We've all done it. I went through a stage with my friends (in my teens) when we must have halved HMV's profits.
Naughty boy!

We wouldn't want to hear that you've been scraped off the floor someday would we?
S'alright, I only did it once the other day for a 2 minute journey.
I'm no rebel.

Mmm I like lists. And I like lists about music. I'm always thinking of ‘High Fidelity' style lists. Here's my top 10, but it will change in about an hour or so when I realise I've forgotten something. Unlike zooo and Ruby mine don't have links, because I don't know how to do them and I can't really be bothered. This has already taken FAR too much time!
Oasis - Live Forever
Such a simple, yet amazing song. Has one of my favourite lines in "Maybe I will never be/All the things I'd like to be/But now is not the time to cry/Now's the time to find out why". And I love the line "We see things they'll never see" too. And the guitar solo in it is really good. My list of favourite songs will always change but this one will stay right at the top for good.
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Kind of like John Lennon's Imagine, this one has an extra meaning and extra poignancy thanks to Ian Curtis' death. It has a catchy-as-hell bassline, and very emotive lyrics which I like.
Robbie Williams - Angels
A guilty pleasure of mine. This is a great song. It's basically a pop version of Oasis' Don't Look Back In Anger, the two are actually very similar. Seeing Robbie Williams live and have a 70,000 odd audience all singing this song was pretty special.
The Others - Stan Bowles
This song, and this band, bring around some great memories. I met some of my now best friends through this band. I've been to a lot of gigs but The Others are one of the best live bands I've seen, their gigs are always f**king mental. I've seen them 13 times, the best time was at an NME Awards show at Astoria when The Others played higher up the bill than The Subways, and supported The Ordinary Boys, and blew both of them off the stage. The Astoria was absolutely rocking. Then NME turned on the band and slagged them off to death, causing a lot of fickle fans to stop supporting them. Which is a great shame.
Pete Doherty - Albion
The version of Albion that's in my list is not the version Babyshambles released, but the demo Pete Doherty recorded on his own with just a harmonica and an acoustic guitar when he was still in The Libertines. It's a beautiful song, a testament to the talent that Pete really holds. And at the end of the song, just to cap it all off, Carl walks into the room with a takeaway and interrupts Pete.
The Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now
Written at the time The Libertines were spectacularly imploding, this song really brings to light the fraught relationship between Pete Doherty and Carl Barat. This is a song that is truly written right from the core of the heart - you can tell from watching live performances of this song, just before The Libertines broke up, that it's painful for them both to sing it. The contrast between the lines written and sung by Carl and Pete gives you both sides of the story - they're baring their heart and their friendship for everyone to see and sometimes it got too much - Pete has stormed off stage during performances of this song, claiming Carl "looked at him funny". And with lines like "An ending fitting for the start/You twist and tore our love apart" and "No you've got it the wrong way round/You shut me out and blamed it on the brown/Cornered the boy kicked out at the world/The world kicked back a lot f**king harder", it's easy to see why.
The Beatles - A Day in the Life
The obligatory top 10 Beatles song. There's lots to choose from, but I think this beats the competition. I think the Lennon part of the song is much better than the McCartney part though, and I'm not too fond of the orchestral crescendo in the middle. But nevertheless, it's a fantastic song. And right after the final chord of the song, is a tone too high pitched for humans to hear, which Lennon allegedly intended to use it to "irritate the listener's dog". Gets my vote.
Kings of Leon - Fans
I've been listening to Kings of Leon non stop for a few weeks now, and f**k me they're good. This is the highlight of their third album, Caleb's vocals on it are truly awesome. They're inaudible a lot of the time, but it still sounds really sweet.
The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
It was a toss up between this, This Charming Man, and I Know It's Over. It's a typical Smiths song - dark lyrics but with a beautiful melody and vocals that make it somehow uplifting and almost (almost!) cheerful.
Oasis - The Masterplan
It's a second Oasis song, but it's too good not to have in my list. Regarded by many as one of Oasis' best songs (Noel Gallagher also views it as his finest piece of work to date). And yet it was only a b-side to Wonderwall. It shows just how talented and creative Oasis were in their early days, when an album of b-sides (also called The Masterplan) is just as good as their best (the first two) studio albums. Half The World Away, Rockin' Chair, Acquiesce and Talk Tonight could have easily made this list, and they're all Oasis b-sides.
Honourable mentions to:
The Jam - In The City/Absolute Beginners/That's Entertainment
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees/No Suprises/High and Dry/The Tourist/Lucky
Bright Eyes - Old Soul Song/First Day Of My Life
Robbie Williams - Come Undone
Take That - Babe/Never Forget (FUCK, how I forgot that I don't know. I would put it in my top 10 in place of something but that would mean what I'd written about that song would go to waste. Argh. This is tough, this.)
The Stone Roses - She Bangs The Drums/Sally Cinnamon
The Verve - Sonnet/Lucky Man/The Drugs Don't Work
The Who - My Generation/Won't Get Fooled Again
OK - here we go.
You really got me - The Kinks
California Dreaming - Mamas & Papas
I saw the light - Todd Rundgren
Somebody told me - the Killers
In my life - the Beatles
Boys keep swinging - David Bowie (or almost anything)
Reward - Teardrop Explodes
Killing Moon - Echo & the Bunnymen
See Emily play - Pink Floyd
Tired of being alone - Al Green
Private number - Judy Clay & William Bell
Streetlufe - Roxy Music
Crazy - Knarls Berkeley
Alone again or - Love
You keep me hanging on - Vanilla Fudge
Afterglow - Small Faces
oh I could go on and on..........

Songs, songs, songs.
Wake Up - Arcade Fire: Hearing this live is one of the best moments of my life. This isn't the performance I saw unfortunately. Worth watching though.
Another Nail In My Heart - Squeeze: On one of our family holiday Squeeze's greatest hits was all we listened to. No real poignancy to the song for me, but I can always link this back to that time.
Hold Me - Savage Garden: Forgive the poor taste but this is rooted in my 'childhood'. My one brief romance, back when romance merely meant kissing her on the station platform.
The City Is At Standstill - Liam Frost & The Slowdown Family: Love, love, love this song. Fills my head with images of me and friends chasing the streetlights across an abandoned London. It's a hopeful song for me, full of potential friends and romances.
Send Me On My Way: Got to be the happiest song I've ever heard. This is playing in my head whenever I'm gleeful.
Wind - Akeboshi: Really love this. It's inspirational for me, not desperately sure why though.
(Antichrist Television Blues) - Arcade Fire: I'd have their whole back catalogue on here if I could be bothered with all the links. I love them so much.
Honourable mentions:
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
In My Place - Coldplay
Hey Jude - The Beatles
Girl - Beck
So that's my playlist. Apologies if any of the videos are poor, I just scanned them to make sure it was the right song.

It's amazing! I can send it over msn if you want? I think you'll like it, just Pete and his guitar with a bit of harmonica over the top. Luvverly.

Could you put it on Mediafire if that's possible? Sounds quite interesting.
