Haven't done one of these for a while, so I thought I'd go right back to the beginning.

Here's the top ten from John Peel's 1976 Festive Fifty. Vote for your favourite.

Incidentally, at this time the poll was for the best songs ever, not just for that year (that came in later years).

It was tough between Jimi and Dylan, but I went for Jimi eventually.

A Day in the Life with Desolation Row not far behind.

I'd consider SOYCD, but I don't know which one he's talking about.

What, no Henry Cow?
*grumbles, then puts on "In Praise Of Learning for the 1,000th time*
It has to be Pink Floyd's "Echoes"
