34 (26) Smiths - Big Mouth Strikes Again - Music this good makes me feel sorry for teenagers today, that there is nothing in the indie genre at the moment as brilliant as The Smiths (although the Arctic Monkeys come close) were in their short lived heyday (1983-1987). Sublime Johnny Marr guitar playing featuring a viscereal set of Stephen Morrissey lyrics.

38 (**) Eurythmics - When Tomorrow Comes

40 (23) Madonna - Live To Tell
