John Simm's Honest Playlist Reveals the Actor's Unlikely Musical Preferences
For a man known for his dark roles in shows like Doctor Who and Dead Set, John Simm has surprisingly eclectic musical tastes. In an interview, the actor revealed the first song that captured his attention, which was playing at nursery school - Yellow Submarine by The Beatles. Another early memory of buying a single was with his own pocket money, opting for Mull of Kintyre by Wings.
Simm's love for karaoke is not shared by many, but he'd choose Summer Wind by Frank Sinatra if forced to sing on stage. Interestingly, the actor has an inexplicable affinity for every lyric in Paul Simon's songs and enjoys playing Come Together at parties when things pick up.
When it comes to creating party playlists, Simm relies on a mix of classic hits like Marvin Gaye and The Clash. However, there is one artist he finds himself unable to enjoy - The Killers' Mr Brightside, which inexplicably repels him.
When considering intimate moments with a partner, music plays a crucial role in setting the mood. For Simm, it's all about Come Together by The Beatles. His musical tastes have had a profound impact on his life, particularly discovering Let There Be Rock by AC/DC at age 12 and being drawn into the world of rock 'n'roll.
The playlist may not have been created by music aficionados, but John Simm has undoubtedly demonstrated an appreciation for all genres.

i mean, yellow submarine and mull of kintyre? that's like me having a playlist full of edm tracks 
but seriously though, it's cool to see someone use music as a way to connect with their emotions and memories 
he seems like someone who values intimacy and setting the mood with his partner, music really can bring people together 
. Like, come on, that's some smooth jazz right there! And what's up with Mr Brightside repelling him? Didn't The Killers' Brandon Flowers write that song specifically to be catchy and upbeat? It doesn't seem like something John Simm would vibe with at all 
. And Paul Simon's lyrics are definitely iconic... but have you ever noticed how most people can't even begin to understand some of his song meanings?

. I mean, who expects someone who plays dark characters to be a Beatles fan? Yellow Submarine is such a fun song! And I love how he says Come Together by The Beatles gets him all emotional and intimate with his partner - that's so sweet 
. But for real, it's awesome to see an actor owning their musical preferences and not being afraid to say what they like. And I'm curious, who knows why Mr Brightside repels him? Maybe we can get a deeper dive on that 
. But you know what's awesome about his playlist - it shows how music can bring people together, even if we have different tastes. My grandma used to play all these classic hits when I was growing up and they still hold a special place in my heart 
.
And Come Together at parties is a great idea, it's always fun to get people moving with some funky Beatles vibes 
. I'm not surprised he loves Let There Be Rock by AC/DC though, that song's an anthem! 
? I love how he's got this one song that takes him back to nursery school - Yellow Submarine is so underrated! And I can relate to his karaoke struggles, I'm pretty terrible at it too 
.
... wait, what? No I'm saying he's got some pretty weird tracks on his playlist 
. But at the same time, I can see why Come Together by The Beatles is like his jam... when it comes down to it, music's all about personal preference, right?
