I remember reading in High Fidelity, a use of lists,most notably song lists, that is very typical Nick Hornby. Although I actually don’t like Hornby novels, the idea is quite good and so i thought i’d make my own lists. And yes, i know they’re quite naff, but my music era was the 90’s and Noughties so don’t blame me!

Songs most suitable for thinking ‘ah the good ole days’:
Backstreet Boys – Quit Playin’ Games
Daniel Bedingfield – If You’re Not the One
The Calling – Wherever you Will Go
Bic Runga – Sway
Wham! – Last Christmas

Songs that make me wanna bop me head just a lil bit:
Orson – No Tomorrow
The Foundations – Build Me Up Buttercup
Chesney Hawkes – The One and Only (go on, admit it..)
Beyonce – Crazy in Love
Eminem – Shake That

Best Songs that someone else referred me to/I downloaded ignorantly:
Musiq Soulchild – Don’t Change
Craig David – Sorry (Just Don’t Love You No More)
Jewel – You Were Meant for Me
Five for Fighting – Superman
112 – Cupid
Brian McKnight – Still, Back at One

Best songs that hold, like, a message.
Good Charlotte – Hold On
Linkin Park – Numb
Jason Mraz – The Remedy
Cranberries- Zombie
Sarah McLachlan – Angel

Songs I wish I were old enough to appreciate at the time:
George Michael – Careless Whisper
Billie Holiday – Summertime
Ben E. King – Stand By Me
Elvis Presley – Love me Tender
Prince – Kiss

Songs that give the original a run for its money:
Soul for Real – Lets Stay Together
