In a recent interview with Evening News 24, Johnny Marr admitted that he really likes the music he's made over the years.
"I really loved the Modest Mouse album. I like a lot of Smiths records. I like Dusk by The The. I like some of the Electronic singles. It's all part of the same life to. If I owned a jukebox, which I don't, I could probably fill it with 45s out there that I've played on and enjoy."
Here are the five singles featuring his own work he said he would put in that jukebox.

I love that Marr still thinks in terms of singles. 45s. He's awesome.
Yes, but you can't get off with that. Post yer faves.
1. The Smiths - "What Difference Does It Make?"
2. Talking Heads - "Nothing But Flowers"
3. Kirsty MacColl - "Days"
4. The The - "The Beat(en) Generation"
5. Electronic - "Getting Away With It"
6. Modest Mouse - "Dashboard"
Did he do anything worthwhile between ~1992 and 2007?
One more (a b-side, but that's okay): Billy Bragg - "Walk Away Renee (version)"
It's just Marr fingerpicking the Left Banke song and Bragg reciting a great poem over it.
I said, "I'm the most illegible bachelor in town"
And she said, "Yeah, that's why I can never understand
Any of those silly letters you send me."
