Where now for the beleaguered European Union? To coincide with the chaos on the currency markets and with an eye on the troubled road ahead, we've compiled a list of songs to accompany panicked, uncomprehending viewing of graphs lurching upwards and downwards with all the comprehensibility of a Large Hadron Collider micro-explosion.

Post your suggestions below!

1. Europe - The Final Countdown

Sweden aren't members of the Eurozone - but as the various states of the EU attempt to facilitate closer fiscal union and budgetary discipline, here's Swede-rockers Europe's hymn to getting your finger out - and leaving for Venus - from 1986.

2. Laibach - Anglia

Do they mean us? They surely do. Here the Slovenian art terrorists - whose entire oeuvre could be used to soundtrack historic processes (try this ) - take on a certain national anthem in 2006, delivering a few home truths while they're at it.

3. Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)

In the midst of it all, we should spare a thought for the hard working guys in the City. Here Tennant and Lowe show how some things never change with their mega-smash from 1986.

4. Abba - Waterloo

From 1974, Sweden's avatars of pop perfection draw parallels of Napoleon's defeat in 1815 with a love affair gone wrong. Were they unconsciously predicting the future relations between the German, British and French governments at the infamous 2.30am meeting on December 10?

5. Eiffel 65 - Europop

In 1999, Italian synth popsters got stomping with this super-trancey soundtrack for Pan-Europeanism and implementing the common agricultural policy: "All through Amsterdam straight to Italy/ You can feel the beat of a European thing," May have involved the use of AutoTune.

6. Roxy Music - A Song For Europe

Live in '79 but taken from 1973's Stranded, Wor Bryan and the lads referencs the old-pre Eurovision Song Contest heats with an epic song of love gone wrong. Includes lyrics in French and Latin.

7. The Fall - Bremen Nacht

But there's something not quite right. Here barroom psychic Mark E Smith relates a sinister encounter with a nameless dread and demonic possession in west Germany in 1987. Could it be the future difficulties of cross-continental cooperation, the terrible weight of history and directives about the preferred bendiness of bananas?

8. Suicide - 23 Minutes Over Brussels

Did Vega and Rev, back in 1978 at the Anciennes Belgique in Brussels, approximate the kind of angry, fraught vibes now found in the European Parliament? To recap, on the night Suicide were famously booed by an impatient crowd waiting to see Elvis Costello, whereupon someone stole the microphone, Alan Vega told the crowd 'I hate your f*ckin' guts' and a riot ensued. Legendary.

9. Flowers Band - Rejoicing Universe

From China in 2006, a novelty pop-punk costume romp that, to desperate economists, expresses the hope that cash-rich China might rescue the Eurozone; "Money Go My Home!" go the words. Apparently the rest of the song is just a daft laff.

10. Kraftwerk - Europe Endless

Is the dream still alive? Here's Kraftwerk's Europe Endless from 1977's Trans-Europe Express, with its immaculate balm of "Real life and postcard views... Elegance and decadence."
