July 28, 20159 yr I've hardly heard any of these, so just a ten from me. you might enjoy the very naughty Judge Dread record, banned (still) on the BBC, as in never ever played ever. reggae novelty smut. I'm pretty sure what the big six he's talking about is... :o :lol:
July 29, 20159 yr Nah, I've heard Judge Dread's Christmas records and they're bad enough! I can only assume Big Six was a prophetic protest record against today's rampant energy companies. Er, or maybe not.
July 29, 20159 yr Big Six is the only one I've heard as it featured on one of those 20 Greatest Hits Arcade/K-Tel albums that I bought. These days that would have led to Parental guidance stickers on it. I've never felt the need to search out the others so I guess they can be left off the 70's lists as no-one has heard them (or likes them) :lol:

Dooleys - A Rose Has To Die 1 Status Quo - Mystery Song 1 I thought Kraftwerk would walk it, but there was a clear victor (and the only one to get over 100 points): 1. Stevie Wonder - Superstition 127 0CFuCYNx-1g The Ultimate 1970s Top 40: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Carpenters - (They Long To Be) Close To You 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Stevie Wonder - Superstition 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. Martha & The Vandellas - Jimmy Mack 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. Undertones - Teenage Kicks 32. 33. Jackson 5 - Never Can Say Goodbye 34. 35. 36. Jeff Wayne's The War Of The Worlds - Eve Of The War 37. 38. 39. 40. The Jam - In The City
July 31, 20159 yr Happy with that, I thought Stevie would walk it - I was surprised Kraftwerk was so high.
July 31, 20159 yr yeah a deserved winner. Some results are very predictable (Undertones/Jam/Jeff Wayne) and some very likely like Stevie, but happy to see some surprises too, most of all so far Jimmy Mack. I love all the winners to bits, bar In The City, which I have just never warmed to, the most ordinary of all The Jam singles for me. Sorry! B-)
