27. The Cure - Charlotte Sometimes
I loved the way a lot of 80s bands released numerous stand alone singles, this is one of the best of the decade

28. The Smiths - Panic
How Soon Is Now is a bit of a grey area as it appeared on both Hatful of Hollow and the US version of Meat is Murder. So many Smiths songs to choose from, but I love Panic and The Draize Train was a superb b side

Manic Street Preachers, with Super Furry Animals as support, Point Depot Dublin (now 3Arena), June 1999.
A great first gig, followed 3 weeks later by REM at Landsdowne Road, hooked on live music ever since!
