Belle & Sebastian - The Blues Are Still Blue

Bloc Party - So Here We Are. this was actually a really hard choice, but So Here We Are has such a mixture of memories all associated with different emotions for me that it just stuck out a little bit more.

Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run. Classic.

Frank Turner - Romantic Fatigue, a song that really sticks with me.

Funeral For A Friend - Was going to say She Drive Me To Daytime TV, but then I swung to something slightly out and have to say Red is the New Black

Get Cape Wear Cape Fly - Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.

Hell Is For Heroes - You Drove Me To It

Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American (its been my ring tone for years)

The Knife - Heartbeats or Silent Shout (too hard to choose)

Hell Is For Heroes - never heard

Jimmy Eat World - The Middle (The same as with DT.)

Pennywise - never listened

Placebo - Every Me, Every You (Catchy as hell, and I love Brian Molko's singing.)

Andrew Jackson Jihad - We Didn't Come Here To Rock I couldn't say why. Probably the lyrics.

Bloc Party - Helicopter as I made a music video for it in college at it was awesome.

Bruce Springsteen - I'm not a huge fan, but I can't help but love Born To Run.

Frank Turner - This one is hard. He is so good at writing catchy songs. At the moment, The Road is permanently engraved in my head, but Once We Were Anarchists has always been my favourite.

Get Cape Wear Cape Fly - I hate this guy now, but I must admit, I loved I Spy at the time.

Jimmy Eat World - The Middle maybe, but that is just plucking one from the air.

The Knife - I only really know Weekends and Bleak Days.

Lionel Richie - WHAT A FEELING! WHEN YOUR DANCING ON THE CEILING!

Maximo Park - Gotta love Apply Some Pressure.

Placebo - Every You Every Me, but I will also mention Infra-Red because no one liked that song, but I did

Queen - Thanks to David Bowie, Under Pressure.

Snow Patrol - Run. Always.

Sugababes - In The Middle, because it is fun.

[METALMAN]

Isn't Weekends and Bleak days by the Young Knives?

[Walker]

Yes ... I get confused by words really easily.
