Well who would have thought the classic Pink Floyd lineup would have reformed for Live8 or Led Zeppelin reform for this 02 Concert tribute to the founder of Atlantic Records after all these years of various acrimony between band members. Both of these reformations have occurred when the band...

Out of the list i would have voted for "November Spawned A Monster", but am I the only person here who loves the video to "Ouija Board, Ouija Board"?

For me Morrissey & Marr were The Smiths. I don't feel Andy Rourke's & Mike Joyce's contributions to The Smiths were as significant as say John Paul Jones & John Bonham were to Led Zeppelin. The Smiths were the best Band of the 1980s, that is where they belong as four twenty-somethings from...

Sadly NME, has gone downhill in the last five years & this popularist list reflects that. Let's see where The Libertines, Babyshambles & the Gossip are in 15/20 years time. Still looking on the bright side, none of this dreadful EMO music has made the list.

An easy 10. A classic by any artists definition.

Every Day Is Like Sunday Vs Is It Really So Strange?

A pretty catchy track, albeit a little on the lightweight side (7)

Sadly, it is one of my least favourite Smiths tracks = 6 out of 10.
