- “Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards” – Billy Bragg
- “A Century of Fakers” – Belle & Sebastien
- “Let’s Get Out of This Country” – Camera Obscura
- “The Queen is Dead” – The Smiths
- “We’ll Sweep out the Ashes in the Morning” – Gram Parsons
- “Love will Tear Us Apart” – Joy Division
- “I Wanna Be Adored” – The Stone Roses
- “Should I Stay Or Should I Go” – The Clash
- “The Song is Over” – The Who
- “God Knows I’m Good” – David Bowie
- “Double Crossin Time” – John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers
- “You Get What You Deserve” – Big Star

And, of course, George Jones’ “I’ve Aged Twenty Years in Five”…
