Try It Just For Once: The SINGLES GOING STEADY Buzzcocks singles poll

Yes, it's a toughie. I'm going with "Harmony In My Head".

Ever Fallen in Love?, but there really aren't any losers on here.

What Do I Get?

Oooh, what do I get?!

"I'm in love again, this time's true I'm sure . . ."

LOVE YOU MORE

"Orgasm Addict"

"I Don't Mind"

Promises, though I did ponder over autonomy.

Why Can't I Touch it?

I like listening to the whole thing, you can hear them becoming Magazine.

Buzzcocks = SO much better than Magazine

I Don't Mind, just ahead of WDIG and HIMH

BOREDOM MUTHA FUCKUAHS!!!!!

BREAKDOWN
TIME'S UP

So tough. Narrowed it down to WDIG?, HIMH, EHN and NA.

I'm gonna go with my gut feeling as soon as I saw this poll and plump for WDIG?

"Ever Fallen In Love". Their most shamelessly pop oriented single was also their best ever moment.

BOREDOM MUTHA FUCKUAHS!!!!!
BREAKDOWN
TIME'S UP

Mark, none of these songs are on the compilation in question.

everbuddy happy nowadays

"Love You More"

for now, "Touch It"

love you more.

"Ever Fallen in Love?"

Can't wait 'til somebody starts a "Greatest 'Greatest Hits' (pre-CD)" poll so I can vote for this unconditionally. But for the moment I'll be happy to choose "I Don't Mind", for that actor/ham/shaman/sham bit, and for the way that Pete Shelley keeps cramming too many words into too few beats 'cause he can't wait to get to that "mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind" chorus.

I!

I WANT YOU!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

so why y yyy yy yyy yyy yyy....

everybody's happy nowadays

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I missed this!

Given that my immediate reaction is to be torn between "Oh Shit!", "Noise Annoys" and "What Ever Happened To?", I don't think my vote would have made a lot of difference ti the outcome 'though.

Missed this too. Would have voted for "Ever Fallen In Love" though I was first introduced to that song by the Social Unrest cover version.

Surprised that "Why Can't I Touch It?" did so well, actually.

Pleased, I am.

Good results. I think I might have gone for "Everybody's Happy Nowadays".

If I had seen poll "Lipstick" wouldn't have been shut out.

Incidentally, here is how they rank as singles per se, for those who care:

1. "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" b/w "Why Can't I Touch It?" - 20 votes combined

Been listening to this a lot lately. I don't know if I could pick one.
I don't think I voted in this. Maybe "I Don't Mind." Yeah.
