Best Single Ever?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

How about the WORST single you own?
That should be my copy of "Wir stehen für Werder ein", sung by our local football-team SV Werder Bremen. Weird stuff!

To my mind: Manic Street Preachers "A Design for Life"- brilliant four track single. Not only brilliant lyrics, sound and songwriting, but also art...

Best ever has to be "Transparent Radiation" by Spacemen 3.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
