Sonic Youth - Brave Men Run (In My Family)
The beginning of this song, after the intro, when the big cacophonous chord just hits you like a wall of noise, is one of my favourite moments in music.

Oh Tori. She feels my strange, strange, otherworldly pain.

The Adverts - Bombsite Boy
I don't know why these guys aren't remembered as much as like the Sex Pistols and shit when people think classic punk rock, because fuck I love the adverts.

Kleenex - Beri-Beri (this video though idk wtf)
Kleenex (later known as LiLiPUT) are one of my favourite bands ever of all time ever. Basically a gaggle of Swiss girls in sweatshirts and jeans making some of the most freaking ridiculously amazing music ever.

Mint Royale- Blue Song
'Nuff said, yeah? (Incidentally, apart from the obvious reasons, Neil Claxton [AKA as Mint Royale] is also an absolutely top bloke and Seerauber Jenny, his current band with Fran Barker, is flipping excellent)
