U2's 1991 track 'One' has been named the greatest song ever recorded in a special edition of British music magazine Q's 1001 Best Songs Ever. Music experts placed the tune, which had only a brief and unremarkable spell in the charts, above high-ranking efforts by Elvis and The Beatles.

 

U2 guitarist The Edge said: "When we named it, I always knew it would be number one at something.". The song - which peaked at number seven in the chart and managed just six weeks in the top 75 - is a favourite at weddings and was recorded to dramatic effect by the late Johnny Cash.

 

Radiohead have the highest number of entries in the list with nine songs - the highest, Creep, at number seven. ( :D yaaaaay!!)

 

Top Ten:

1. One - U2

2. I Say A Little Prayer - Aretha Franklin

3. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

4. A Day In The Life - The Beatles

5. In The Ghetto - Elvis Presley

6. My Name Is - Eminem

7. Creep - Radiohead

8. Independent Women Part 1 - Destiny's Child

9. Live Forever - Oasis

10. River Deep Mountain High - Ike and Tina Turner
