Whether 'Another girl, another planet' by The Only Ones is the best rock single of all time (apparently suggested by All Music Guide), it is certainly the best thing to ever come out of Forest Hill.
Last week's Guardian had a good interview with Peter Perrett, Only Ones lead singer, still holed up in South London. The band basically fell apart amid levels of drug use that would put Pete Doherty to shame, after the split 'Sequestered in a crumbling gothic house in Forest Hill that he fortified against police raids, Perrett took and dealt heroin'. Now the band are reforming (isn't everybody?).
