"Joy Division's melancholic anthem Love Will Tear Us Apart has been named the
greatest single of all time in a new poll.
The song topped the list compiled by the NME to mark the 50th anniversary of
the singles chart.
It was released in January 1980, a month after the suicide of lead singer Ian
Curtis, and reached number 13 in the charts - the Manchester band's only top 20
hit.
Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit is in second place, followed by Anarchy In
The UK by the Sex Pistols.
The Rolling Stones make number four with Paint It Black, the first of three
entries for them in the top 100, while David Bowie is at number five with
Heroes."
...Blah, blah, blah...
Thus prompting the obvious question...and, yes, clearly it is nearly the end of the year, do you agree with these fantastic findings??? Or should the original version of Body Electric actually top the charts as SOME might argue???
Just a thought...
