February 25, 20196 yr Very underrated song that one! Big fan of the pop-meets-operatic style. Indeed, it's one of the most hated retro # 1s now. :( My favourite single from 1982, the follow-up "Just One More Kiss" is very lovely too. :wub: Edited February 25, 20196 yr by Good Old Days

February 26, 20196 yr Looks like Dynamite received loads of low votes then rather than being completely left out of most. Shame to see that one land so far down but could be worse.
February 26, 20196 yr Dynamite really hasn't aged well at all but it is a song I do love to reminisce to!
February 26, 20196 yr Author 42. Bucks Fizz - The Land Of Make Believe 79 pts Writers - Andy Hill,Pete Sinfield Top points - Good Old Days 25,Campbell 17,King Rollo 15 A great pop song and the best of Bucks Fizz's three no.1s. I don't think anyone realised at the time that it was a protest song. The lyrics were written by ex King Crimson member Pete Sinfield who was criticising the policy of Margaret Thatcher's government. l6DOGITIfAY
February 26, 20196 yr Sign of The Times was a brilliant and unexpected debut solo single for Harry. The video is amazing too, I wish I could fly like him. :angel: However, he didn't release anything good since then and I think he is being ostracized by everyone. :cry:
