    Gawd, so many to choose from.

    Probably change from minute to minute, right now I'd say 'Psycho Killer' by Talking Heads.

    Can't choose between:

    White Man in Hammersmith Palais - The Clash
    Golden Brown - The Stranglers
    This Must be the Place - Talking Heads
    Here Comes Your Man - Pixies
    My Iron Lung - Radiohead

    And they're just the ones off the top of my head, way too many more to add to the list I reckon.

    I've thought of one (and loads more) Its outta left field and has a connection to Duran Duran shockingly - Stephen "tin tin" Duffy Kiss me (You're Mine) A case of perfect pop and thats what a single should be in the end. I have a soft spot for a soaring portamentu mono synth.

    Mike.

    Radiohead - Pyramid Song



    Most of my fave songs were never even considered as singles.

    Snap! (As in, mine is too, not Rhythm is a Dancer or The Power).

    It's a difficult one but I always find myself thinking about Blue Monday when asked the question.

    Nuclear Holiday, by 3 Colours Red

    It got me into rock music, and is still, 11+1/2 years on, one of my favourite songs!
