Some notable songs were a little too ripe for inclusion in a family newspaper (sorry, “Dicks: The Musical”), but you can hear all the ones that did make it into The Envelope’s annual best-of playlist on Spotify. (Some songs not available to stream at press…

The first song I remember hearingSpace Oddity by David Bowie, in our flat in Belsize Park in north London, as a kid. My parents played a lot of music. They were real hippies, bohemians.

My mum used to work at Camden Market. I probably picked it up from there or…

Memories are weird like that, especially when you’re really young.The first single I boughtOnce again, tough, but it was probably We Didn’t Start the Fire by Billy Joel when I was eight or nine. The one I clearly remember buying when I was a little older was Regulate by Warren G.The song I…

Stand By Me by Ben E King has that soaring chorus: “Darling, darling, stand by me.” If you want to…
