Crackers in this round, but I've been waiting for How Soon Is Now?, so that's my vote please, Tek.

How soon is now.

I don't care much for 'How Soon Is Now?' either.

It's got a great chorus and couple of great lines particulary 'i am human and i need to be loved'...but i find the track too long and a bit repetitive.The riff is great but i just don't think the track has a lot of punch.It's a bit like U2 or something.

My vote goes to 'The Queen Is Dead'.

 

The Queen is dead

Like the Scottish football authorities, making up the rules as you go along...
