3. Death Disco (12”) - Public Image Limited
it has to be the extended version. the single version finishes around the 4 minute mark, and for the remainder the listener is left with some of the most sublime playing ever recorded while the band go off exploring

2. Sexy Sadie - The Beatles
from 2:15 onwards, Lennon pleading almost childlike “made a fool of everyone / however big you think you are” across Harrison lead guitar riff and McCartney’s (par for the course) sublime bass. and Ringo responds in kind…

1. Mellow Song - Blur
interesting that my first entry is over half the actual song (!), but i’ve said it before; from 1:45 onwards (when the band come it) is my favourite moment in their amazing catalogue

28. 4’ 33” - John Cage (1952)
i’m not even convinced this can be classed as instrumental, but it certainly has no vocals… either way, i couldn’t resist!

it’s a great joy to be able to play an instrument, regardless of ability

28. Paperback Writer - The Beatles (1966)
for years i took no notice of this song. it was good, but they had much better tracks that i enjoyed more. but i heard it again recently and was blown away. this fucking rocks and the lyrics are just brilliant!

i am prepared to wager a small bet he doesn’t, but will have a smarmy answer lined up as a retort..

27. Aumgn - Can (1971)
really not enough characters to even begin to describe what is going on here. but suffice to say it manages to be experimental, alarming, inspired, irritating, hypnotic, boring, comical and self indulgent all at the same time

good choice! was only playing Antbox yesterday, thinking how raw and exciting the early lineup was

27. Doncamatic - Gorillaz (2010)
the problem with being as prolific as Damon Albarn is some songs do not get the attention they deserve (as another one is sure to be on its way). but this is a great pop song that sits nicely alongside his best singles

26. Equinoxe Part 5 - Jean-Michel Jarre (1978)
Jarre undeniably deserves immense credit for his influence on music over the years. i could have equally picked anything off the sublime Oxygene lp, but i always loved this wonderful song as a child

26. Little Johnny Jewel (Parts 1 & 2) - Televison (1975)
never mind year zero, when it comes to punk/new wave/etc, this is song zero; everything happened from here on in. a combination of spare, almost primitive production capturing playing of finesse

25. Gray Prison Blues - The Lovin’ Spoonful (1966)
i have always liked the two soundtracks released by this ridiculously underrated band. these lps are full of wonderful short instrumentals that remind me of some of the Beach Boys Smile bootlegs
youtu.be/uDfMYMuH1v4?...
well We Love You / Dandelion was an undeniably great single, as was I Can See For Miles. but absolutely by 1968 everyone was “back to basics”, apparently inspired by The Basement Tapes bootlegs widely in circulation

25. King Midas In Reverse - The Hollies (1967)
The Hollies go full blown psychedelic in this utterly brilliant song. the record buying public go “err, no thanks” and the single pretty much flops. Graham Nash goes to California and doesn’t come back

that’s a brilliant story! thanks for sharing that 👍
