Jaydee - Plastic Dreams

Now THAT'S something you don't see listed every day - fair play! First heard this on the "Loved Up" soundtrack and still love it (the single disc issue of the "Loved up" soundtrack is far superior in mix terms to the double disc reissue :))

Teenage Kicks - Undertones (Peel was right)
Party in Paris - UK Subs
Penny lane - Beatles
Mad about you - belinda Carlisle (so shoot me - that guitar break rocks)
The jack that house built - Jack 'n Chill
Night train - Guns 'n Roses

So what if that's 6?

BTW - I'd have put "Queen bitch" by Bowie on there, but some short-sighted buffoon never released it as a single.
