I find things like this very interesting, and after chucking out a few songs to @lisam75 today on Twitter, I decided to post this. Basically, I want you to go through the letters of the alphabet and name your favourite artist from each letter, and your favourite song by them.

I’m doing it for selfish reasons, as I like knowing what people listen to – and it always gives me great ideas on what to listen to next. Here is my list (queue slagging off for my ‘taste’ in music):

A – Arcade Fire – Keep The Car Running
B – Byrds – Mr Tambourine Man
C – Cribs – Mens Needs
D – David Essex – Hold Me Close
E – Erasure – Freedom
F – Filthy Dukes – Nonsense In The Dark
G – Gerry Rafferty – Streets of London
H – Happy Mondays – Lazy Itis
I – Inspiral Carpets – This Is How It Feels
J – Jose Gonzale – Heartbeats
K – Killers – Mr Brightside
L – Lily Allen – The Fear
M – Mumford And Sons – Little Lion Man
N – Noah & The Whale – Five Years Time
O – OMD – Forever Live & Die
P – Pet Shop Boys – Left To My Own Devices
Q – Queensryche – Silent Lucidity
R – REM – Me In Honey
S – Simon & Garfunkel – He Was My Brother
T – Two Door Cinema Club – Do You Want It All
U – Ultravox – No Regrets
V – Velvet Undergroud – I’m Sticking With You
W – The Who – My Generation
X – struggling – any suggestions?
Y – Yazoo – Nobodys Diary
Z – struggling, any suggestions?

Now off you go – time to beat me up because I picked some lame tunes :)
