Oh Christ a Valerie-off. Jesus. Well I despise the Winehouse version as it’s the most overplayed song there’s ever been outside of Blurred Lines, Uptown Funk and Happy. I’ll reluctantly go with Zutons.

Arctic Monkeys When the Sun Goes Down. That Sheffield grit is great in it.

Paper Planes by MIA because the bang bang bang part makes you feel gangster as f*ck when you motion gunshots along with it.

Electric Nitwit

Eminem - Lose Yourself just an awesome tune

The Coral - Dreaming of you very tough call there, The Coral have more personal memories though

White Stripes - Seven Nation Army all together now, Ja-vier Maschera-a-ano!

Temper Trap very tough, changed my mind a few times here. This is a great song

Linkin Park - In The End I tried so hard, and got so far! Fecking love LP

Linkin Park - Numb all day long, love LP, hate KoL

Eminem feat. Dido - Stan so good that for a while I thought I liked Dido!

Stereophonics - Dakota it makes me feel like the one

The Zutons - Valerie Mark Ronson is a cancerous growth in music's prostrate

Feeder - Feeling A Moment both brilliant, but this is more "me". As in, I nominated it!

The Knife - We Share Our Mother's Health easy one

Abstain on the last, not a fan of either
