2—Duchess
One of the most beautiful songs he ever wrote, with Browning-flavoured lyrics that observe so lovingly, set to a sweet, delicate melody. But not so sweet that it can puncture the poignancy of his dying duchess.

"The good news you cannot refuse
The bad news is there is no news."
Could be about journalism in the contemporary US, or the current scandal at the BBC. Like the album it comes from, still supremely relevant.

Wagon—Dinosaur Jr.
I love an opening track that throws you in the back of a car and drags you off on an adventure. Of course, it's only after you're in there J starts asking why you don't see him so much any more… A blast of a track

Ballad of Dorothy Parker—#Prince

"Mind if I turn on the radio?
Oh, my favourite song, she said
And it was Joni singing:
Help me, I think I'm fall—drrring, the
phone rang…"
One of my favourite meta moments in music.

Nobody, perhaps not even Brel himself, could do Brel quite as well as Scott could. His interpretations always bring a bit more to the table, and with Jackie, he adds tortured cynicism to the drama and provocation.

The rattling of big black bones rang the death knell for Waits' cool jazz-cat persona and ushered in something completely different, created in partnership with his wonderful wife Kathleen Brennan.

I sometimes wonder if Billy Ocean knew what he was getting into when he agreed to sing backing vocals on this. You don't have to listen too carefully to hear the seeds of Scott's '95 album Tilt being sown here.
