Day 13
Sinead O’Connor
The Emperor’s New Clothes
3:45-5:17
Try not playing air drums to this barrelling finale! John Reynolds plays the actual ones, with Andy Rourke on bass & Marco Pirroni on guitar.

Day 12 (playing catch-up 😜)
The Stone Roses
Standing Here
3:07-5:07
Any band which could put this & Mersey Paradise on a B-side was on its A-game.

Day 11 (playing catch-up 😜)
Madonna
Til Death Do Us Part
4:45-5.19
One final run of the brilliantly urgent keyboard riff on this magnificent, albeit relatively unheralded, peak-period Madonna tune.

It’s very possibly in my all-time top 10 albums.
PS I’m gonna shout up another track off the same album…
Ah, cheers John 👍

Day 10 (playing catch-up 😜)
The Boo Radleys
Wilder
2:59-6:57
A lithe & graceful play-out which is in no particular hurry to get where it needs to go, and nor should it be.

Great shout 👌
Great shout. It’s absolutely wonderful.

Day 9 (playing catch-up 😜)
Prince
Computer Blue
2:15-4:00
Hard to say exactly where this outro starts, but what’s not in doubt is that Prince could play guitar.

Day 8 (playing catch-up 😜)
Supergrass
Moving
3:36-4:29
This gorgeous & wistful passage of music is a great example of a fade-out coda which leaves you desperately wanting more.

Nice mate 👍

Day 7 (playing catch-up 😜)
Shack - Soldier Man

Good luck Bill 👍👍👍

Day 4 (playing catch-up 😜)
Blur - Coffee & TV
4:00-5:17
This cyclical, addictive outtro could go on for about six hours & I’d never get bored of it.

Day 3 (playing catch-up 😜)
Suede - We Are The Pigs
2:48-4:20

Day 1 (playing catch-up 😜)
The Smiths - Well I Wonder
03:18-4:00
It somehow took me 35 years to truly notice the delicate beauty of this almost-flamenco-like vignette, only for it to be washed away by rainfall.
youtu.be/6psa1ptpGTc?...
Right mate, I’m in! I’ll be playing catch-up as of tomorrow 👍
Great shout 👍
Great shout 👌
Another zinger of an outtro which would 💯 be in my list too! I’m a bit late to this but may need to get involved!!
Fantastic shout 🔥
That’s a fantastic shout 🔥
Top work Arron & Merry Christmas! I’ve only got 5 choices in the top 50 - there are quite a few staples which, for whatever reason, just don’t light my fire! And I’m including Amerie in that! But a great challenge all round, thanks again 👍👍👍
Yup. Good call re: TU too. And that record had (at least) three more grade-A potential singles on it in Girl Overboard, Black Jacks & Control Of The Knife 🔥🔥🔥
