What is your favourite song, EVER?

As there are so many top 3, top 5 etc, how about a top 1? Hard choice..?

If I really had to choose, I would have to say 'I Am The Resurrection'...I think. Love it.

Sorry, I just checked. I guess it was my own conclusion. Anyway, mixing with NO/JD tunes would make a mess out of my top ten :)

It's Only Obvious by The Orchids... The rest of my (permament) top ten runs as follows:

  1. Atmosphere - JD
  2. Sketch For Summer - Durutti Column
  3. Bob Dylan's Dream - Bob Dylan
  4. Barney (And Me) - Boo Radleys
  5. Love Vigilantes - NO
  6. And Before The First Kiss - Field Mice

and then it changes pretty much daily...

tricky I have put more though into this than most multipage ramblings. (I probably posted a stupid reply above somwhere too)

excluding NO/JD

It's either

Absolutely Imune by Act

Four Letter Girl by The Shamen or One of (I really cannot decide which it is, tho I know a couple it's not) the songs from Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds (lauhg if you want, but it made me read Wells , an revelation to say the least)

If I had to include NO, those songs would be fith of 6th at the most, and seperated by many other NO songs and we'd all be here for days.
