Daddy, make a picture

The challenge from Mac — list the top five songs on your iPod / whatever that automatically make you cool, hip, ‘must be cool if you like these songs’ songs:

In no particular order, the top five plays on my iPod:

• Roadrunner - Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers
• I Could Be Happy (Martin Rushent Remix) - Altered Images
• Hallelujah / Club Mix - Happy Mondays
• Blue Monday / Remix - Flunk… but of course the New Order original will always make me happy
• My Brain is Hanging Upside Down - Ramones

I could add to that anything by Motorhead, Joy Division, X, the Jam, Gang of Four, Shack or the Fall would impress the bejesus out of me if I found it on your iPod.

And by the way, the new Brian Wilson SMiLE is just…. amazing.
