Teenage Kicks - The Undertones
There She Goes - The La's
Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus

with endurance like the liberty bell

Song 2, is the name.

Rattlesnake - Lloyd Cole
Treason - Teardrop Explodes
Gotta Getaway - Stiff Little Fingers
Blue Boy - Orange Juice
Life Begins At The Hop - XTC
Chance Meeting - Josef K
Strange Town - The Jam

Predictably enough, these are all 45s that spent large amounts of time having their 3 or so minutes extended to hours and hours of playtime on my teenage stereo.
