No. 92: Jurassic 5 – Concrete Schoolyard (1997)

I’m counting down my 100 favourite songs of all time. To keep this from becoming a Bob Dylan / Tom Waits love-in, only one track per artist is allowed. Go to 91: Hyperballad by Bjork Go to 93: Transmission by Joy Division I'm not 100% certain, but it’s probably the second half of 1998. It’s definitely past midnight and I’m surely in an all-too familiar position: planted on a sofa in front the TV, entranced by MTV ’s 120 Minutes . The alternative music show was essentially anti-MTV: low-budget videos by non-chart-bothering artists with hardly any commercial breaks. That’s why it was on so late, but being both a night owl and music lover, it seemed made for me. Perhaps my memory is too hazy and my recollection of two hours of unadulterated quality isn’t quite accurate. But my rosy nostalgia is fuelled by the certainty that one special night I heard two songs that had a profound impact on my musical life. The second we’ll come to at a later date, the first was Jurassic 5 .

No. 75: No Diggity by Blackstreet featuring Dr Dre and Queen Pen (1996)

I’m counting down my 100 favourite songs of all time. To keep this from becoming a Bob Dylan / Tom Waits love-in, only one track per artist is allowed. Go to 74 Go to 76 Another Level is easily Blackstreet ’s most successful album. Yet the band’s co-founder and prime producer Teddy Riley doesn't think that the record has a signature Blackstreet song on it. You may also know Another Level as the No Diggity album. At first, I thought Riley’s reluctance to give No Diggity signature song status was the Dre-effect. The NWA producer not only provides the track’s opening verse (“giving ‘em eargasms with my mellow accent”), No Diggity also features uncredited production from him. Dr Dre had originally created the No Diggity beat for Death Row Records labelmate Tupac Shakur . But after falling out with the rapper and the label’s notorious head honcho Suge Knight , he brought the beat to Riley. Tupac later used the song’s backing track to diss Dre on Toss It Up , wh

No. 74: Donnie Darko by Let's Eat Grandma (2018)

I’m counting down my 100 favourite songs of all time. To keep this from becoming a Bob Dylan / Tom Waits love-in, only one track per artist is allowed. Go to 73 Go to 75 When I young and bored, I often passed the time by flicking through the telephone directory. I’d look up people I knew or search for funny names. Sometimes I’d pick a random person and wonder who they were. With just a name, address and phone number, I didn’t have a lot to go on, but it was something to do that fired my imagination. This was the late 80s in a small town in the southwest of Ireland. There wasn’t a lot going on. The playground with a slide that could slice your leg open became a halting site. The cinema closed down not long after I went to see Tim Burton ’s Batman as advertised but instead got The Karate Kid III . The only book of interest to me in the local library was Ian Rush ’s exceedingly dull autobiography – though to be fair that may have been largely due to my football-focused monoma
