Is Revol actually the best song on The Holy Bible?

[Parma Violets]

It does make you worry a bit about what the inter-band relationships must have been like at that point for no-one to say, "Richey, what does 'Brezhnev married into group sex' actually mean?" But it's a cracking tune, and in no way deserves to be remembered as the low point of The Holy Bible (a title I'd give to PCP).

- Its a humdinger on guitar.
- Jimbo is wearing the sailor suit in the video.
- Lets not forget the Reading 94 version with the hot boobage in the crowd! (Vomits)
- It was officially the best song on the night at the O2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_s2S...eature=related

Against:

It's shit.

The "against" in this post kind've negates the "for", IMO. In one neat fell swoop, "it's shit" sums it up. There are so many cracking tracks on that album, for example Revol's neighbour "Archives of Pain".
