1. 3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds – Jefferson Airplane – 10 years after this was released it sounded hopelessly dated, 35 years after it was released it sounds like another form of  modern indie. Go figure.

2. The Walk – Mayer Hawthorne – Blue eyed soul, cool last time round,. This time? A little less so.

3. The Boat That I Row – Neil Diamond – More than a stop gap on the way to "I'm A Believer", a lesson in the transition from tin pan alley to post-Beatles pop rock.

4. To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High) – Ryan Adams – Lest we forget, there was a time he could do this.

5. Come Out And Play – The Offsprings – Ooooh, "you gotta keep them separated"… and then a surf and my turf guitar solo.

6. Pretty Boy Floyd – The Byrds – Very impressive Guthrie cover really, who else could have written "some rob you with a six gun, some with a fountain pen"?

7. Kids – MGMT – Made them stars, then they didn't know what to do with it.

8. Hi Ho Silver Lining – Jeff Beck – Made him a pop star, then he didn't know what to do with it.

9.Growing Her Wings – Lauren Alaina – Country slice of a teenage girls life.

10. Time Is Money (Bastard) – Swans – Noisy rhyhm heavy experimental noise rock from way back.
