My 82 Favourite Punk Rock Singles ‘77-‘79
#1 Buzzcocks - ‘Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)’
“I can’t see much of a future / Unless we find out what’s to blame / What a shame / And we won’t be together much longer / Unless we realize that we are the same”
Perhaps I am just being contrarian by putting this at #1, but it is my genuine feeling that no other ’70s punk single has the same combination of emotional resonance, catchy songwriting, and straightforward energy. Buzzcocks are a brilliant band, and this is the pinnacle of their achievements.
