Yesterday the entire music industry wept as the most compelling and important duo of all time called it quits. OK, we could all see it coming after that slightly off performance on Letterman the other year, and the group's ensuing silence, but it came out of the blue, or should I say, the blues. Haw, haw. But the fact is they've gone for good.
And so, what with them being so momentous and inspiring and that, influencing everyone from The Strokes to The Arctic Monkeys to Best Coast to The bleeding Black Keys, I thought I'd compile a list of my top five tunes from the W S' back catalogue:
5. JIMMY THE EXPLODER
4. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS (YOU JUST DO AS YOU'RE TOLD)
3.HELLO OPERATOR
2. SCREWDRIVER
1. FELL IN LOVE WITH A GIRL
