@Random Restoration I'm a Brit, but live in the US and have done for about 14 years now... definitely a man :) I'm the Chris from your Dad's picture of them and the crew outside the motel in Kansas in the 70s. "Chris Barrie and Digby" Barrie passed away year before last, but Digby's still knocking around! Were you around in the Only Ones days?
@Random Restoration I still listen to them often! The new live release from Chicago is pretty good in places too! I think I did meet you back then up at your house up in Highgate if I remember well... it's a little hazy these days!
Peter Perretts vocal! OMG, this stupendously great song transports me right back to the late 70s. The Only Ones came outta the punk and new wave scene. This song is totally ICONIC. I love it so much.
Possibly the greatest rock single ever released! Even after 42 years, it still sounds as fresh and vital as the day it was released. Not an unnecessary note in the entire song, just a pure rocketship headed straight to the stars. I'm STILL in awe.
This is the song my friend who recently passed wanted playing as he' s fried. R.I.P Craig. He had a tattoo of the dragon off the album. It is a right tune.
Irish people of a certain vintage will recognise the intro especially. It was used at the start of the Dave Fanning Rock Show on RTE Radio 2 every weekday night all through the 80s. He was our "John Peel" and he knew a good tune when he heard it.
My mates and I used to go on annual fishing holidays in Southern Ireland in those years and we always caught the show at 10 for this track each evening. Magic for us young English lads, great days and music.
I love this tune, the whole thing, but I gotta say, this guitar solo is, well... transcendent. In the late Seventies I would play this over and over, and it still sounds just as good now as it did then.
I feel blessed to have been a teenager when this came out, what a song! Why hasn't it got MILLIONS of views? It's so well put together and performed, that guitar solo is so fine and the other musicians are too...SNAZZY!
@@vapourmile that's a crass and basically inaccurate way to put it because some of us discovered it later in life and it is an eternally perfect song. So sorry to burst your bubble mr. Poopy Pants :P
Capital radio decided it was a ‘drug song’ and while the BBC didn’t ban it there was a whispering campaign. Meant the record got far less all important radio play. In the pre-MTV era it only took 3 or 4 weeks to make or kill a single. And good or bad is beside the point. A bad record at no 1 makes as much money as a good one.
I cant seperate this song from a dark period of my youth,where i was filling my veins with poison. Great music,but painfilled lonely times that i dont look back on with any fondness.I'm 57 now.
Great track! I'm a 53 year old aging punk rocker! Worked as a roadie with several punk bands back in my 20s, good times! In my youth, I had lots of tough times. But I try not to dwell on the past. Don’t look back at the bad times my friend Anthony, look forward to a beautiful and precious life. A spectacular orange sunset, a fresh-smelling forest. The innocent laugh and smile of a child. The 30,000 lenses of a dragonfly’s eyes, allowing it to see 360 degrees. The vermiculate patterns of a brook trout, holding against the current in a crystal clear mountain stream. A great music track, such as this. There is so much beauty around us, but sometimes we do not see it. Fall in love with life, and its beauty. We only get one shot at life, treasure it.
Had a rough time too - got way too spaced out. The music was just so good but there are a couple of pieces I just can't listen to because of the dark memories. XTC's Senses Working Overtime is one. This piece is great though, I was still out there gigging and fighting the NF when this came out. Never saw them live (I think). Good to see you're still with us.
Glad to hear you're doing well now. I find this quite fascinating.. I'm 23, bought my first scooter last year around the same time I first heard this song. It's one of those that will always remind me of a really special time in my life.
Remember poggoing? Dancing to this as a young punk rocker in 1978/9. Happy memories. Wish I could go back and bathe in the memories. Take it easy...relax and enjoy my youth.
You CAN go back and bathe in the memories, you were doing it when you heard this track again, probably for the first time in years; you were doing it when you typed your comment and if you're reading this, you're doing it again now. Fun isn't it..?
I always think this song is so great it's unimaginable. Once saw a DJ in Brighton playing it, he was standing on a table in the middle of the room with everyone dancing around him - amazing image
One of my favourite songs of all time. This is getting played at my funeral and they'd better put my air guitar in the coffin with me, so I can join in on the solo.
Mitch Mitchell meets Keith Moon. Wow what incredible drums on one of the best power pop songs ever! Never fails to blow me away. That's the way it's done, Mike Kellie. RIP.
As John Peel once described another fantastic single in 1978, this is 3 minutes of absolute brilliance. Well I think so anyway. Regards from Hertfordshire.
Inspired Robert Smith from The Cure to write the song "Just like Heaven" Roberts own word: "Although I didn’t realise it at the time, the structure is actually very similar to a song called 'Another Girl Another Planet' by The Only Ones, which I can still vividly remember hearing on the radio late at night in the mid-70s. The main difference is that as the song progressed, I introduced some different chord changes which give it that slightly melancholic feeling."
@@lervish1966they never can. It's just an extremely lazy youtube cliche to call everything underrated. The commenter and those liking imagine it gives them some rarer obscure taste
There's always somebody in the comment section on these classical songs who has to say that. This is a real famous song really well known and covered by lots of different artists. It is absolutely NOT underrated
One of the first singles I bought when I was 11 or 12, hearing it first like many of my generation, late at night on the John Peel show with the radio under my pillow! The flipside track 'Special View' is often overlooked and well worth a listen!
Yeah - i grew up in a little fishing town on the northern peninsula of Newfoundland - my older brother and I in bunkbeds, passing a little radio back and forth song for song in our bedroom lit up by the northern lights - this stuff coming at us from the future, a message from our then and future other selves - another world, another planet
The timing is beautifully chaotic, pure 'feel'. Fills me with excitement and joy, just to hear notes rushing, but just enough to be perfectly off the beat, by a wonderful amount. Not out of time, raw emotion.
"Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace." Oscar Wilde.
fortunately he snapped out of that on his deathbed and realized how serious a journey he was about to take, and asked for a priest to bring him to Jesus. death won't be pleasant without God, and neither is heroin. this song is nice though

I first heard this great song as the intro music to Dave Fanning's radio show in Dublin a long time ago. I tried without success to find it a few times over the years. The opening build-up is unforgettable. I mistakenly thought the song was by Stiff Little Fingers. Then recently it popped up in my UA-cam feed! Now added to my favorites list!
Thank you for posting this. Still the greatest song in my all time list, closely followed by its the truth and no peace for the wicked. I put them on and I'm as confused as any other 15 year old, even at 58. My brother had the first album and I would buy the rest. I remember buying Remains and reviewing it in deadbeatfanzine #27, in 1984 thinking the end of the world had passed! The Only Ones never wrote a bad song and Peter's voice in my head just worked. Carousel works for me nowadays but it wont change my life the way Another Girl, Another Planet did!
I was so chuffed my teenage daughter pointed me at this song. Gurl, I lost both my vinyls of this tune half a decade before I met your ma, here, let me show you the bassline on your uke.
@@kirkdonnelly6450 is it the word "chuffed" that you don't understand or are you just "taking the piss"?

I’m a millennial and first heard this when one of my favorite pro skateboarders got the ok to have this song used for his part. Really glad they said ok Because it’s freaking amazing. Great song to cruise and skate too.
This is the only song ever made that comes close to Alternative Ulster by SLF with regard to such meaningful personal lyrics and a blistering guitar solo! What a belter of a song this is!!
I got to see Jonathan and his Modern Lovers live at Manchester University students union hall back in the mid 1980's. This was their opening song where he came dancing onto the stage during the drum roll intro to this. It was an intimate fun evening with all his endearing songs from throughout his career.
One of the best live performances of one of the best british groups ever. the songs shortness fits to the highspeed-performance. the punk attitude is great and snotty. one more!!!!
I was their sound mixer and tour manager for all their career from just before signing with Epic to the 'breakup' in NYC in late '80. So many good, but often hazy, memories!

Your not bragging! I pretty much agree
YOU'RE NOT WRONG.
Do you live in a cave ? Or do you use hearing aid ?
Please check out my punk playlist!! ❤
Hmm, might I suggest you get out a little more.
One of the best singles along with teenage kicks by the undertones to come from the 70s
Yeh, Love and a Molotov Cocktail is a largely unknown classic from that era
Couldnt agree more. Perfect songs.
"Do we miss you, yes we do
Father sends his regards to you
Will I write, well once in a while
I'll send my love and a molotov cocktail..."
It is disturbing to see the Undertones do that song in middle age.
You could add "have i fallen in love " to that list x
Undoubtedly the greatest punk / new wave single of all time with a guitar solo so good it has never been beaten - not a wasted note anywhere.
True story...me & myyy LOVEEE
Best Dire Straits without Mark Knopfler eh.
It takes on a whole new dimension if you listen to it on LSD
@therespectedlex9794 That solo always reminds me of Dire Straits but not so Dire.
This song reminds a lot of people of Whips and Furs by The Vibrat ors. I see it as well in the music.

is not their oficial channel tho
Where is their official channel? This looks like a good candidate. There's too many free loading hipsters in the world, by the way...
Too radical an idea to be mainstream! Lol
Life changing song even today. It's easy to see why it's better covered to death and cited as inspiration by so many.

I saw them perform this in the late 70s at Eric's Club Liverpool. We were blown away and couldn't get the song out of our heads. Still sounds amazing
Super jealous.
Saw many bands at Eric's but missed this one. Great club, great music.
One of the most exciting guitar solos ever encased by the perfect single
The guitar solo is amazing.
John Perry's lead guitar solo on this always reminds me of Mark Knopfler's style on Sultans of Swing.
Saw these guys 78/79 in Newcastle (UK) Loud sweaty and utterly magnificent live.
I also saw them in 78/79 at the Mayfair Ballroom in Newcastle (supported by Wasted Youth), they were great!

I am so happy to see Peter Perrett come through his dark times and is making music again.
The greatest new wave song ever written in my humble opinion and one of rock greatest opening riffs
Agree.

I still think this song is so underrated. It is perfectly executed and has some exceptionally talented musicians playing it.
This song is just a jambalaya mish mash blah. Very plain.

I once stood about 2 foot away from the bass drum ( in a club in Bristol in 1977) whilst they played. Cardinal moment in my musical experience!
first listen aged 16 aged 61 now still one of the best tunes ever
I’m a millennial and first heard this when one of my favorite pro skateboarders got the ok to have this song used for his part. Really glad they said ok
Because it’s freaking amazing.
Great song to cruise and skate too.
This is the only song ever made that comes close to Alternative Ulster by SLF with regard to such meaningful personal lyrics and a blistering guitar solo! What a belter of a song this is!!
Quite possibly the greatest guitar solo EVER!
If you wanted to explain to today's music fans what new wave was all about, this song would be all you would need to play. It is quintessential.
Power Pop at it’s finest!
Most possibly the greatest rock song ever
A standout song from that era!
Great song. Still sounds fresh.
one of those perfect songs (like Teenage Kicks or I Can't Escape Myself)
One of the most charming voices in music. Love. Love. Love.
One of the greatest bands ever!!
Ever. And you. Perhaps enjoy another buttery ear of CORN. Corn EATER!!!!!!!!!!
Vastly underrated band great performance memories come flooding back.
Absolute amazing song. The bass and electric guitar sounds too good
I remember listening to this song when I was 20.. love this song… greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
One of the great pop/rock singles of all time....
I got to see Jonathan and his Modern Lovers live at Manchester University students union hall back in the mid 1980's. This was their opening song where he came dancing onto the stage during the drum roll intro to this. It was an intimate fun evening with all his endearing songs from throughout his career.
This is a classic song. Love it so much it hurts. .❤️🎤🎸🤘
Still love it after all these years ❤
One of the best live performances of one of the best british groups ever. the songs shortness fits to the highspeed-performance. the punk attitude is great and snotty. one more!!!!
YES! YES! YES! Fantastic tune. My friend Ian 'Moggy' Moulsdale R.I.P put me on to these guys . Thank you! x

Just class. All about Heroin and the associated risk - pleasure - lonliness - release.
I detest all drugs...but this song is BEAUTIFUL

That guitar riff is just incredible. For that reason alone this song should be in the Top 10 new wave tunes
