Staying with polls and things, a new survey of 7000 Virgin Radio listeners as to the best song ever has put John Lennon ahead of his former bandmates. Lennon's 'Imagine' topped the radio station's favourite ever single poll, ahead of Beatles tracks 'Hey Jude' and 'Let It Be', which came in at 2 and 3 respectively.
The poll then ran as follows: U2's 'One' (4), Robbie's 'Angels' (5), Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (6), Led Zepp's 'Stairway To Heaven' (7), The Police's 'Every Breath You Take' (8), The Eagles' 'Hotel California' (9) and then, presumably voted for by those with very short memories, James Blunt's 'You're Beautiful' at 10.
The whole survey runs down as far as 500 - making for quite a lot of reading. Overall the Beatles have the most entries - 33 in total. The Rolling Stones appear 17 times, U2 15 times, and Queen and David Bowie 14 times each. So well done them.
