Is it the best , musically, or my favourite?

The best , musically has to be Bohemian Rhapsody. Groundbreaking in its day, no one has ever covered it with any success.

As I say, I’m not even sure I like it that much, but, I do think it’s musical genius.

The best as in my favourite ever single is below.

[GREASED WEASEL]

If EP's count

This thread is useless without [MENTION=15734]harry[/MENTION] Wilson’s tackle contributing a 1980’s German techno rock- folk fusion that got to number 87 in the Albanian top 100 singles

Could anything be more beautiful than the Small Faces with P.P. Arnold?

 

[Weststander]

This for me , the only 7 inch single I actually purchased new .

Great choice. Another I played on repeat on vinyl.

 

[Weststander]

Aztec Camera & Mick Jones - Good Morning Britain

Lyrics perfectly encapsulate the time

With the charismatic frontman Piers Morgan.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Since I have only one go, and agree to stick with it, I'm going for this. Had the pleasure of seeing them do this live at the Luvafair in Vancouver in 1984

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Penny Lane.

Blimey, is all I have to say

 

[Barrow Boy]

Marvin Gaye's vocals on this song are among the finest ever recorded in popular music. (IMHO of course)

Mate, I had a good think about what to post while taking my car in for a service this morning. The result is posted above. If you're interested, the other runners and riders were:

Howard Devoto - Rainy season
Killing Joke - Are you receiving
Yello - I love you
Rebeat - Machines in motion
The Style Council - Long hot summer
Ministry - Jesus built my hotrod

and an honourable mention for the best ep ever, Snakecharmer by Jah Wobble and chums.

And true to my promise I'm not posting any links

That is a good shout, a timeless classic that I still love, even though I have heard it thousands of times
