meets 's Eleven Points.

Through all their incarnations, the Sugababes were pop gold. For me, this is their crowning moment of awesome, written by Cathy Dennis but Dr Luke.

For the video, the girl gang spend an evening on the South Bank, while some fit bloke makes a beeline for them.

For the song, it's fizz and crackle and buzz and tension and intensity, and it all resolves in the most glorious keychange of joy.

The section begins with *the* greatest emo ballad of all time.

Ednaswap wrote the song, they were a post-grunge band who found a home in tired/regretful/annoyed songs from the heart. Basically, emo before anyone had invented emo.

In the video, holds it together while living the lyric, all while filming the video. It's all very meta-textual.

The song still sounds fresh and vital.

In all seriousness, I considered "We all stand together" for last year. was inerrant in '84.

So was and Wham!, In retrospect, "Everything she wants" could be a rough sketch of the themes George would reach on "Listen Without Prejudice".

you know, and they play the rarer "soft drink can" video, not the one in usual rotation.

"Step off" gets into the studio next week...

isn't the only massive music poll. Dutch radio station NPO Radio 2 runs an annual list of the most popular songs of all time ever. I've been dipping in for the last few days, it's always an enjoyable and completely random selection.

But how does @nonoxcol 's stack up against the NPO ? There's only one way to find out: research!

The final post in is a love letter to "Snap", Rosa Linn's song.

It means a lot to me. I was honestly surprised by how much it does mean to me.

In another place, I'm doing . It's fifty of the best songs since punk and disco began. I'm relating the songs to events in my life, almost an .

Entry 45: "Say you love me" - Voodoo Hussy

An unknown band release their one single. The song sells to their fan base and nobody else.

A long read.
