Though not a number 1,  everyone knows that in reality God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols was the top selling single at that time. The powers that be made damn sure it never officially reached the top spot in Jubilee week to save embarrassment etc.

Thats my pick.

I had you down for a "Whiter Shade of Pale" man.

Thats No 2 on my list Laughing

No when the Pistols came out I got caught up in all the punk/new wave scene as a spotty 19 year old and had a ball for a couple of years, only listening to my Tull albums in secret Embarassed

Never mind the balls...

I don’t necessarily know about it being my favourite, but the first number one which had the biggest impact in my life is “The Legend of Xanadu” by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.

Oooh, those whips! (and I was nine at the time!!), and I’ve just discovered it’s on Spotify…..mmmm, memories.
