Prompted by the greatest band and greatest single threads.

It’s a boring International break so excuse me going a bit school holidays here.

Do your homework carefully before posting and make sure it’s a DEBUT single

I make no excuses for going for the same band I nominated in the best single category

Blimey. Another thread with so many to choose from.
I’ll go with Transmission by Joy Division.

(hit me) Baby One More Time - Britney

Don't pretend it's not a tune.

I remember seeing this unknown new act from America play her debut song on the national lottery (hosted by dale winton I believe). I was 13, eating cheese on toast at my grandads house and she appeared on the TV in that outfit. The rest is a blur



I believe Rock Lobster was the B52s debut song. Brilliant

Not keen on this as a single, however the album The Kick Inside is one of my favourites

I think I had the same reaction to seeing that the first time as Mejona had on seeing Britney Spears. Still love Marianne, proper feisty woman who has lived a life.

I was came into this world when As Tears Go Bye was out the first time. Probably heard my Stones fan Dad playing both versions .... it's magical and she was so pretty.

Maybe not one of the best but certainly one of the most controversial and era defining in the early 80's :
