I remember reading in High Fidelity, a use of lists,most notably song lists, that is very typical Nick Hornby. Although I actually don't like Hornby novels, the idea is quite good and so i thought i'd make my own lists. And yes, i know they're quite naff, but my music era was the 90's and Noughties so don't blame me!
Songs most suitable for thinking 'ah the good ole days':
Backstreet Boys - Quit Playin' Games
Daniel Bedingfield - If You're Not the One
The Calling - Wherever you Will Go
Bic Runga - Sway
Wham! - Last Christmas
Songs that make me wanna bop me head just a lil bit:
Orson - No Tomorrow
The Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup
Chesney Hawkes - The One and Only (go on, admit it..)
