[Music] Greatest debut single

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Thinking it must have been Reelin ' in the Years......nope.

Steely Dan's first single. Dallas. Never heard it. It is good.....but not good enough to post.

The b side, however.....is magical.

This had me half a mind to start a thread on Pomp Rock. But nobody wants that.

I have a fair amount of Todd Rundgren on vinyl. But I didn't realize this 6 minute ditty was the first single released by Utopia.



If punk rock hadn't come along there is a danger that I might have turned into Colin Hunt

The best i can find says they released "Ain`t misbehavin" as their first single under the name "Tiger Lily" in 75` , they became Ultravox in 76` with John Foxx as frontman until 79`.

Don`t know whether it count`s but i had his single Underpass from 1980 album Metamatic . I think that was his solo single debut .

I have Underpass* on vinyl too and you're correct.

Saw the original Ultravox at the Rainbow, supporting Eddie and the Hotrods.

*Edit: my snobby flatmate who didn't like 'mannered' music always referred to it as underpants.

A lot of artists these days release individual tracks. One of my favourites is Filejacker. This is his first (single) release.

That is EXACTLY how I picture you, am I wrong then?

Gotta love a debut single that begins with the words 'Jesus f***king Christ, oh God, no!'
