Originally from New Zealand but now Ballymena through and through, Bin likes a mixed bag of music and confesses to having a soft spot for PJ Harvey.

The 28-year-old added that he is also guilty of loving Down Under by Men at Work but it just missed his Top Ten.

My Top 10

1. Dirty Old Town - The Pogues - This song is from their second album, Rum, Sodomy and the Lash, and is, in my humble opinion, the best Pogues album. Can't really say why I like it so much but I grew up listening to Irish folk music courtesy of my mum.

2. Would? - Alice in Chains - I always liked the Seattle based bands from the early nineties, but Alice in Chains always stuck out for me. Would? was the first tune by Alice in Chains I ever heard and its been a firm favourite ever since.

3. We Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who - I saw these dinosaurs of rock at Oxegen last year and was blown away by them - amazing! Always been a fan and The Who's Next is probably one of the best albums ever cut, but this is by far the best song on the album.

4. Bar Room Hero - Dropkick Murphys - I first heard these guys on RTE a long time ago. They were leading a St Patrick's Day parade through south Boston with Shane McGowan and they were singing their hearts out! Ten years later or so I got to see them in the Limelight in Belfast and it was probably the best night of my life. This is also the only song I can dance too as well!

5. Rockaway Beach - The Ramones - These guys were influenced by some of the first alternative bands like the Stooges and Mc5 and I really like their no frills approach to making painfully loud pioneering punk. Rockaway Beach is definitely a tune to tap your foot to.

6. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley - Although this is a Leonard Cohen song, I think Buckley steals it every time. It's gloriously simple and he has one of the best voices ever.

7. Out To Get Me - Guns 'n' Roses - What can I say? Everyone's got a favourite Appetite for Destruction track and this one is certainly mine. Listening to this album now, it still sounds fresh and it's hard to believe that it is over 20 years old.

8. Rocking in the Free World - Neil Young - Fantastically cheesy but it's Neil Young so he's allowed to get away with it. This tune compelled me to buy a guitar.

9. Questioning my Sanity - L7 - I shared a flat in Dublin with an Italian girl called Llaria and she got me into L7 in a big way. They're one of those bands that just won't quit, even though their albums keep getting worse. However, Hungry For Stink is definitely one of the best and keeps in with the whole Ramones/Stooges theme.

10. This Is Love - PJ Harvey - Having seen PJ Harvey in Dublin a few years back, I reckon she's the best female solo artist out there. I don't think that many people have heard of her but Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea was in my CD player for a long time.
