A high class field but going straight in at No. 1 with 'Going Underground' made The Jam the coolest band of the time.

Special AKA Live is Too much Too Young with Guns of Navarone and Longshot...to most of us. The clear winner in a quality field but hampered by the way it's described in the poll, surely? I call foul!

With 12 hours to go it's looking as if Going Underground will take the crown, but a BUNFIGHT between Atomic, Geno and Another Brick In The Wall for the second spot.

If second place is a TIE both songs will proceed.

Saw Bruce Foxton play it last night at The Cavern in Liverpool. Very emotional night.

Was looking forward to seeing them in Worthing on Saturday..............until it was cancelled:down:

Only 16 votes for Too Much Too Young as the polls close?

And yet, in Round 17 as I type there are already seventeen votes for Kylie and Jason's Especially for You...

NSC needs to take a long hard look at itself...
