Ms Dynamite

Because....

Gomez

Because why have to have a massive SSL desk and a big fancy producer to make a great album when sometimes just an 8 track and a garage will do just fine...

Justice

Because regardless of overplay, this still is a classic...

Jona Lewie

Because where does everyone go at parties?...

The Cure

Because I had to pick this one song out of a hat as they have so many classics...

Nightmares on Wax

Because...well does this even need an intro or explanation?...

Jazzy Jeff

Because with tunes like this you could almost forgive him for his earlier collaborative work...

White Stripes

Because this is possibly one of the best in the under-rated artform of music video...

Cream

Because few can hold a candle to Clapton on guitar...

Coldplay

Because we all have our guilty pleasures pt.2 (well the early stuff, not when they became faux-U2)...

New Radicals

Because we all have our guilty pleasures...

Rahzel

Because all sounds are made by his mouth...

Queen

Because I couldn't do rock Fridays without this little number...

Dubukas

Because there hasn't been a moment in the last twelve hours since I heard it first, that I haven't been listening to or humming this tune...

The Charlatans

Because the weight of the music outstrips the ridiculousness of the haircuts...

Goldie

Because if ever a song title summed up a song, this would be it...

Timber Timbre

Because there may be a bang of PJ Harvey off this but it still rocks...

Peter Skellern

Because sunday mornings should always be soundtracked to this piece of music...

Public Enemy

Because politics and music can rarely mix, but this is one of the rare examples...

22-20's

Because it's friday bitches, let's rock...

Jean Knight

Because I bet you can't listen to this without thinking you've now got an afro...

Django Django

Because this is one of my favourite albums of the last 12 months...

The Police

Because listen to the bass line, seriously...

Womack and Womack

Because this is a stone wall classic...

Benny Goodman

Because Jazz, nice...

Jeru Da Damaja

Because 'now it's Uzi's, MACs, and G packs'...

Blind Melon

Because this hails from a time when shirts were flannel, boots were desert, and the center of a musical genre was Seattle...

Darondo

Because sometimes everything ain't enough...
