Virgin poll reveals Lennon's Imagine as best-ever single
Posted:
Shoved into second and third places were 'Hey Jude' and 'Let It Be', which of course involved Lennon in some way, too.
The top ten goes like this:
1: John Lennon 'Imagine'
2: The Beatles 'Hey Jude'
3: The Beatles 'Let It Be'
4: U2 'One'
5: Robbie Williams 'Angels'
6: Queen 'Bohemian Rhapsody'
7: Led Zeppelin 'Stairway To Heaven'
8: The Police 'Every Breath You Take'
9: The Eagles 'Hotel California'
10: James fucking cunting Blunt 'You're Beautiful'
Y'see, I was always of the thinking that 'Stairway...' was never released as a single. But, I suppose I'm wrong, just like all the Virgin Radio listeners that somehow voted for Blunt to be way up there. Anyway, overall The Beatles appear 33 times (there's a list of 500 in all), The Rolling Stones 17 times, U2 15 times and Queen 14 times. Bravo.

I think that James Blunt song is really good
and deserves to be voted the 10th best single of all time.
-
why?
why not 1st??/
-
What a
thoroughly predictable list.YAWN.
-
Imagine
is number one? PUKE.
What a crock of shit.
-
Some people just deserve to die
Notably, the listeners of Virgin Radio. Why don't they just exhume him and suck his cock? we all know that they're begging for it.

worst list EVER
i hate virgin radion, but i love the beatles, yet their listeners manage to choose possibly the two worst beatles songs of all time to be there. shocking! the same goes with lennon, so many of his songs were better than imagine. i don't think comment on james blunt is really needed - fuck right off

*fucks right off*

*shakes head*
this country...

Stairway to Heaven
wasn't released as a single but I think Virgin radio just said it was a top 500, not that it was top 500 singles. Virgin listeners were never going to pick anything too interesting but theres no need for Blunt.
Still, at least the JCB song wasn't there.

i barely
care enough to post this.
really. who gives a shit? -
where the fuck
is rolf harris?

Too right
I really *hate* Hey Jude and Let it Be.. and Imagine is totally overrated too. There are so so many better Beatles / Lennon songs... sigh. Still.. I guess its the market they were appealing to... if they'd asked the same question to Evening Session listeners, or Xfm listeners, the result would have been very different (although I'm sure Smells Like Teen Spirit would have been in there and there are way too many better Nirvana songs for that to get a place) - it was just predictable.

Oh dear
It's times like this that I think myself lucky that I can barely recieve Radio 1 and nothing else...
Great use of the word 'cunting'.

People are deaf
or just aurally dead, one or t'other.
But then it was Virgin.
More interestingly, Newsnight viewers voted The Holy Bible as their favourite record. which is a little bizzre.

James Blunt
had the power to distract u from Knobbie Williams being number 6...and also the MOR antics of the police and the eagles...FUCK VIRGIN RADIO(slight double meaning)....

jokes...(though understandable if looking at politics...it must be one of the best political albums of all time)
-
I don't think Zep
ever released any singles.
