And jeezus, 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' by Kylie Minogue is amazing.

Most of Justin Timberlake's singles have been top notch.

I really liked 'GrooveJet' by DJ Spiller and Sophie Ellis-Baxtor. GrooveJet.

Cosign.

Cansei De Ser Sexy's recent "Meeting Paris Hilton" fits the bill too, though I don't think it's gotten much radio play in the U.S.

Can't believe no one (including me) has said "Just What I Needed" by the Cars.

'If Ya Gettin' Down' by 5ive. Okay, so it's 'Last Night A DJ Saved My Life' sped up a bit. Nonetheless, it's 'Last Night A DJ Saved My Life' sped up a bit. To the dancefloor!

N'Sync - 'Pop'. I remember seeing and hearing this on Top of the Pops, and being flabbergasted.

'Airport' by The Motors. One of my favourite songs.

Orange Juice - 'Rip It Up'. Awesome - and this appears to be what I've read described as their 'disastrous second Top of the Pops appearance'. Bass players! Leave your sax player alone!

Martha and the Muffins - 'Echo Beach'. I always forget how much I love this song, then it turns up next to Orange Juice on YouTube and I remember it all over again. Yeah!

Woah. Very good call.

The RAH Band - 'Clouds Across The Moon'. Stockton-on Tees based working club band write what my mate Simon used to insist was The Greatest Story Ever Told. There can be no arguing with that chorus.

I'd also like to add Foo Fighters - Big Me and I'll Stick Around.

I will also second that Cant Get You out Of My Head by miss Minn Ough? is an incredible song.

I love this song. Part of it is b/c Chris Norman and I have eerily similar voices.


I will add Crowded House's "Don't Dream it's Over".

that is one hell of one song.
