Band of Horses - Detlef Schrempf

Screaming Trees - Revelator (I could choose from loads of theirs but this is the current favourite)

New Order - Ceremony (the original version, not the one on Substance)

Afghan Whigs - Miles Iz Ded (single version, not LP)

Dinosaur Jr - Pick Me Up

The Fire Theft  - Heaven

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Taste of Cindy

Brian Eno - The True Wheel

Supersuckers - Dead Homiez (Ice Cube cover)

Melvins - Revolve

Mate, I managed to annoy myself with the top 10 kid's TV shows so there's no way I can do 10 songs. 

 

If it makes it any better I reckon Touch Me I'm Sick would have a good chance of making it. 

Just pick ten dead quickly like I did.  Nobody will think anything less of you if you leave Mudhoney out.
