I'd say 20% is pretty good going, Dan! I was around then (a kid obv ) and I actually only def knew 23 of 'em by the end of the year

Posted by: coi 18th December 2019, 12:46 PM

I know 21 of them

Mostly the same as Dan (except a couple on there I don't know) but I'm also familiar with I'll Never Fall In Love Again, It's Your Thing, In The Year 2525 and Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town.

21 is pretty fine!
