Look that made best ever rock interview

Staring intently into one another's eyes, Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence had no idea of the tragedy ahead when they first met on live TV in 1986.

Another 10 years would pass before Yates would leave Bob Geldof and go public with her passionate love for the INXS singer.

But this now portentous moment from Channel 4's The Tube, shows the instant spark of attraction when the ill-fated pair met.

But this was the moment that really set the affair in motion, and experts at film and TV archive service ITN Source have just voted it most momentous British rock 'n' roll interview in their collection.

The clip shows the pair flirting wildly - in the same year that Yates wed Bob Geldof. She said later: "He was so heartbreakingly beautiful it made me feel quite feeble.

"I mainly interviewed Michael's crotch and at the end he asked me back to his hotel room. I said, 'Crikey, no, I've got a baby'."

The meeting was eight years before Yates's famous Channel 4 interview with Hutchence on the Big Breakfast bed - the moment many had taken to be the start of their attraction.

In 1997, three years after the couple got together, Hutchence was found dead in mysterious circumstancesin a hotel room in Sydney. Yates died of an accidental overdose three years later.

The second most notorious TV interview features Russell Harty and Keith Moon in 1973. The Who's drummer is seen giving a stream of nonsensical answers, calling Harty's "bachelor" status into question, performing a strip and trying to rip the sleeve from the chat show host's suit.

In third place, Johnny Rotten vents his spleen on TV host Chris Cowey in Check It Out in 1979 - storming off after being asked if he had "sold out". Bill Grundy's notorious encounter with the Sex Pistols is not on the list as ITN do not own the rights to the footage.

In fourth place is Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder's appearance on TFI Friday in 1995 when he repeatedly swore.
