![12. Crying Lightning: Unfairly maligned, this track split opinion on release. It would later become known as the magic moment when the band truly spread their wings into a more psychedelic sky, but it still doesn't soar quite as high as their more iconic moments (still, ace mind).]()

When The Sun Goes Down: Anyone who's been over the river going out of town in Sheffield will agree that this song is 100 per cent solid gold truth, everyone else can just agree that it's solid gold ace. From the opening chords to THAT chorus, every bar adds up to make this a bona fide modern classic.]()

![2. Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High: There's a reason this has been covered by pretty much EVERYONE. A true highlight of AM, 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High' is not only a devious little earworm, but sees the Monkeys exploring a more adventurous, loose psychedelic direction, met with some of Turner's finest kitchen sink melodrama lyrics of a night out turned sour. You'll be mumbling this as you stagger home for decades to come.]()

![1. R U Mine?: Ahead of their blistering performance at the London 2012 games, the Sons of South Yorkshire blew fans with away with this fittingly Olympian track. Racing into a heavier psychedelic rock direction, 'R U Mine' has quickly become a fan favourite. Why? Well, it's a right little beast, laden with a righteous riff and sexy QOTSA-esque groove. This is exactly what we imagine blazing through the desert on a Harley with Josh Homme sounds like. It's sheer class and the sound of a band in their prime. Phwoar.]()
