This is apparently what the London skyline sounds like. Nothing like I imagined.

If I’d composed the London skyline it whould sound completely different.

It’s a fun thing though.

So I'm not trying to do my own list of the 100 best London songs, like Time Out, it seems like a life long project. However, I did say that I'd try to make my own top 10, here it is:

10: David Jones - Maybe It's Because I Am A Londoner

9: Jamie Scott & The Town - London Town

8: Frida Hyvönen - London!

7: Lily Allen - LDN

6: The Smiths - London

5: Ralph McTell - Streets Of London

4: Coldplay - Cemeteries Of London

3: Stephen Duffy - London Girls

2: She & Hem - London

1: The Clash - London Calling

I have to admit I felt a bit like Rob in Nick Hornby’s novel High Fidelity when making this. Just like when Rob is changing the albums on his “top 5 best albums of all time”-list a million times, this took me a number of reorganizations and changes. At some point you just have to decide that you’re done. 

Feel free to make your own version, it’s fun! Here's some inspiration.
