On a day when the stock market hyper-ventilates wolf yet again, the oddly unsavoury Alan Duncan MP announces his intent to civil partnership, and there are a million poverty stricken folk in the countryside, it's probably a good time for the long-awaited (and, I'm sure, desperately anticipated) iPod of Don't.

Eschewing all obvious contenders ("Don't Stop", "Don't Stop Now", "Don't Stop Me Now"), we begin with:

Don't Put Your Daughter On The Stage, Mrs Worthington by Vic Reeves (Vic Reeves doing Noel Coward; could you ask for a better start?)

Don't Let's Start by They Might Be Giants (who are this list's proxies for the Nick Cave Rule)

Don't Come The Cowboy With Me, Sonny Jim by Kirsty MacColl (the late and much-missed Kirsty's finest moment, imo)

Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House (and possibly Neil Finn's finest moment)

Don't Change by INXS (certainly their finest moment; put it on you workout mix, it's great to run to)

Trust me, you'll like these.
