There’s a good reason why the Stones’ back catalogue has aged so well, it’s because it’s as good as it gets. Imagine people 500 years from now (assuming our species survives our own excesses) listening to this very song and kicking it hard on a Friday night.
Muse – Feeling Good
This version of Feeling Good by Muse has to be heard to be believed. It’s that fucking good.
Pink Floyd – Shine On You Crazy Diamond
I spoke with an Irishman in San Francisco many years ago, and he told me of how he and a friend went to an event at the planetarium where there was a computer-generated 3-D visual display that gave the viewer the impression of flying through space.

Paul Weller – The Changing Man
Weller is a musical genius and this is one of his best. Enjoy!
Billy Bragg – A New England
This beautiful ballad is representative of the decent people of England and their strong folk tradition.
Linkin Park – Burn It Down
Jess Greenberg (Hendrix cover) – Little Wing
This is a truly amazing cover of the Hendrix classic, or so I’ve been told as I couldn’t really hear the music, I got distracted. Joking aside, Jess Greenberg has a beautiful voice and can really handle the guitar.
Crossroads Soundtrack – Willie Brown Blues
The Big Lebowski – Just Dropped In
I can’t go past this one. Turn that dial right up, draw the curtains, do your mad thang…
The Pogues – I’m A Man You Don’t Meet Every Day
This is a gentle, old ballad from Ireland, performed by one of the greatest groups of all. The lyrics are kinda sad yet happy at the same time. I know, I know, the contradiction pains me too.
Captain SKA – Liar Liar
One of the best ways to fight the good fight, is through the medium of music. This song is a perfect example of that, and true.
The Pogues – Lullaby Of London
This is a beautifully gentle song from one of the greatest bands of all time, and from one of the greatest songwriters.
