John Simm's Revealing Musical Selections: Starting with Childhood Favorites to Peculiar Aversions
The first tune I was captivated by
My most primal memory is walking into a space at nursery school where they were blasting Yellow Submarine by the Fab Four. I was captivated by the sonic landscape, and Lennon shouting: āFull speed ahead!ā When it arrived at the chorus, I remember thinking: āThis must be music!ā
The first 45 I acquired
When I was eight, I won a competition at school to pick a new vinyl to play at the small dance we had on Friday afternoons. My teacher took me to Woolworths, and I opted for Come Back My Love by the group Darts. The first single I bought with my own allowance was Mull of Kintyre by Paul McCartney's Wings from a music store in Colne. It was number one at the time, and I selected it when my dad pointed out that it was by one of the Beatles.
The tune I sing at sing-along
I frankly do not enjoy public singing and dodge it at all costs. But if I had to, Iād choose Summer Wind by Frank Sinatra.
The song I strangely remember every lyric to
I not long ago became aware that I know pretty much every word to The Boy in the Bubble, You Can Call Me Al, and the entire album on Graceland by the legendary songwriter.
The best song to blast at a gathering
It depends on what stage of the party you are at. Early doors it would likely be I Heard It Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye. As the night wears on, Iād move on to the Artist, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie, and when it hits its peak, Phat Planet by the electronic act, Born Slippy .NUXX by the techno pioneers, and Ascension by Gorillaz, which is an undeniable hit.
The song I can no longer listen to
I for some reason cannot stand Mr Brightside by the Killers.
The ultimate piece to have sex to
Come Together by the Beatles.
The album that changed my life
When I was 12 and just learning to learn the six-string, Iād only listen to early rock ānāroll, and was consumed by Elvis, the rock pioneer, the killer, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran. Then my babysitter introduced me to Let There Be Rock by the Australian rockers. It was still rockānāroll, but it was powerful rock music. Instantly after he dropped the record on the turntable, I was hooked.
The song that gets me up in the morning
Whatād I Say parts 1 & 2 by The Genius.
The song that makes me cry
Virtually any music leaves me moved. Aretha Franklin, The Chairman of the Board, Presley and the Beatles all stir my emotions because of the harmony and utter brilliance of the vocals. But The Ocean by Richard Hawley gets me going every time.
The track Iād like performed at my funeral
The King. If Iām cremated, Iāll have Burning Love. If Iām buried, Iāll have Way Down.
