The Soundtrack of your LifeChe Grimsdale writes: Now that Simon Cowell's stolen Everybody Hurts, tell us about songs that mean something to you - good, bad, funny or tragic, appropriate or totally inappropriate songs that were playing at key times.

Mis-Shapes by PulpCame to me in my teens and taught me the following:
There is music beyond the boyband shite you are currently listening to.
People who are unpopular at school can grow up to be pop stars.
The people who are cool now will not be the ones that win in the end.
Someone out there understands all of this shit you are currently having to deal with.
That song and the album spoke to me at a time when I needed a telling. I used to hum it under my breath when facing the mob. It also opened me up to all the music I was missing and turned me into the musical anorak that I am today.
You can imagine, then, how it felt when Mr Cocker got on his knees to kiss my hand at a gig last year. I've got so much to thank him for.
