If I had to answer the question, what is the greatest pop song of all time? in truth my answer would have to be this one. "Another Girl Another Planet" may have been a drug song from the repertoire of drug songs from the addled mind of Peter Perrett, but there is no denying this songs quality. That melody sticks in your head after one listen; after three you can recite the words off-by-heart; after five you can even do it in Peter Perrett's nasally whine. If I could play a guitar I could probably play the whole thing with my eyes closed by now, so many times have I heard it.

This is simply pure pop pleasure. From the moment the bass and rhythm guitars start rolling to that opening verse, you know you are in for something special. Throw in some drum work made classy by its simplicity, and then break it up in the middle with a wonderfully clever guitar solo which will have you twitching your legs across a floor, and you know it lives up to all its promise. Yes, this is the perfect pop song. Don't take my word for it, just go out and get your hands on it and enjoy.
