In case you haven't noticed, Happy Mondays are back. To celebrate their return, this Saturday we're giving away their classic album Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches featuring the hits Kinky Afro and Step On.

To mark this auspicious occasion, we asked @guardianmusic followers what their favourite Mondays song is. Here's a handful of the responses we received – the song titles link to YouTube clips:

@profanityswan

Wrote for Luck or Hallelujah. Original versions. Their Hannett stuff was easily their best.

@lilyrosecooper

Shake Your Money. Or was that Black Grape?

@DavidGaffney78

Dennis & Lois. "We're twice as likely, we're twice as bright."

@Zardoz67

I feel I am in the minority here but Judge Fudge is my favourite by some distance.

@NewhamSue

Wrote for Luck with Step On included as best cover by the band.

@brasseye

"Tune" is a bit rich for HMs, don't you think?

@robinturner

Brain Dead comes out top on most days but Stinkin' Thinkin' is pretty bloody incredible.

@Ross_Edwardz

Lazy-itis. Postmodern classic.

• Over to you: let us know what you think is Happy Mondays' greatest moment in the thread below.
