    THE LIGHTHOUSE FAMILY - OCEAN DRIVE

    Remember summer? Remember when it was warm and you could have a beer and listen to some music whilst the sun went down. So do I.

    U2 - WITH OR WITHOUT YOU

    Bono is a sanctimonious ****** at times, but this is an utter beauty. That intro still makes me quiver like a hedgehog in immediate danger.

    NUNBER 165

    OASIS - ACQUIESCE

    We need each other. We believe in one another. Just about sums it up. Wish they still needed each other.

    This has to be one of the worst songs in recorded history. I'd rather saw my knackers off, whilst listening to Cliff Richard. I hope you were joking?

    A good one. This was written by Chris Griffiths of the Real People though and was better. Just sounds like the Real People though, but with more attitude.

    ABBA - SOS

    They were brilliant. Song after song, with melodies ingrained in everyone's memory. And this is a beauty.

    One of their best in my opinion. And it was tossed away as a b-side!! A ******* b-side to the turgid Some Might Say.

    IMO Abba’s best song by a country mile is probably their least successful, The day before you came. Absolute genius.

    THE CHARLATANS - NORTH COUNTRY BOY

    Height of the britpop movement. Great lyric I think. Itchy and Scratchy running up allies. Saw them last summer and he's still got it.

    Calling Some Might Say turgid is a Court Marshalling offence. It was a good single though, Talk Tonight and Headshrinker on there too. Nobody releases singles like this now

    I missed "by comparison" from the comment.

    Some Might Say was decent enough but was outclassed by at least two of the three b-sides.

    THE WHITE STRIPES - SEVEN NATION ARMY

    Before it was adopted by football and darts weirdos, it was a proper song. Killer baseline and drums, great solo.

    DEACON BLUE - DIGNITY

    Save your money. Go on holiday. Think about home. Think about faith.

    What a song.

    Can't believe this hasn't featured yet. I can only assume @Fonzie is saving it for his top ten.

    A lovely pop song that rattles along with gusto, and a Eurovision winner to boot. Add to that a live performance in which Jay Aston and Cheryl Baker have their skirts whipped off and it's a cracker!
    Bonus points to the songwriters for sneaking the words "take you from behind" into the lyrics. @Stephen Dawson would be proud of you.
