Comfortably Numb at 25? How dare they! Number one I should think! Greatest song ever written!

 Superb song (and my favourite PF number), but this is - remember- supposed to be best driving songs. I see Comfortably Numb as more a late-night listening at home with large glass of something!

Re: Planet Rock Top 40

I guess! Still gets the ol' Megane revving though! It is defiently Pink Floyd's best song...Infact, was it not voted number one greatest song on BBC Radio 2 last week?

Seriously though, I absolutely love Comfortably Numb, sends tingles down my spine, I even like the Scissor Sister's version (isn't that heresy?!). Doesn't really matter to me where a random radio station puts it in a chart they probably dreamt up over a few drinks!! Just enjoy dudes.

So a radio station that can't be listened to in a car lists a same old same old selection of predictable driving music.

I think I'll put on a CD.

 I agree on the predictability Sleep, but not the inability for it to be heard in-car - I think the point of the chart was to promote Pure Digital's Highway, the little device that (very effectively) turns any car radio into a DAB one.

Albeit one which won't be picking up Planet Rock for much longer.
