Alex Turner's best non-Arctic Monkeys tracks, ranked
Happy Birthday, Alex: Because there's much more to AT than AM
12. 'Calm Like You': There's a reason why Alex Turner's songs rarely reach four minutes - he prefers to get the point across and get out while you're still scratching your head. This one ends just as you feel it's reaching some sort of epiphany.

6 January 2015: Today is Alex Turner's 29th birthday. That's right - Turner has five albums under his belt with one of the most successful bands in the world, and he's still not reached 30 yet.
As if that wasn't achievement enough though, Turner has also turned his hand to incredible soundtracks, side projects and collaborations. Given that very often the success of Arctic Monkeys overshadows Turner's other work (not, admittedly, the worst predicament in the world), we've decided to shine a light on his greatest, non-Arctic Monkeys, songs.
Have a good one, Alex.
