Q magazine have brought out one of their bright ,
flashy , graphic laden specials , this time all about
their choice of the 1001 best songs . U2`s One is
No.One - which makes a difference from Bohemian
Rhapsody(No.524) or Imagine(127), I suppose .
Elvis features with Pump It Up at 474 and I Want
You at 194. Pump.. is classified as `BEST FOR`
throwing punchy soul moves. The accompanying text
(credited to Tom Doyle)notes
WHAT IT DOES Cribs the disdainful delivery of
Dylan`s Subterranean Homesick Blues for Costello`s
ultimate rant. With The Attractions providing the
muscular Stax-cum-garage-rock it`s an atypical but
genuine floor-filler.
FACT He wrote it on the fire escape at a Newcastle
hotel during Stiff Records` 1977 tour - disgusted that
his roadmates were taking the sex and drugs and
rock`n`roll ethos all too literally.

I Want You is BEST FOR destroying yourself. Emma
Warren notes
WHAT IT DOES Throws your worst paranoid fears
back at you. Brutal and vicious , Costello whispers
stalker violence and obsesses two-note guitar solos.
Chris Martin once described Trouble as " a bad song
that can make things worse". I Want You is exactly
that - times a thousand.
FACT Recorded live in the studio on one mic, it
comes from Blood And Chocolate Costello`s (first)
divorce album.

Surrender by Tim Buckley

Bohemian Rhapsody
I'm surprised that the Mighty "Bohemian Rhapsody" was ranked so low....
The best song of all time in my book!
