Catching the tail end of this programme summarising the story of Top of the Pops in 1989, I really can't help but wonder if The Happy Mondays doing Hallelujah, with Kirsty MacColl, might be the best ever performance on the show?
It is just wonderful, Shaun off his head, Bez being Bez with his maracas, and Kirsty just being the sheer pop perfection she always was.
There may very well be another that's better, but I can't think of it off the top of my head.
They certainly blew away the Stone Roses on that show.
Mind you, if they'd ever have done She Bangs the Drums...
Or if the Pixies could have done Veluouria...
I dunno...
