Radiohead : The Daily Mail
Love the way this track builds from a soft piano start to a monster of brass that hits hard at the end. Never get bored of listening to this.
Doves: The Cedar Room
This song holds lots of fond memories from seeing Doves play to it soundtracking many a long drive on tour. From the hypnotic intro to the euphoric chorus highs. There’s always room on the stereo for it.
ALT J: Fitzpleasure
This track is here representing the album ‘An Awesome Wave’. I could listen to that album from start to finish over and over. This track has it all from grit to grace. Top stuff.
Dr Dre: Next episode
Never gets old. This and ‘Still Dre’ actually. Great energy in both the production and delivery. Always gets turned up when it comes on.
The Beatles: Tomorrow never knows
How can you not keep playing this track?
Pushing the boundaries for it’s time and still sounds just as fresh today.
