    Richard Archer got a lot of stick for this at the time, I think it was a very brave choice, but I think he pulls it off quite well and I think that its the only time Weller has performed this since 1982! (quite amusing to see Steve Cradock come in too soon!)

    Watcha pop pickers,
    I just wondered what records blew you away in the opening introduction. The tune announcies itself and you know this is epic . In my case
    A) This Charming Man . Smiths .
    When l heard that Johnny Marr opening jangle guitar l was totally in heaven and Moz's poetry , Oscar Wilde meets kitchen sink Northern grit.
    B) Teen Spirit . Nivarna. That intro and the angst that was to come .
    C. London Calling . Clash . The impact intro from arguably punks most influential band .D) All you need is love . Beatles. The Frenchie brass intro announce Lennon's flowers power classic .
    E) Gimme Shelter . Stones . Just can't get any better .
    D) Bitter sweet. Verve .
    Even that the opening is nicked from the Stones it has become Brit pops most played piece.

    They all set the bar from the very beginning that hooks you in instanly. Other great records may get you later but these take you in instanly .

    You got the right answers.
    And "Temptation" by Heaven 17 did only make #2, not #1

    Soft Cell only got 1% of sales revenue for Tainted Love ??
    You have to make an utter monster version then to make money from that.

    No, Heaven 17 got 1% of the royalties from "Don't You Want Me"
    "Tainted Love" was a cover anyway, but I'm sure Soft Cell got more than 1% of the royalties for their version

    Current USA royalty rates would be 10% for a typical cover (9.5 cents -
    assuming 95 cents for the cost of a track download) . I did think 1% revenue from
    a cover would be too low for Soft Cell to have made serious money from Tainted Love.
