    Can never undertsand the attraction of this v's other SP songs, for me it never stands out. Love Tainted Love, especially 12in version. Just Kissed my Baby - The Meters Half Past Two - The Stunning Fools Gold - The Stone Roses Light My Fire - The Doors Move On Up 12in - Curtis Mayfield

    Agree with you on Pulp - had a big thing for them back "in the day". And when it comes to songs on the radio I dont' get tired of - I still love Andre2000 Hey Ya. Can't help but have a bop in the car. I know...I'm sad. But at least I'm aware of it :) ais.

    I would go as far as saying it's one the greatest songs ever written. The tension in it is unbelievable. 'The Fear' from the same album is also of a similar epic nature.
