Great point. The breathy cover versions drive me nuts.

Agreed. I dread to think what 80s/90s/00s classic tracks will get turned into god awful acoustic/string arrangements for the upcoming festive period. Such a cliche.

Is this the most under rated, but commercially successful PSB song? It chartered higher than Domino Dancing but kinda gets forgotten about?
Just listening to it again and it's what I'd class as a perfect PSB song.

Anything which brings this epic song to a new audience can only be good.

A whole lot of overthinking on this message board. As per usual. Just try to enjoy the fact they stay relevant in their own way, and continue to surprise us with stuff like this.

It’s called being a fan

I see the latest EE one is using Out of Space by The Prodigy.
