Bands who's first single was the best they ever did.

[Gordon the Gopher]

Still have the original on Good Vibrations!

 

[Brighton TID]

You're wrong But so is [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION] imo as this is probably my least favourite PSB track. And he's only chronologically right if he's talking about the original recording.

The version in stat brother's original post was the 2nd mix of the song produced by Stephen Hague not Bobby Orlando. Therefore, I am right.

But the original mix and 'One More Chance' were still released before 'Opportunities' so it's not the first single either

The Jesus And Mary Chain – Upside Down
Oasis – Supersonic
Huggy Bear – Her Jazz
The Libertines – What A Waster
The Indelicates – We Hate The Kids

Hmm, thinking about it there's probably less bands whose first single WASN'T their best.

Oasis - Rock and Roll Star
Their first album track, not even a single, but still their best work

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Very much this one. Absolutely cracking track from a group that were much more than a novelty band.

Pedantic alert!

I'm a big fan of The Ruts but IMO this was not their best.

I'm not even sure it was the best side of that single.

I think Babylons Burning takes some beating and Staring At The Rude Boys is much better than In A Rut.

Keane - Somewhere Only We Know

In my own humble opinion, this is the best. Bedshaped is up there, of course it is. Everybody's Changing is a dinger, and even later albums have produced magic like Bad Dream and Atlantic, but really - does anything beat Somewhere Only We Know?

Sorry to be pedantic, but Somewhere Only We Know wasn't their first single.

Something That I Said takes some beating too.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Something That I Said takes some beating too.

Yep another good one.

Have to disagree, 'Wednesday Week' was always my favourite.
