"Condensing a wide range of well-loved music into a Top 10 is no easy feat," Seana said.

She added: "From warbling in the shower, dancing opposite the mirror, (I know I'm not the only one who does this) here is a compilation of my Top 10 tunes to live my life by."

My Top 10

1. Nirvana - Drain You - As an angst-ridden teen Nevermind was the album I turned to in my hour of need. Kurt Cobain's searing, raw voice seemed particularly manic in Drain You and matched perfectly my two-fingers-up attitude to the world

2.Foo Fighters - Everlong - July 2002 - We were crammed into the Fairyhouse Racecourse quite literally like a group of wild horses. The atmosphere was electric and we knew we were in for something pretty special. Out of the black appeared Dave Grohl and the familar guitar strains of Everlong - a long wait for the monster tune - but well worth it.

3.Mark McCabe- Manaic 2000 - Cringeworthy and wrong on so many levels. This rave-a-thon takes me back to the mighty Elk where we WERE the maniacs on the dance floor. Utter cheese but still a belter of a tune to use your glowsticks to.

4. Bloc Party - Banquet - My absolute favourite band for the past few years. I'm not quite sure how to describe their musical style other than pretty eclectic and as mixed up as my own musical taste. Somehow it works and Banquet, from their Silent Alarm album, is a fine example of this.

5. Bloc Party - Flux - ( I did say they were my favourite band ...) Flux shows off yet another side to Bloc Party, infusing their love of rock with a dancier sound. More one for the clubs yet still unmistakably characteristed by Kele Okereke's cockney vocals.

6. Déanta - Scarta Glen Road - There's nothing like a bit of diddle-dee-dee music to get you up on your feet and this quartet of tunes certainly proves the point. Consisting of The Scarta Glen Road, Sean Leac, The King Of The Clans and Marian's Favourite, if you haven't already been tapping your feet to the music, the flute solo in The King Of The Clans will surely get you up for a jig.

7. Mary Black - Sonny (Don't Go Away) - The song that brought me my first (and only) bit of singing fame as a six-year-old. A haunting and sad song yet made quite comical by my pig-tailed younger self.

8. The Eagles - Love Will Keep Us Alive - For the more sentimental moments... This is a love song which manages to combine beautiful words and a beautiful melody without being corny. From the 1994 album, Hell Freezes Over, this song, like all the great classics, still seems alive and fresh over a decade later and will probably remain so decades from now.

9. The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - Fairtytale of New York - It had to be in here. I'm sure I speak for all those other die-hard fans of this song that Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the festive classic. While still retaining the humour and satire of the lyrics, the song has become somewhat of a lovers' favourite and the first few piano chords usually evokes a few misty eyes under the mistletoe.

10. The Rapparees - The White Line - A relatively new folk band from the Antrim area, they have played in France, toured most of Ireland and have played onstage with Shane Magowen and Cara Dillion. Originally covering popular folk tunes, The Rapparees have now began penning their own songs - The White Line illustrating their success as songwriters as well as performers.
