- 1. "Eet" by Regina Spektor: "Inscrutable, beautiful and undeniable brilliance. There are so many layers to this song."
- 2. "Backwell" by Beak>: "Spare, haunting, first-take-beauty from this anti-Medeski, Martin and Wood trio"
- 3. "In Ear Park" by Department of Eagles: "I love this kind of baroque, tightly arranged, art rock that, like all the best music, rewards repeated listening."
- 4. "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver: "I'd fallen out of love with lovelorn, acoustic singer songwriter stuff until I heard this. Utterly beguiling and unlike a lot of music these days - it takes it time."
- 5. "Aurora" by Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto: "The piano master and composer paired with the groundbreaking electronic artist to make this totally unique sound that could have only originated in the 21st century."
- 6. "Small Metal Gods" by David Sylvian: "Underneath the obtuse and mournful layers lies a song of simple beauty. Mr Sylvian probably has the most beautiful voice in the world."
- 7. "Why Try To Change Me Now?" by Frank Sinatra: "A standard, sung by the voice who set the standard. It doesn't get any better."
- 8. "Gorilla" by James Taylor: "A lesser known gem from JT. Anyone who can approximate the sound of a gorilla within a song and still make it musical is alright in my book."
- 9. "Sky Might Fall" by Kid Cudi: "Analogue heaven and impressionistic beats mixed with surreal rhymes. Really original hip-hop."
- 10. "Believer" by Susanna and the Magical Orchestra: "So empty it hurts - why add things when the voice and the song is this magical?"
- 11. "Sex, Love & Money" by Mos Def: "An enduring favourite of mine that begs to be repeated whenever it comes on the stereo."
- 12. "Madame" by Tom Cawley & Kit Downes: "Piano teacher and student (and two of the finest jazz musicians to come out of the UK) team up to make a piano duet album of rare beauty."
- 13. "That Was the Worst Christmas Ever!" by Sufjan Stevens: "The saddest and most beautiful Christmas song in existence."
- 14. "Love Me Some You" by Harry Connick, Jr.: "Harry proving his talent not only as a piano player, singer and orchestrator but also as a songwriter and lyricist. A curious and brilliant song."
