So, just the one choice please, no “oooh I’m not sure, could be this could be that and I’ll list 10, which will probably all change tomorrow” :wink:

Has to have been released as a single too, no album tracks that weren’t singles

I guess it’s almost certainly going to be a wide choice of songs from the last 70 (feck me :down:) years and depending on your age, a song from your teenage years

Nothing controversial here if you’re an old codger, this is mine

Expecting lots of Punk to appear

Good choices so far! I could happily listen to them all and enjoy them, a lot :smile:

I had to check this was a single release but it was.

I must have listened to this at least every month since about 1985 when a school mate played it to me. I can sing every word (badly). It achieves that "perfect" (sorry) Matt Johnson trick of marrrying up depressing or meaningful lyrics with a tune the postman could whistle. And it's got Jules Holland playing a mental piano solo. Absolutely sublime.

One of my older brothers put me onto that New Wave nectar in early 80’s.

Then repeatedly played loudly on my record deck, to my Dad’s annoyance.

Love it.
