Song: When I’m Home

Artist: Michael McDonald, St. Louis

Album: That Was Then (demos), 1982

Song: Stars

Artist: Simply Red, Manchester, England

Album: Stars, 1991

Notes: Parent album sold seven million worldwide - and about seven in the US. Pop/rock/soul perfection by Mick Hucknall.

Song: Uncertain Smile

Artist: The The, London, England

Album: Soul Mining, 1981

Notes: Sensational cut from Matt Johnson aka The The, featuring stellar piano chops by Jools Holland.

Song: Su Melodia

Artist: Federico Aubele, Argentina

Album: Panamericana, 2007

Notes: Easy-swaying, cool, Latin/reggae stylings of uber-hip Aubele. Four albums, all fab.

Song: Valerie

Artist: Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse, Notting Hill, England

Album: Version, 2007

Notes: Winehouse's clever retro-filled producer, with top vocal help from still-troubled Winehouse.

Song: Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Artist: Oasis, Manchester, England

Album: Heathen Chemistry, 2002

Notes: Anthemic rock ballad, written by Noel, sung by Liam - who detest each other causing demise of band (for now).

Song: Livin’ Thing

Artist: Electric Light Orchestra, Birmingham, England

Notes: Least Fashionable Song of the Week, the melodramatic but still winning cut, written, sung and produced by Jeff Lynne (now ace producer).

Song: Lovey Dovey

Artist: World Leader Pretend, New Orleans

Notes: Outstanding Beatles-esque, two minutes of aural bliss. Band's name came from an R.E.M. song.

Notes: A lost diamond by singer-songwriter, Alison Sudol, aka A Fine Frenzy.

Song: I’ll Forget You

Artist: Peter Bradley Adams, Birmingham, Alabama

Album: A Thousand Words, 2008

Notes: Wacky, worthwhile music from Arne Van Petegem, pioneer of the obscure 'Glitch Electronica' scene.

Song: Shame

Artist: Robbie Williams & Gary Barlow, Manchester, England

Album: In and Out of Consciousness, 2010

Notes: Hook-filled ballad by ex-Take That pop band members (now reunited after a 15-year feud).

Song: On The Sly

Artist: Metric, Canada

Song: I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down

Artist: Elvis Costello, London, England

Album: Get Happy, 1980

Song: Miss Sarajevo

Artist: Passengers, Ireland/Italy
