Name at least six of your all-time favourite songs?

I Feel Fine - The Beatles. Banger, which was the first song to use feedback, but didn’t even make it on to a Beatles album because Ringo didn’t like it.

Common People - Pulp. A song which defines an entire generation of people. The rich trying to doss it, while the working class try and live above their station.

Disco 2000 - Pulp. Great story about some tragic loser who devotes his life to a woman called Deborah, who isn’t into him, we all know someone like this. Although what really makes it for me is. the increasing amount of sadness and venom in Cocker’s voice as he laments her developing airs and graces. Which is both a great bit of social commentary and general brilliance on his part.

Octopus’ Garden - The Beatles I just enjoy this because of Lennon taking the piss out of Ringo with the backing vocals, while George is the only one to have some sympathy for him, delivering an intro and solo which is amongst the best in The Beatles catalogue; even if the song itself overall, really isn’t.

The Mercy Seat - Nick Cave. I’d rank it as the best song all of time. The increasing frustration, desperation and finally acceptable in the lyrics and the vocal is just brilliant.

She Smiled Sweetly - Rolling Stones. Reminds me of some pretty dark times, when the pain and suffering are almost unbearable, but then a woman smiles at you, and your troubles are suddenly gone. At least for a few minutes.

on Disco 2000, that’s why I love Common People. Jarvis goes from light hearted to venomous brilliantly as the song goes on. Disco 2000 would easily be in my top 50 list as well.
