Interested to hear what you think out there......but have to agree with John Peel, it has got to be Teenage Kicks by The Undertones...

As singles go I personally think "Its a long way to the top (if you want to rock n roll) " by AC/DC takes some beating .....
...... and it has bagpipes too ......

I thought it was generally accepted that the ultimate 45" single is 'Stand and Deliver' by Adam and the Ants?
it has the bestest ever video too.

Nah - if we're talking about the mighty Adam it has to be "Car Trouble"Black Shuk wrote:I thought it was generally accepted that the ultimate 45" single is 'Stand and Deliver' by Adam and the Ants?

you might be onto something there...Dreamweapon wrote:I would have to say it is Fool's Gold by the Stone Roses
or maybe "there she goes" by the la's. its just pure and perfect pop. everything you would want a pop song to be, and thus by definition the best single (as singles are a pop medium).

I'd say Siouxsie & the Banshees - Cities in Dust.
After hearing that that song on the radio (and later from the 7") I recognized, that there's much more music around than the stuff from the charts - and than "This Corrosion" came out...
Didn't know before...

Being a Libran I couldn't possibly state one ultimate single. I can sense a "Bestive Fifty" coming on

Well, if it's pop songs were after, you can't beat a bit of Erasure...I'd struggle (AGAIN - fecking star signs..) to name only one but what about 'Stop' for starters?Quiff Boy wrote:you might be onto something there...Dreamweapon wrote:I would have to say it is Fool's Gold by the Stone Roses
