The debate has been raging on social networking sites ever since it was announced that Blast Off would close in January.

But the final song, which will bring an end to 18 years of musical memories at the Civic Hall club, has now been decided.
However Dave Travis, promoter of the legendary club, is keeping tight-lipped about which song will bring the curtain down on the final night tonight.
Last night organisers staged a penultimate Blast Off for fans who couldn't get tickets for the grand finale due to the overwhelming demand. Hundreds turned out at the Civic Hall last night. And orgnaisers are expecting many more tonight.
Mr Travis said: "We've been speaking to a lot of people on Twitter and Facebook to see what they would most like to hear as the last song to be played. It's mostly a mixture of Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis and I Am The Resurrection by The Stone Roses. Obviously Mr Brightside is also a big one because I think that is liked by so many people, but I think people either love it or hate it.
We've decided on what song it is we are going to play last, but now we are just thinking about what the penultimate song is going to be.
"It's probably the toughest set list to think about and this is the most involved I've ever been with the DJs ahead of a Blast Off."
For the final night, many of the previous DJs are making a return, including the first ever DJ at the club, Paul Sanders, who kicked off the night in 1996.
Chris McCabe, who is now a professor at University of Birmingham, will be there, alongside Rupert Knowlden, now a manager at the Civic Halls.They will be joined by current DJs Imran Khan, Gavin Priest and Carl Auzins. The night will also be even more momentous for Mr Travis, who will be having his first alcoholic drink in more than 18 years.
He has been tee-total since the first Blast Off night in 1996.
Mr Travis said: "Out of the 915 Blast Offs I have probably been to about 825 of them."
