Changes marked with stars. I would have done a swap of I'm Only Sleeping for Paperback Writer too but I've been out of town reading and now I've got a cold, so have had neither the time nor the energy to chase down a copy. And anyway, what kid doesn't empathise with a song about not wanting to be woken up in the morning?1. Space Oddity - David Bowie
2. Tell Me Why I Don't Like Mondays - Boomtown Rats
3. Alright - Supergrass
4. Park Life - Blur
5. Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones
6. Common People - Pulp*
7. Hanging on the Telephone - Blondie
8. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
9. Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
10. The Lovecats - The Cure*
11. Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
12. I Fought The Law - The Clash
13. Baggy Trousers - Madness*
14. Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Stevie Wonder
15. Surfin' USA - The Beach Boys
16. Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan*
17. The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkel
18. I'm Only Sleeping - The Beatles
19. Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
20. Teenage Kicks - The Undertones
21. Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd
You'll note I cheated and squeezed in an extra song (Lovecats) by substituting the shorter 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' for 'Mr Tambourine Man'. No more time for more changes, I'm leaving for Dorset tomorrow with gift in tow. I'll try to get a report back from the nephew in question of what he thought.

I think that looks like a brilliant selection all in all. I would have looked in awe at something similar at that age
Ooh what a great mixtape. I hope he likes it! And glad there's some Talking Heads, which I missed spotting before...
He's going to love it. Why don't you ask him to post a review on your blog - guest author?
That's awesome!
I think out of the Revolver songs, "I'm Only Sleeping" is the best choice.
(I've tagged you for a book meme, sorry! I found it irresisible, but if you don't, no worries!)
