Now here is a man with taste.
My list:
1. Anarchy For The UK-Sex Pistols (attacked the class system & Lydon
is libertarian & one of the best rock albums of ALL time)
2. Waterloo Sunset - Kinks (most beautiful pop song ever)
3. Down In the Park - Gary Numan (launched goth & synth pioneer).
4. Blue Monday - New Order (best dance mix possibly ever)
5. One Step Beyond - Madness (great party & happy band & hitmakers)
6. Teenage Kicks - Undertones (John Peel of the BBC's fave song?)
7. Autobahn - Kraftwerk (first hit from hugely influential group)
8. 19th Nervous Breakdown - Rolling Stones (last gasp from Brian Jones
band)
9. You Really Got Me - Kinks (best rock rave up ever-first heavy metal
song)
10. Substitute - The Who (one of their best)
