#8 of my top 30 songs of all time

04/04/2013

#8 Papa don’t take no mess – James Brown James Brown was a game changer, he brought black music into the charts and later in his carreer also became a political force too. His personal life was a rollercoaster, but his music remained solid, mainly sue to his amazing band including Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley (who […]

#9 of my top 30 songs of all time

#9 Beats to the Rhyme – Run DMC As a Hip Hop DJ in my youth I wasn’t much of a Run DMC fan to be honest, until I saw them live at Manchester Apollo in the late 80’s with their support band The Beastie Boys. What a show! The late Jam Master Jay just walked on stage with […]

#10 of my top 30 songs of all time

04/04/2013

My top ten – here we go…. #10 Here comes the sun – The Beatles My favourite Beatles song,  a family favourite of ours. I guess I’m a George Harrison fan as my favourite Beatles songs are all his. He wrote this positive song at a tough time in his life and as The Beatles became more and more fractured. Astronomer and science populariser Carl […]

#11 A touch of Jazz – DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince An instrumental classic produced by Jazzy Jeff (Will Smith’s partner and best mate in the 80’s!). Me and my Dad used to listen to this, i loved Hip Hop, he loved Jazz, its was a great middle ground for a teen and […]

#12 Diamonds on the soles of her shoes – Paul Simon Taken from one of the biggest and best albums ever, the seminal Graceland album, now over 25 years ago. I first heard this when my Dad played it, then my then girlfriend (now wife!) Clare played it a lot too, so it became pretty engrained in my mind for […]

#13 of my top 30 songs of all time

#13 Grace – U2 After been given the book “What’s so amazing about grace?”, Bono wrote this beautiful song. I don’t like religion and rules, but i love real practical faith based on this thing called grace. It’s life-changing stuff. Bono speaks more here – http://www.thepoachedegg.net/the-poached-egg/2010/09/bono-interview-grace-over-karma.html  My blurb about mytop30… I now have 15,906 songs in […]

#14 of my top 30 songs of all time

01/04/2013

#14 Melt – Leftfield Probably the best ambient / chill out tune of all time. Great instrumentals are hard to find, this is the ultimate. Press pause, take 5 minutes out now and just listen (with good speakers or headphones for full effect). Amazing that the band who produced Afrika Shox also produced this. I now have 15,906 songs in […]

#15 of my top 30 songs of all time

01/04/2013

#15 Afrika Shox – Leftfield Leftfield have been one of favourite bands for years now since my friend Simon introduced them to me. Their albums are now maybe the only albums that i listen to in full. This is perfect production, apparently they took a whole year to find the right snare drum  for this song! Now thats dedication. I now have 15,906 […]

#16 Azzido Da Bass – Dooms Night (Timo Maas Remix) Probably my favourite ‘breakz’ dance tune, I used to play this when i was DJ-ing and it always made the place go wild, great breakdowns and BIG bass. Great dance music, maybe even the forerunner of dub step. Makes you drive faster – beware! I […]

#17 Ain’t Nobody – Rufus and Chaka Khan This was our first dance at our wedding, I also remember breakdancing to it when i was a kid in a school disco (!) It was also featured in the Film “Breakdance – the movie” (or “Breakin’” as it was known in the states). A great 80’s […]
