Twelve – o’clock rock! Our sequential song choice nominations opened with this rousing number from Bill Haley and the Comets.
Eleven – Well that's ten Plus One and something else to add to Okkervil River's list.
Ten – ten, ten, ten for everything. As the Violent Femmes shout, you can all just Kiss Off into the air.
Nine – in my head, not a kiss? Band of Skulls depart from the normal list of Patterns for sightings of magpies.
Eight – for a wish – back to the original nursery rhyme but it's Counting Crows instead!
Seven – days; a week for Sting to decide if he's a man or a mouse and wants to fight for her?
Six – the tears that separate Yes's Future Times and Rejoice.
Five – a countdown to a Murder (Song) from the Civil Wars sounding Aurora.
Four – for each other, Crosby, Stills and Nash Helplessly Hoping to stay together.
Three – knocks on the wall is Imelda May's secret call.
Two – farthings, the price of a white mouse that was bought for Angelo Branduardi at the Highdown Fair.
One – a countdown Straight to Number One. It's Touch & Go.
