Gary Jarman Shares Playlist, Including Bee Gees and 80s Ballad

Gary Jarman, frontman for the band The Cribs, has shared details of his personal music playlist, highlighting a range of influences from his youth to his present-day preferences. He spoke about a youthful obsession with the Bee Gees and a particular fondness for an 80s power ballad. Jarman also revealed a song he deems too inappropriate for his own funeral.

Jarman identified "Only You" by The Flying Pickets as the first song he fell in love with, based on his mother's recollection of him and his twin brother, Ryan, singing along to it on a Christmas episode of Top of the Pops. This song is now used by the band as their walk-on music, reportedly eliciting an emotional response from his mother. The first single Jarman personally purchased was "Somewhere in My Heart" by Aztec Camera. He bought it in 1988 from a Boots store in Wakefield, having first heard the song at a disco during a holiday at Pontins in Morecambe.
