How on Earth does Panic get in there ahead of There Is A Light? Its not even that good anyway!

I quite like Panic.

Probably got in because of the history of it.

How Dire Straits are included and NO/JD aren't boggles the mind :nonono:

I would've chucked in LWTUA or Transmission by JD and True Faith or Regret by New Order. Even if we have listened to them to death as NO fans they are fantastic songs, no matter how much we're sick of them! :wink:

I would've replaced Panic with TIALTNGO too, or What Difference Does It Make?

I've said this before somewhere, but anyway... These lists are complied to appeal to yr average music fan and make them feel all smug that they own say 35 of the top 50 of all time - aren't I 'in' when it comes to music, etc. It's all bollocks - no Field Mice - shocking!
