From The Verve to Sex Pistols, Barnsley band The Sherlocks pick, "10 timeless classics. A mix of iconic songs and anthems, from reflective ballads to gritty rock chaos, this playlist captures pure emotion and energy.

'Stand By Me' by Ben E. King

One of the all-time greatest records ever. It will be forever played and has one of the best melodies. It has been sampled so many times by modern artists - a true classic. Lyrically incredible.

'This Time' by The Verve

What a tune! It has everything - incredible lyrics and groove. An underrated tune in someways because it is on one of the greatest albums of all time with such huge songs. I have had the pleasure of meeting and supporting Richard Ashcroft a few times over the years. What a true icon and gentleman! Legend.

'Tape Deck Sick' by DMA'S

This tune has always been a favourite, it stood out a mile on the record when I first heard it. It's very different, especially after what we'd come to expect after the DMA'S debut album. The vocals sound unreal.

'I Never Cry' by Alice Cooper

What a beautiful tune filled with great melodies. I came across this song a few years ago in the midst of COVID-19 and I’ve been living with it ever since. I love the instrumentation, there are loads of cool sounds that make you feel a certain way. One of my all-time favourites, it reminds me that you don’t need to get clever to write a great song when there's a great melody.

'Wild Horses' by Rolling Stones

I couldn’t not mention this track as it’s an absolute classic. There’s just something about the recording of this song… it’s not even just the song. We all know it’s great, but what does it for me is the magic of this particular recording. I feel like on the day that they recorded it, they must have just captured so much of the energy in the room and came out with such a special recording that can move you and make you think of something deeper. It’s the kind of song you could stick on while you’re all sat around a fire and no one will really speak over it. It has that power and magic of capturing everyone’s subconscious, where everyone just goes into deep thought and lets it take over.

'Death on the Stairs' by The Libertines

Probably one of my favourite tracks by The Libertines of all time. It takes me straight back to secondary school and is like the soundtrack to my adolescent years, when I think you’re a lot more impressionable. They were my favourite band growing up by a long shot and I can’t even put my finger on why. Obviously, you had Arctic Monkeys after these boys, but something about The Libertines has always fascinated and struck a chord with me. Back then, I listened to them every day without fail and overtime I feel like I absorbed and took in every little detail of those songs. More so the imperfections like the random guitar sounds / mistakes and bits of feedback. The Libertines mean chaos to me. Pure chaos!

'Don't Cry (Original)' by Guns N' Roses

A proper classic song by a proper classic band. I was brought up on classic rock music from the '60s to the '90s, and Guns N' Roses really stuck with me. They are one of my all-time favourite bands with some amazing albums. It's a song I can put on to sit and chill out to. It's just written and recorded so well, I love it.

'Sultans Of Swing' by Dire Straits

This is a classic tune. Everyone knows it and loves it. Such a simple guitar riff, yet it's one of the best. I can put this song on while in any mood and appreciate it; it's one of those classics that never gets old. The production for its time is unbelievable, and you can tell there's passion in every note played or sang. To me it feels like the perfect song.

'Again & Again' by Keane

I had Spotify on shuffle recently and came across 'Again & Again' from Keane's third album Perfect Symmetry, having not previously heard it. It’s more guitar-driven but with the usual brilliant songwriting. We had a great tour with these guys, I’d say they are one of my favourite acts I’ve ever seen live and we all learned a lot from that experience.

'Satellite' by Sex Pistols

Have you ever heard some simple chords sound so massive? The recording is amazing. You can really hear the room in the recording. I always wonder what it would have been like in that room recording Steve Jones’ guitar. I've loved Sex Pistols since I got Never Mind The Bollocks aged 10.
