Elbow's songs of nostalgia

Elbow are one of those bands who hold a place in your heart. Maybe it’s the timbre of Guy Garvey’s voice or the stomping emotion they bring to their music.

They’ve long been visitors to Australia and in 2011 made the trek to play Splendour in the Grass. When Guy Garvey and Pete Turner from the band did the Take 5 they’d just been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize for the third time and had a solid history behind them already. They shared their songs of nostalgia.

Japan - ‘Ghosts’

Public Enemy - ‘Fight the Power’

Blondie - ‘Rapture’

The Mamas and the Papas - ‘Monday, Monday’

Primal Scream - ‘Come Together’
