So Nick Hornby has written a book about 31 songs that changed his life or something (and the only band to have two songs in it is Teenage interestingly enough). But Bruce Springsteen at number 1 with Thunder Road? Anyway, not wanting to go down the (predictable) route of complaining about what is in the list (or what is not in the list) may I offer that I think the inclusion of Paul Westerberg's 'Born For Me' is exquisite. And if you don't know his 'Suicaine Gratificati' album from which it is taken you should skip on a night out at the pub once over the coming week and instead buy this divine work and head home for the night and wallow in it (sure isn't that national pub boycott planned for Feb 28th nicely timed now?) So can anybody out there reciprocate and point one in the direction of any gems on Hornby's list of 31 songs that may not known by others (there's several I never heard of, which made me feel kind of, well, illiterate or something). The 31 songs do hereby follow... tobble Nick Hornby's 31 songs 1. Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road 2. Teenage Fanclub - Your Love is the Place That I Come From 3. Nelly Furtado - I'm Like a Bird 4.
