Great stuff. I've given these tunes at least a couple of listens each to try and whittle them down to a top three and I can only apologise to those who've missed the cut, there are some belters this month. Have a virtual pat on the back and treat yourselves to a big bag of cheesy Wotsits 👏

Down on the Farm - UK Subs

I Don't Wanna Grow Up - Tom Waits or Ramones

Born to Be Sold - Transvision Vamp

Ich Will - Rammstein

Little Scratch - Captain Beefheart

Straight to Hell - Clash

Judge Fudge - Happy Mondays

In 1977, a recording of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" was included on a golden disc sent to space with the Voyager mission. Many life forms in the universe were lucky enough to hear Chuck's finest moment. However, someone must've lobbed a CD of Motorhead up into the big black sometime in the 80s because it certainly inspired Illegal Alien. Led by frontbeing Lem-Mi, Illegal Alien are The Hardest Working Band in the Cosmos. And, one of the hardest to listen to. Enjoy or endure, the decision is yours!

Dancing Fool - Frank Zappa

Up the Down Escalator - Chameleons

Doo Wah Diddy - Manfred Mann

Yep, it's Jones on bass apart from the already recorded "Anarchy in the UK". They even put something 'subsonic' contributed by Sid underneath "Bodies"!

whoops

Glen Matlock? Sacked by the Sex Pistols in early 1977, rejoined in 1996 for the Filthy Lucre reunion tour as his replacement Sid Vicious was somewhat unavailable having died in February 1979.

007 (Shanty Town) - Desmond Dekker

5:15 - The Who

This Is Not a Love Song - Public Image Limited

I'm Waiting for the Man - Velvet Underground

She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby

The Who's My Generation was how we always ended. Good crowd singalong, they always shouted the f word over the 'f-f-f-fade away' line and there's the noisey outro where you can thank them for coming or whatever and milk the applause. And there's the bass solo, too.

Alone Again Or - Love

Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter - Iron Maiden

All By Myself - Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers

Mickey - Toni Basil
