'Afterglow' by Small Faces and 'This is the One' by Stone Roses - both so ecstatic and full of wonder and possibility.
Runners up: 'Bizarre Love Triangle' by New Order and 'Hot Butterfly' by Gregg Diamond.

American Blade Runner
Olivia Colman would have been perfect for this.
Laughable cliché alert: this film contains a wicked act being committed to the accompaniment of a music box nursery rhyme. And it's shit!
It's a lesser work, but Stewart and McKellen played up the comedy side of it to brilliant effect.
It's just outside Leicester Square tube.
I went to see Pinter's 'No Man's Land' at Wyndham Theatre in London, with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. Both amazing and McKellen is incredibly nimble for a 77-year old, moving around the stage like a dancer. Also listened to the Bowie-devised Astronettes' album on Spotify, which I didn't know existed until last…
God, how could I forget Warner. Random Rolls please, AV Club!
Irrfan Khan is always great - would love to see him as a Bond villain. And I've never seen Gerard Depardieu half-arsed in anything either - that wordless sequence in 'Welcome to New York' when he's sizing up the other inmates in his cell is testament to his enduring genius. On the Gallic tip, Marion Cotillard too.
Shouldn't the headline for this be, 'It's got nothing to say, but it's okay'? Beatles' deep cut reference right there.
I love the disco scene accompanied by The Commodores' 'Machine Gun' when things are on the up-and-up.
Rubbish film, but I thought the makers of the 'Sex and the City' missed a trick when they didn't use Abba's 'That's Me', about ''Carrie, not the girl you'd marry'.
It had a massive cult following in the late 80s. I remember visiting the US around then and being shocked that it wasn't that well known (among the people I spoke to).
I assume they used Williams to narrate that documentary as Silvers appeared as a Bilko-in-all-but-name character in 'Carry On Follow That Camel'.
It's showing on UK Forces TV now! If you have Virgin and Sky you can definitely find it there.
That episode and 'The Twitch' are two of the finest half hours of comedy created. I think the Silvers ad-lib when the chimp wanders off is something about the chimp seeking other legal representation.
I hope they reissue some stuff too, The Family album in particular
I have to say I agree. There were mildly amusing moments, but I couldn't find a way in, and just found it kind of pointless.
Chiefly, obviously, a ton of amazing music, and a feeling of anticipation in the 80s that I imagine Dylan fans had in the 60s: 'What the fuck is he going to do next?'
I saw this at the London Film Festival last year and can confirm that it's absolutely dire.
Pet Shop Boys' 'How Can You Expect to be Taken Seriously?' is about, or was at least inspired by, Sting?'
