#499 HAMMERHEAD James Reyne
Following the demise of the rock group Australian Crawl, lead singer James Reyne launched a solo career with the single "Fall of Rome". His debut album as a soloist was self-titled and issued in 1987. "Hammerhead" is also from that LP. 
Penned by Reyne, he explained when I interviewed him that the song deals with heroin and obsessive behaviour. The lyrics are arguably his best ever. Olivia Newton-John contributes guest vocals. Davitt Sigerson produced the track. The single peaked at #8 on the Australian Top 40.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
