Movember Edition: Ten Songs Written By Men With Magical Moustaches (2ser 107.3fm)

The very first list to be featured on 2ser 107.3fm's Tuesday Daily show. How very very exciting!

As we get deep into Movember, I thought it would be a good idea to highlight the songs written by those men with wonderful moustaches. I have been a long time believer that having facial hair really improves your song writing abilities. This list tries to prove just that. Enjoy....


1. The Low Anthem – To Ohio (Featured On Air)

Zapp & Roger: The one female band member (bottom right) must have felt a bit left out.

2. Zapp & Roger - I Can Make You Dance (Featured On Air)

Will Oldham's somewhat creepy stache has helped him write many a beautiful song.

3. Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy – Cursed Sleep
4. Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster (Jammin')

Eugene Hütz of Gogol Bordello: Moustache and Gypsy-punk go hand in hand.

5. Gogel Bordello – Start Wearing Purple (Featured On Air)
6. Queen – Crazy Little Thing Called Love
7. The Beatles – Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
8. Rick James – Superfreak
9. James Brown – The Payback

10. Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! (Featured on Air)

Music blog - top ten song lists: share, comment and discover - yoursonglist

"Rob, top five musical crimes perpetuated by Stevie Wonder in the '80s and '90s. Go. Sub-question: is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins, is it better to burn out or fade away?"

If you are a lover of Nick Hornby's books or at least the movie High Fidelity, you are most likely also a devotee to the art form of listing. Whether it be spending hours trying to think of your top 10 Wu-Tang Clan songs, listing the songs to be played at your funeral, or making an all time songs list which you are sure will convince 'that girl' of your amazing taste, music lists have most likely played a part in your life at one point.

So that is where the idea of this blog comes from. A place where you can share your lists, comment on others, and perhaps discover some new songs that might make it to a list of the future.

This is how it works:

1. Compile your list, consisting of a subject (eg. 'the top songs that make me want to shake my booty'), 10 unique songs to suit that subject, and a very short description of why each song is on the list.
2. Submit it here and include a username for the list to be credited to.
3. Wait, and eventually your list will be posted on the blog (providing that it is grammatically legible).

So get listing!
