July 31, 200816 yr Here's me likees.... 3 Gary Glitter - Rock And Roll Parts 1 And 2 Forget what he became...without this we'd never have had Doctorin' the Tardis! Plus this was hugely popular with original breaks DJs 4 Alice Cooper - School's Out Oh yes! 6 Terry Dactyl & The Dinosaurs - Seaside Shuffle Erm...I'm more familiar with the Pinky & Perky cover, but it was and is catchy as hell...honest! 7 Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now Lorraine has gone. 9 The Sweet - Little Willy I inherited a 'Best of 72' album from my Dad when I was a kid...only record he ever bought I think...and I loved this to death. 13 David Bowie - Starman One of his best ever...and the Top of the Pops performance - oh yeah. 21 Hot Butter - Popcorn Pretty much the formation of techno and krautrock. Oh yes! Who says no? 36 Hurricane Smith - Oh Babe What Would You Say Just a stupidly lovable song 37 T Rex - Metal Guru The worst T-Rex number one, but that aint saying much. Still a great tune. 39 Richard Harris - MacArthur Park Classic stupidity in vinyl form. I'LL NEVER FIND THAT RECIPE AGAIN! Go for it Dumbledore!
