The only classics are Elvis, The Moody Blues, Mr Bloe and Status Quo. erm.... thats not quite so is it, i mean the elvis, moodys, and status quo tracks are possibly their least known ones, whilst like it or not, 'alright now', 'in the summertime' and 'spirit in the sky' are all well known and popular... i think they are the 'classics'.
June 20, 200718 yr Author That chart is worse than the current Top40! to quote john mac enroe 'you cannot be serious'! do you think that anything in the current top 40 will be being discussed in 37 years time? theres nothing in it to compare with the variety of music, plus the individuality and artistry for '70. these guys had something original to say, todays chart is just a money spinning machine.
June 20, 200718 yr Down The Dustpipe and Kentucky Rain were huge hits in Australia. Alright Now and Spirit In The Sky have lost something in repetitive radio programming. It's like Imagine. It's a classic but no-one really ever wants to hear it ever again. EDIT: There was a ban on the radio playing records from the UK when this chart came out so Australia had a local cover of In The Summertime by The Mixtures and Yellow River was by Jigsaw in Melbourne and Fantasy in Sydney. Edited June 20, 200718 yr by findingout
