It's all down to personal preferance really. I'd put these three up with the best:
Cream...Crossroads (live version at the BBC), three musicians at their peak. Stunning drums and bass, and Slowhand at His best.
Undertones...Teenage kicks (if it's good enough for John Peel it's good enough for me)
Buzzc*cks...Ever fallen in love (thumping pace throughout, full of energy)
