#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky King Crimson Album: In the Court of the Crimson King Track: In the Court of the Crimson King (1969) Prog rock noodling, pretentious lyrics like sixth form poetry. And this is one of their better songs 😴

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Carole King Album: Tapestry (1971) Track: I Feel The Earth Move She’s one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th Century. This song was released as a double A-side with “It’s Too Late”

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Alicia Keys Album: The Element Of Freedom (2009) Track: Empire State Of Mind (Pt 2) Broken Down One of the better songs about NYC. Strictly speaking this version is Alicia Keys’ response to the Jay-Z song.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Kenickie Album: At The Club (1997) Track: In Your Car If you put the Buzzcocks, X-Ray Spex and the Shangri-Las in a room, you’d probably get a wonderful noise like Kenickie.

Let's see which albums we've been listening to the most in May:

Let's see who we've been listening to the most in May:

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Kelis Album: Kelis Was Here (2006) Track: Lil Star I love Kelis, and this pop song is one of her best.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Keane Cover version (2007) Track: She Sells Sanctuary WTF, really? Pop-rockers Keane knocking out a surprisingly decent version of The Cult’s “She Sells Sanctuary”. Cover Version Of The Day for sure.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Kasabian Album: Kasabian (2004) Track: LSF One of their earliest singles, and still one of their best.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Kaiser Chiefs Album: Employment (2005) Track: I Predict A Riot Not as over-played on the radio as ‘Ruby’ was, and better lyrics too.

♫ Top 5 artists of the Last.week: Pixies (24) R.E.M. (23) The Clash (16) Buzzcocks (12) Talking Heads (12). #myweekcounted 213 Scrobbles with Lastfm #music via @lastfm.blue

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Jungle Brothers Album: Straight Out The Jungle (1988) Track: Because I Got It Like That Such an influential band. This song was much sampled (hi Fatboy Slim), because every second of it is so damn catchy.

Prewn on stage this evening at YES, Manchester (Song is "System")

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Juliette & The Licks EP: Like A Bolt Of Lightning Track: Got Love To Kill (2004) Yes, it’s that Juliette Lewis, the actor, knocking out some good old Iggy Pop-style rock & roll

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Joan As Policewoman Album: Real Life Track: Real Life (2006) She’s criminally under-rated as a songwriter. This track from her first album deserves a place on your playlist.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Joy Zipper Album: The Heartlight Set (2004) Track: 1 My beloved’s favourite band. American indie from Long Island. Very cool. youtu.be/dtp3kgrswPo?...

‪The Pixies on stage this evening at Aviva, Manchester (song is 'Monkey Gone To Heaven')

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Joy Division 7” single (1979) Track: Transmission The best two-chord song ever recorded, and the most influential. Also the point when post-punk reached out to goth, indie and rock ‘n roll. Wonderful. youtu.be/6dBt3mJtgJc?...

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   JJ72 Album: JJ72 (2000) Track: Oxygen Underrated Irish indie band, you can guess they prob liked Joy Division, the Cure and some grunge albums. This was their biggest hit….

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Jane’s Addiction Album: Ritual De Lo Habitual (1990) Track: Been Caught Stealing Song with dog barking, on album that went double platinum in the US.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Jack White Album: Elephant (2003) Track: Seven Nation Army Loved by football crowds worldwide (and strictly speaking it’s a Whites Stripes song, but since JW wrote it, I think we can include it here)

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Jamiroquai Album: Travelling Without Moving (1996) Track: Virtual Insanity The Stevie Wonder influence sounds strong with this one, but the eye-catching video was very innovative. youtu.be/4JkIs37a2JE?...

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Jamelia 7” single (2004) Track: Stop Written and originally recorded by Sam Brown, this classy cover by Jamelia was on the soundtrack of the movie ‘Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason’

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Janis Joplin Album: Cheap Thrills (1968) Track: Piece Of My Heart Originally recorded by Erma Franklin (Aretha’s sister), re-done only a year later with extra balls by Janis Joplin

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Jethro Tull 7” single (1969) Track: Living In The Past Genuinely catchy tune from hippy prog rockers. Oh and for music nerds like me, it’s in 5/4 time, which is quite cool.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Jessie J Album: Who Are You (2011) Track: Price Tag It’s a catchy pop song for sure. Sold over 2 million in the UK and over 4 million in the US. Oh and the video has *one billion* views.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Josef K 7” single (1980) Track: It's Kinda Funny Glasgow post-punk band, contemporaries of Orange Juice (& Joy Division, this song apparently inspired by the death of Ian Curtis). Jangly and yet gloomy.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Quincy Jones Album: Big Band Bossa Nova (1962) Track: Soul Bossa Nova Yes, the Austin Powers theme! And with Lalo Schiffrin, who wrote the Mission Impossible theme, playing piano on the original recording.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Johnny Jones & The King Casuals 7” single (1968) Track: Purple Haze Hendrix’s original band - "The King Kasuals" – later recorded this funky soul re-working of Purple Haze. It’s pretty damn good too.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky  Gloria Jones 7” single (1965) Track: Tainted Love Obviously we love the Soft Cell version (though perhaps not so much Marilyn Manson’s) and this is the original foot-stompin’ soul banger.

Thomas Dolby on stage this evening at Manchester Ritz. Very complex & technical show, which didn't always work properly and a very strictly enforced "no taking videos" policy 😕

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Elton John Album: Honky Chateau (1972) Track: Rocket Man We like songs that tell a story, and this is one of Elton’s best.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Jefferson Airplane Album: Surrealistic Pillow (1967) Track: Somebody To Love Hippy classic par excellence. They all look so cool in the video too.

Colin Blunstone (The Zombies) on stage this evening at Stoller Hall, Manchester 😍

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky  Jay-Z Album: The Black Album (2004) Track: 99 Problems Such a good set of lyrics, story-telling at its best. Unfortunately this is the “radio friendly” version so half the lyrics are missing. Seriously, what?

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Japan Album: Tin Drum (1981) Track: Ghosts Very influential band, this was far and away their best song (IMHO). Atmospheric, haunting, this version features Ryuichi Sakamoto from the Yellow Magic Orchestra.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Bert Jansch Album: Bert Jansch (1965) Track: Angie Acoustic guitar legend, founder of the group Pentangle, a man who many (including Johnny Marr, Nick Drake & Jimmy Page) hold in the highest regard.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Tommy James & the Shondells Album: Mony Mony (1968) Track: Mony Mony Ignore the awful cover version by Billy Idol, this is the real deal. 1960’s garage punk the way it should be.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Rick James Album: Street Songs (1981) Track: Super Freak Sampled for MC Hammer's “U Can’t Touch This”, and also the highlight of the movie ‘Little Miss Sunshine’, it’s a classic in its own way.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   James 7” single (1989) Track: Sit Down Nobody else can make a concert arena of 20,000 people sit down on the floor for one of their best songs. James can.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Jagwa Ma Album: Howlin (2013) Track: Man I Need 21st Century psychedelia from Australia, highly recommended.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Jackson Sisters 7” single (1973) Track: I Believe In Miracles Five sisters from California, a classic soul single with a great beat and fantastic horn stabs.

#1artist1album1song #OneArtistOneSong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky   Joe Jackson 7” single (1978) Track: Is She Really Going Out With Him? If you were lucky, when New Wave met an actual singer-songwriter, you got gems like this.
