Folk, rock, trip-hop, punk, novelty songs and even symphonies. One way or another, Sunderland has inspired or created some memorable music; even if it wasn’t always memorable for the best of reasons. Here are nine of them, in no particular order.
9. 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)' - Eurythmics' cow field classic
Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox wrote this synth pop classic and global hit. It sounds like the last word in glossy 1980s sophistication; until you see that the video was shot in a cow field. Photo: Sunderland
