1. Disco Boogie Song (Live) – We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It – If I had a band all we would do is cover this song for 20 minutes and then leave the exhilarated audience screaming their approval! With a zipped out two note synth leading the way, and Magz improvising a call to dance – Grade: A+

2. A Couple Of Swells – Fred Astaire And Judy Garlands – Best bit on this Irving Berlin classic? Where they would tell you who they were out with last night but they can't be cads – Grade: A+

3. Money For Nothing – Dire Straits – Mark Knopfler's devastating take down of "Teen Mom" – Grade: B+

5. Candy – Robbie Williams – What hurts is the knowledge this great modified ska track won't hit the charts in the States – Grade: A

6. All We All We Are – Pink – Sure, it's great but is it enough? – Grade:A-

7. Fantastic Baby – BIGBANG – Electronic dance track K-Pop style. Dunno what they're saying half the time but somehow I imagine it doesn't much matter – Grade: B+

8. Motown Junk – Manic Street Preachers – The Public Enemy sample "revolution"  intro is one thing, the "I laughed when Lennon was shot" something else, but "songs of love echo underclass betrayal" another thing entirely – Grade: A+

10. Something's Gone Wrong Again – The Buzzcocks – Story of my life – Grade: B+
