John Simm's Revealing Playlist: From Early Loves to Peculiar Aversions
The first song I became enamored with
My most primal memory is stepping into a room at kindergarten where they were playing Yellow Submarine by the Fab Four. I was enthralled by the audio textures, and Lennon yelling: “Full speed ahead!” When it arrived at the hook, I remember thinking: “This must be music!”
The inaugural record I purchased
When I was eight, I was victorious in a competition at school to select a new record to play at the mini disco we had on Friday afternoons. My instructor took me to a local store, and I opted for Come Back My Love by Darts. The first single I purchased with my own pocket money was Mull of Kintyre by Wings from a music store in Lancashire. It was topping the charts at the time, and I chose it when my dad noted that it was by a former member of the Beatles.
The track I do at sing-along
I frankly actively avoid public singing and avoid it at all costs. But under duress, I’d go with Summer Wind by Frank Sinatra.
The song I strangely know every lyric to
I just realised that I know pretty much all the lyrics to The Boy in the Bubble, You Can Call Me Al, and every song on Graceland by Paul Simon.
The best song to play at a gathering
It relies on which phase of the party you are at. At the start it would likely be I Heard It Through the Grapevine by the soul legend. As the party deepens, I’d move on to the Artist, the Stones and Bowie, and when it hits its peak, Phat Planet by Leftfield, Born Slippy .NUXX by Underworld, and Ascension by the virtual band, which is an absolute banger.
The track I can no longer bear
I strangely loathe Mr Brightside by the Killers.
The ideal piece to make love to
Come Together by the Beatles.
The album that changed my life
When I was 12 and beginning to learn the guitar, I’d only listen to early rock ’n’roll, and was fixated on Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, the New Orleans legend, the glasses-wearing icon and Eddie Cochran. Then my childminder introduced me to Let There Be Rock by AC/DC. It was still rock’n’roll, but it was high voltage rock music. The moment he placed the record on the record player, I was a fan for life.
The tune that gets me up in the morning
What’d I Say in its full glory by The Genius.
The track that makes me cry
All music leaves me moved. The Queen of Soul, The Chairman of the Board, Elvis and the Fab Four all stir my emotions because of the tune and sheer brilliance of the voices. But The Ocean by the Sheffield crooner hits me hard consistently.
The song I’d like played at my final send-off
The King. If I’m given a cremation, I’ll have Burning Love. If I’m buried, I’ll have Way Down.
