May 21, 201015 yr thank god for punk! otherwise this chart would be pretty pants. my likes 3 10 The Boy From New York City DARTS .......... a great bit of doo wop I thought that this would have been the kind of record that people would have not have liked on here, though my opinion is actually based upon the Allison Jordan version [she was the girl who won a That’s Life ‘Search For A Star’ competition in about 1992, though rather than being the new Sheena Easton, she actually became the lead singer of Cappella]. I am not too familiar with Darts but I think they would be similar to Showaddywaddy. There seemed to be a lot of acts that were 1950s ‘throwbacks’ around that time [late 1970s, early 1980s] and I think this was mainly due to “Grease”, but I just missed out on Darts and got Shakin’ Stevens instead [who I liked at the time].

Loz the '50's revival' started in 72 with the move 'california man', woody and lynne disagreeing on the way foreward lead to the mve splitting and becoming eol, and wizzard. roy woods wizzard openly courted the commercial charts and produced a string of decent hits, all 50's style. gary glitter, alvin stardust , showaddywaddy, rubettes, mud, etc all followed through the 'glam era'. original teddyboys hated the new glammed up version of rock n roll... that though tended to die out in the mid 70's, i think punk had more to do with its second incarnation then grease tbh... with rockabilly being big late 70's early 80's with matchbox, stray cats, etc.

June 5, 201015 yr Rita Ray and Darts were fab! This is a pretty dismal chart, though. Thank God for Blondie, Boomtown Rats, Chic, Plastic Bertrand, Squeeze, Ian Dury and Sham 69.... oh, and 'Do It Do It Again'.... terrible... but great.
