These are songs which will always get people singing when they come on the radio or at discos, they'll be whistled by people in charity shops, and certainly result in a lot of waving and iPhone torches at concerts when they are played. They're anthems...
Here's the first of some suggestions for anthemic songs... the ones which perhaps bring concerts by the band who created them to a close for years... the ones that the set list builds up to.
I was fortunate to hear Elbow play this live at the end of a concert in Thetford Forest in Norfolk.
It was a warm and pleasant evening and the crowd was in the arena set in the forest...
Here's Guy Garvey explaining the meaning behind the song.
Do you have other suggestions?
And don't worry, I have Mr. Brightside already on the list...
Update
Found my ticket from that Elbow gig...
