I kept this song on repeat for a good chunk of my time spent playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3. I’m a firm believer that a good Australian pop punk tune is essential, if you’re going for those four million point combos in the airport level.

Here’s a laid back dance groove from Michael Jackson’s last studio album, Invincible.
As far as side projects go, this is the one that’s always impressed me the most.
The lead singer/songwriter from Blur doesn’t just start up some new band on the side. No, he goes ahead with the creator of Tank Girl, and manufactures this cartoon band, that still manages to come across as more genuine than most of the “real” acts out there.
I’ve always been a fan of a solid outro, and this track from Matthew Good Band’s hugely successful album, Beautiful Midnight, has a pretty great one.
I present concrete proof that pop-punk can make any scenario (including zombie outbreaks) seem much more fun than you’d expect.
A really sweet blues-rock tune from The Black Keys’ fourth album, Magic Potion.
Another example of the live version really bringing a song to another level.
The studio version of The Jack is your everyday blues jam about STIs. Toss 65 000 fans into the mix though, and you’ve got yourself a sing-along burlesque show, starring a middle-aged man in a schoolboy uniform.
I didn’t listen to a ton of German metal growing up, but for some reason, I always enjoyed this song.
It also holds the honour of being the first MP3 that I ever downloaded.
This Celtic rock gem from Scottish band Big Country, never fails to make me think of Canada.
I wholeheartedly salute whoever decided punk music could do with more trombone.
This particular track’s the lead single off The Mighty Mighty Bosstone’s major label debut, Don’t Know How To Party.
