July 7, 201510 yr Looks like it - I had Running Up That Hill in my shortlist but it genuinely didn't make it. It was going to be 50 but I wanted to put On the Inside there in tribute to the hours I wasted in my mid-teens watching P:CBH on ITV in bed. I'd be very happy to see someone other than New Order / Kate Bush win though - they've both plenty representation elsewhere in the list.
