Across to the Twin Cities in my B100 favourite songs list for “Makes No Sense At All” by influential 80s rock legends Husker Du.

B100: #55 “Therefore, I Am” by Jim O’Rourke

The invigoratingly propulsive groove of “Therefore, I Am” by Jim O’Rourke from 2001 takes us midway through the 50s of my B100 favourite songs ranking.

379 to 50: #3 “Everything Flows” by Teenage Fanclub

The bronze medal slot in my favourite songs rundown goes to Glasgow’s finest, Teenage Fanclub, with the ramshackle charm of “Everything Flows”, their tuneful opening statement of intent from 1990.

379 to 50: #11 “You Made Me Realise” by My Bloody Valentine

Just ahead of the top ten for my favourite songs list, there’s another tough choice in picking just one My Bloody Valentine tune, but I have gone for their first Creation release, “You Made Me Realise” from 1988.

397 to 50: #23 “Teen Age Riot” by Sonic Youth

Back to New York again for the third time in the 20s of my top 50 songs countdown, with 1988’s “Teen Age Riot” from noisily melodic art rockers Sonic Youth.

379 to 50: #44 “They Live By Night” by The Make-Up

Welcoming the “gospel yeh-yeh sound” into the 379 to 50 rundown, “They Live By Night” by The Make-Up; as featured on their 1996 debut album “Destination: Love – Live! At Cold Rice”.
