🏆🥇1 | On Top

Coming out On Top of the list is this synth-heavy track from the debut. When people talk about how only the first half of Hot Fuss has great songs, I assume their views can't be trusted 🤣

Day 9 (unranked)

a-ha | Hunting High and Low

It's been a constant in my top 10 songs for 40 years. Some people think they only did Take On Me 🤷🏻‍♂️

3 | Bling (Confessions of a King)

This album track from Sam's Town is a huge live favourite.

The video from their Royal Albert Hall show captures it perfectly 🔥

OMD | Souvenir

I told myself not to write that it's the greatest Wirral song of all time. I failed.

5 | Deadlines and Commitments

The finest moment on Battle Born. I've always considered Brandon to be very cool. Until my dad heard me playing this in the car and said it sounded like Chris de Burgh 🤪

I still struggle with the fact that they created this 30 years on. Has become my favourite Suede song 🖤

Not many takers which is sad. I'm enjoying my list anyway 🤣🤣

6 | Change Your Mind

The most ridiculous decision was made to replace this with Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll on the UK version of Hot Fuss.

I didn't even know this song until 2 years ago. UK fans were cheated.

I've had to otherwise it would have been too much Kate Bush, The Blue Nile and New Order! It helped to stop me banging my head against the wall 🤣
