12 months in 12 songs
January to December, in tunes

It's nearly October. Or 'Rocktober', as we never say here.
Even so, MusicRadar set itself a challenge. Could we soundtrack every month of the year with great tunes?
Well, you can certainly find 12 January-December tunes. Whether they are 'great', we'll leave you to decide. Roll on a calendar of music...
Pilot – January
They spent three weeks at the top of the UK charts in erm, February 1975, but not many people remember Pilot. That said, there is a double-neck Gibson in the video, and the band were on the soundtrack of Adam Sandler's excellent golf comedy Happy Gilmore in 1996.
Foo Fighters – February Stars
Here's an 'acoustic' version of the track from Foo Fighters' '97 album The Colour And The Shape. That's better.
Epica – The Imperial March
Darth Vader's theme music reinvented through Dutch symphonic metal. Feel the power of the dark side of the force right here. (Okay, we struggled with March.)
