Sam Fender's 10 favourite songs of all time (Far Out Magazine)

Sam Fender once revealed his ten favourite songs of all time which includes selections from The Verve, Nirvana, Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell and more.

He continued: “He made rock ‘n’ roll intelligent for me, it was the first time I had ever listened to lyrics. As a result, Fender was instructed to shield by the NHS, and this time spent in his own head formed the basis for his second album, Seventeen Going Under. The BRIT Award-winning 27-year-old singer-songwriter is well on his way to becoming a future headliner of Glastonbury, and he’s walked the hard yards to get to this position.

Meet Scam Fender, the viral tribute band honouring Geordie icon Sam Fender (NewcastleWorld)

Over the past few years North Shields singer Sam Fender has captured Geordie hearts like no other. The Brit Award Winner's passion for the North East, relatable lyricism and down to earth personality have made him a Tyneside export to be proud of.

"Hopefully we will do it with the spirit and the energy with which they were intended to be performed. Why not, and should be a lot of fun!" The fact they are all from the North East and that the area has birthed these amazing songs is brilliant, what’s not to love?" Songs like 'Aye' and 'Spit of You' are astonishing lyrically, and that combination of lyrics which could stand up as poetry in their own right, and also unbelievable tunes, is so rare - but Sam Fender has it in spades." A: "The short version is that we played 'Seventeen Going Under' for fun at a gig in Newcastle, purely because it’s an amazing song. So I thought 'why not' and so we've learned nine more songs, along with some Springsteen tunes, and booked a gig at Riverside on April 1st to play them at.
