I'll leave it down to you whether you want to base your vote on Too Much Too Young or The Specials Live! e.p. as a whole. I am guessing Too Much Too Young was the lead track. My knowledge for The Specials = 0.

There were only 2 tracks on "Special AKA Live!" The most famous track and a medley of three songs:
Some great singles this year, and in MASH, Logan, Streisand and the people who made one warm to Herod at Christmastime, four of the ten all-time worst records ever released. At least until W***life came along.
