Magazine- Shot By Both Sides

Post punk classic proves that sometimes a catchy hook is possible without a lot of production work. The guitar riff in this song makes it a classic.

The most popular song from New York's most influential band. Sometimes keeping it basic is all you need.
Cracker- Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now)

A song about being selfish, smug, horny, full of angst and needing a drink is all you need. When you listen to the lyrics I bet you were able to at some point.
My Bloody Valentine- Only Shallow

This is one of those songs that you have no idea what the lyrics are by listening, but they become a part of the music. The ethereal shoegazing sound get stuck in your head on repeat.
