35. The Beatles â âI Feel Fineâ.
A profound influence on The Jesus And Mary Chain, âI Feel Fineâ features the first recorded use of feedback, caused when John Lennon leant his guitar against the amp.
Cool cat George Martin let them stick it on the record.

34. Bill Haley & His Comets, â(Weâre Gonna) Rock Around The Clockâ. *
An old boy pushing 30 by time ââ¦Rock Around The Clockâ became a hit, Bill Haley nevertheless found himself the kiss-curled poster-boy for teenage rebellion for about five minutes.

33. George Michael, âCareless Whisperâ. ***
âI ainât planning on going solo,â lied George just a few weeks earlier on Wham!âs âWake Me Up Before You Go-Goâ.
This one was already in the can, but Andrew Ridgeley was gifted a writing credit to sweeten the pill.

32. Village People â âYMCAâ.
The Young Menâs Christian Association still thrives today, 170 years after its creation, thanks in no small part to the campaigning efforts of a motorcycle cop, a Native American, a cowboy, a construction worker, an army officer and a biker.

31. Culture Club â âKarma Chameleonâ. ***
The peak of Culture Clubâs career when they released their signature tune with a catchy harmonica solo and it would bed down at No.1 for six weeks.
Just one year later it was all âThe War Songâ and an empire in ruins.

29. Britney Spears â ââ¦Baby One More Timeâ. **
Amazing what a school uniform and a vast, peerless, indelible pop tune by Swedish chart don Max Martin will do.
That sort of blend means instant, doomed megastar.
Best version of this song is the acoustic cover by Scottish band Travis!

28. Ken Dodd â âTearsâ. *
Actually, this might be the biggest selling single youâve never heard â and you might be better off keeping it that way, as Doddy shelves the tickling stick for a minute and gets all âemoshâ.
This is not what we paid for.
Not the first UK comedian to become a crooner...remember Harry Secombe and later Michael Crawford???
