10—U Got the Look
In his continuing attempt to corrupt sweet lass Sheena Easton, Prince delivers maybe his best duet, propelled by a Linn drum track and some wild percussion from Sheila E (no relation). Slammin'!

Telephone Call from Istanbul
Silence is one of the most powerful tools a songwriter has, and Waits uses it to great atmospheric effect on this staccato masterpiece. And the organ at the end proves he can use noise just as well

Only Shallow—My Bloody Valentine
In truth, I could have picked any track off this incredible album (except for Soon, which first released in 1990.) I've chosen its hypnotic opener, with a divine Bilinda vocal: one of her very best.

June Salutes You—Guided by Voices
'Hey! June salutes you!
From the fundamental champs
And Tammy and the Amps were singing…'
(And that's Kim Deal, lead singer of the Amps on the final refrain too.)

The Black Rider
With arch campness and a decidedly Brechtian flair, Waits delivers a brilliant cabaret performance on this title track, quite unlike anything he’d done before. Yet despite all this it unmistakably, irresistibly Waits.

A question for #musicsky — was 'Her Majesty' on Abbey Road the first 'hidden track' ever released? I suspect it might be, because it happened by sheer chance, but I'd love to know if somebody had pulled the same trick off earlier.

1—Farmer in the City
It's about the brutal murder of Pier Paolo Pasolini, but you wouldn't need to know that to find this masterpiece affecting. Once heard, the haunting cattle-auction refrain never leaves you: Do I hear 21?

2—Duchess
One of the most beautiful songs he ever wrote, with Browning-flavoured lyrics that observe so lovingly, set to a sweet, delicate melody. But not so sweet that it can puncture the poignancy of his dying duchess.

"The good news you cannot refuse
The bad news is there is no news."
Could be about journalism in the contemporary US, or the current scandal at the BBC. Like the album it comes from, still supremely relevant.

Wagon—Dinosaur Jr.
I love an opening track that throws you in the back of a car and drags you off on an adventure. Of course, it's only after you're in there J starts asking why you don't see him so much any more… A blast of a track
