer and it's amazing to listen to a crowd of all ages belt it out too. Plus, Fatboy Slim looks a right tallywhacker trying to harmonise.
