No.1 is..................... .......... .... George Harrison-CrackerBox Palace qB5ekVklcSc PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO!!! What can i say apart from "Wasnt George looking healthy"??? John lennon is also in the video as the woman at the beggining. It was from 1976....etc.... I hope you all enjoyed my little countdown, i hope you all took the time to read, and watch my favourite songs.

Yeah, shes good isnt she!!! A right little Bamba Gasgoine (As Den Perry from Pheonix Nights Would Say)

No.2-Lulu-The Man With The Golden Gun iYYaFibEus0 The video bores me so i setled on the opening of the film. This isnt strictly rock-But It does rock (Get It???) Arguably the best bond song ever. She had a very good voice, although not as good as Shirly Bassey, now she could sing. (Proof is in the new Marks and Speencers Advert. One of the worst (But In my eyes best) Bond films. It had little/or no plot. I really dont see how they went through with making the film, all it is is roger moore trying to find scaramanga and in the bog climax theres an explosion. Also, its another ending at sea (If you actually look in to it, evry bond film bar goldfinger and die another day end at sea)

No.3-Electric Light Orchestra-Mr. BlueSky 4T-bZoN1QfY The first time i ever heard this was on Episode 10 of the sedcond new series of Doctor who, the episode with peter kay. The story was about a group of people who had all had encounters with the doctor, and all met once a week to try and find out more about him.....so on and so on....And evry so often this song would start playing. The next monday i couldnt get it out of my head. I had to get this song. Its ridiculasly catchy, and is one of THE best songs EVER!! It was on my MP3 for about 2 months, i could never get tired of this song.

No.4-Blur-Sunday Sunday yLxLkaZKYWQ My favourite blur single, released back in 1993 and reached no.26. The opening image in the video is the single cover. The bands profilehad took a turn for the worst by the time they released this album (Modern Life Is Rubbish). What little popularity they had won over in 1992 had now dissapeared and they could only chart at No.26 (About 3 singles in a row reached this!!) But in my eyes, its they second best abum, it was so brit pop. At least they beat oasis to the No.1 slot once!!

No.5-Hot Hot Heat-Bandages gN_HsTueI2g When this track was origanly released in 2003, the BBC banned it because of the war in Iracq!!! Their second album (Elevator) was much better than the first (Make Up The Breakdown) although the first album peformed better on the charts, with this single reaching No.26, their highest charting to date. The band are currently working on their 3rd album which they state will be out in december (I really doubt it, they havent even finished recording it)

wings are the band the beatles could have been

No.6-Paul Mccartney and Wings-Magneto And Titanium Man JTlibVHCFDo Now the fun really starts! No-One. I repeat, NO ONE will be able to watch this without tapping an foot, or, Two. This videos from their massive Wings over America Tour, in 1976. The songs actually from Venus and Mars in 1974 and was a B-sidde to The single Venus AndMars/Rockshow witch went to No.44. Hes My least favourite beatle, i always prefered Ringo. Although paul did have loads of good songs, sadly, im not gonna put more than one of one artist.

i never said it was going to be entirely rock and indie. im glad your enjoying it but have you actually watched evry video like i watched evry video of yours????

No.7-Beatles-Revolution wVHuFuyFoUI Isnt It strange with beatles Videos how you can never quite tell if it was live?? John lennon really shouldnt have grown that beard in a few months time, it made him look at least 40 when he was really only 29. One of the best beatles songs, and even better is the much softer version on the white album - "Revolution No.2" (I think its called that, and no, i dont men the stupid nine minuite vesion called Revolution No.9) I liked ringos hair. Did you know that ringo starr has never NOT HAD a beard or Moustaches since 1967????

No.8-Hard-Fi-Living For The Weekend SV-RRd_nxJg (I settled on this semi live performance ( Well, I think its semi live, it might be fully live) Released back in September '05, although in my eyes would have suited august much better as its a very summery song and was always played as the opening titles song to all the big festivals. More "Ive Got no money, No home, no friends" lyrics. The storylines for Hard-Fis songs are usually the girlfriends pregnent and hes lost hes job, but he wants to go and party. The song was recorded in a Ex-Taxi Office

No.9-John Lennon and The Plastic Ono Band-Power To The People Wos-dDxpJlQ Another Top ten single, This was released shortly after The Beatles had disbanded. (Many were unhappy with them splitting, and blamed Yoko, but i would of been happy. As instead of one Beatles album per year, youd now get Four solo albums) This is my fav john lennon single (Apart From Mind Games, Starting Over, Nobody Told Me, No.9 Dream, Instant Karma and others)

No.10-T.Rex-The Groover bAsDSFLeoJE T.Rex's last ever Top 10 single (Reached No.4 in 1973) It seemed a turning point in their history. Early next year they would loose their first member, Drummer Bill Legend. Two Backing vocalists had been added to the ever growing line up. By 1974 their line up Was: Singer/Lead Guitar, Bassist, Drummer, Drummer, Guitar, Bongos/Congas, Backing Vox, Backing Vox, Keyboards. Some say this was the end of T.Rex, but i say this was the beggining. The next few albums, were, in my eyes, The bext t.rex albums ever made. But alas, many did not agree and as T.rex sliped in and out of Obscureity (With the oddd hot single here and there) they would never be this populer again

No.11-Alan Partridge-ABBA Medley eiI5-c6GNz8 Classic!! I couldnt resist!

No.12-The Hives-A.K.A-I.D.I.O.T Xh_fVSBEgKA Good Bit of Drum Opening..! Arnt they Brilliant?? And isnt it amazing how theyve kept their record deal with a person who cant sing?? Although they are sweddish...So what do you expect?? Though ABBA were sweddish, and managed to knock out hot after hit (Volouz Vouz is my fav)

No.13-G.U.N-Crazy You cjpAawWPFJA G.U.N!!!!!!! 1997!!!!! T In The Park!!!!! Ha-Ha. Anyone who says this bands rubbish just watch those fans when the song starts. Watch them Jump to the catchy beat of the song. I fail to see anyone not like this song. It reached No.21 in 1997 and was followed by their last album to date. Strange how it dont show much of the guitarest, although he was slowly getting balder (Hes completely bald now) and i suspect he was embarresd. Either that or he was camera shy (But im with the first reason)

No.14-The Upper Room-Black And White g49VWCxiOYM First heard of this band when i saw them supporting El Presidente in Feb in Aberdeen, and i wasnt really impressed. But then the next day when i was at home, i saw them on channel 457 (B4). The video was called "All over this town". I ended up buying it. Then in may they released this, its much better than All over.... although this performance is a bit iffy.... Watch him try and hot those high notes!!!

No.15-Ringo Starr-La Di Da 6R8KZstyeaE Ringos Big Come Back!!!! From the album Vertical man (Which also featured a duet track with Ozzy Osbourn) This song was hailed as his big comeback, but sadly it was knowhere near as succesfull as he thought it would be. In fact the record company decided not to release it!!!! It does feature Sir Paul on backing vox though!

No.16-Adam Ant-Vive Le Rock obXBhSraP3s 1985. Adam had once been the most populer, most loved teenage idol. But had all changed by 1985. After splitting from The Ants in 1982, he realeased two solo albums (1982's Friend Or Foe (Which Reached No.5 and 1983's Strip (Which only scrapped to No.20) The lead singe from strip was "Puss 'n' Boots", which charted at No.5, but the follow up single (The title Track "Strip") Was banned by The bbc and therefor only managed to chart at No.43. In late 1984 he released appolo 9 which reached No.13. In 1985 he was billed for live aid. But a few hours before hes performance, he was aproached by people in suits and told his set had been changed to one song. Rather than perform an old classic like "Antmusic" or "Stand And Deliver", he chose to plug hes new single, Vive le Rock. Hes out of breath performance was probably the reason it only reached No.50..... :rolleyes:

No.17-Queen-Keep Yourself Alive 9Oo-J_ng2EA Queens first single EVER, from their 1st album released a week later, "Queen". Easily one of their best songs, queen must have thought this aswell, as it stayed in their live set untill 1985. Rememberd most for, as the "One with the drum solo". Thats most likely as to why they dropped it from their set, as Roger was now becoming old and couldnt do the solos. (In Fact he hadnt been doing the drum solo part since the Hot Space tour in 1981) This version has arguably got THE best drum solo ever. it starts around 2:15

No.18-Darkness-Black Shuck Uli63Xkcyg This is live at Brixton Academy in 2003 when they were easily the most populer rock band in england. A year what saw hot singles such as I Believe In A Thing Called Love and Christmas Time (Dont Let The Bells End) and the release of their Multi Platnum album "Permission To Land".

No.19-Scissor Sisters-Every Body Wants The Same Thing (Live at V Festival) PPc_xA3pNEA The only good american band apart from Anything asociated with prince. This song was one of the first tracks from Ta-Dah played live, this is a clip from V2005. Much slower than the actual album version and not as good, the vocals are too strong in this version.

My version of Grimly's large colection of vids. No.20-El Presidente-100MPH 0bSu4hWDgf4 This band obviously were going to feature more than once on my top 20 and thee is possibly no other song better to start my countdown than this! Released May 2nd 2005 on Two cd formats and A special limited amount of YELLOW (!) 7" vinyl. It was the bands first full release for Sony/BMG, and charted at No.37. Something still remainds a mystery though. No-one really kn ows who plays on it. Guitarest Johnny Mcglynn and Bassist Thomas Mcniece and Laura Marks joined November 2004, So this song Definately oesent Feature Them (But it does feature the drummer Dawn Zhu) Its also one of the only El Presidente songs with a guitar solo.

Cocteau Twins and sonic youth, curve, spaceman 3 and interpol. ill do one el pres and one gun song! it wont only be indie though, theyll be some different stuff aswell

no i didnt buy it, i havent brought nme for months. they were to nasty about the darkness
