- 1. "Sweet Surrender" by Tim Buckley: "This is a really great performance. Sounds like it's live too. (And if it wasn't , it still sounds like it.....) The whole album is brilliant, intense and raw. And his voice is really strange and beautiful and delinquent."
- 2. "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding: "Just a contemplative, moving, bluesy soul. It is so short (2'.39"). But it still feels epic. Philosophy made pop."
- 3. "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck: "Just always stuck in my mind.......It's in 5/4 so it shouldn't really feel as natural as it does. It's just perfect pop jazz. Yes, I know it's from a long time ago........Moses liked it too. He listened to this one while crossing the desert on the run from the Egyptians!"
- 6. "It's All Over Now" by The Rolling Stones: "To me that was the Stones. They looked best then. They still had a fairly composmentos (sic) Brian Jones who I loved. That LP has just got so many great songs. before Mic got too 70's and drooly.......fake southern-accented whisky out of it stuff. This was hard edged pop.I truly love it."
- 7. "White Room" by Cream: "I mean Harvest and After The Goldrush...any track you like from these records. Harvest was the first LP I bought with my own cash. That says it all really. He said it all with simple words and beautiful melodies creating something so light and yet so heavy."
- 8. "Don't Bogart Me (a.k.a. Don't Bogart That Joint)" by The Fraternity of Man: "This was my first encounter with the hippy revolution after the White Album's heavier moments.....It was how I first heard so many great American songs of a particular period. 'Don't Bogart That Joint", 'If You Want To Be A Bird,' 'If Six Was Nine,' and the great Steppenwolf tracks. F-*-*-k-i-n-g- Great!"
- 9. "Life During Wartime" by Talking Heads: "I was in a record store and was buying something else when I walked up to the counter this was playing and I just thought 'F**king Jell, this is amazing' and just asked the girl to give me whatever this was, as well! My ears discovered Talking Heads for me!"
- 10. "Seven Seas" by Echo & The Bunnymen: "I love this CD. Ocean Rain. Love Mac's lyrics and the tunes. Love Pete DeFreitas's drumming and the band's familiar interactions. Shame they came second in the U2 v Echo contest."
- 11. "Sign 'O' the Times" by Prince: "It was impossible but true. I'd never heard anything like it. It's that guy-on-his-own-in-the-studio-thing again. I stuck with him 'til Lovesexy (and yes there's a couple of tracks since then but.....)"
- 12. "There She Goes" by The La's: "I just think that Lee Mavers wrote some absolutely briliant songs. They come straight out of the ether but end up as pure pop. He's a classic."
- 13. "Loser" by Beck: "It's that individual thing again. It is crazy but completely natural. I mean what the hell is the lyric in the backwards vocalising in the chorus meant to be.......It is rootsy and completely original. I love that."
