The Age reports today that NME have declared Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart and Pulp’s Common People are the number one and number two greatest tracks of the past 60 years. I’m more than happy with this, although I can hear the cries of rock and roll purists from here, and I’d be just as happy to have them swapped around.
The greatest thing for me though is that I’ve seen both of the songs performed live by the band (or remnants there of) in the past 12 months.
