September 11, 200816 yr before my time, but not so far off from when I started following the charts that I actually recognise quite a few of the songs here without having to youtube them... 1 Slade - Mama Weer All Crazee Now......................... I wasn't a fan of Slade, but as their songs go this is one of the better ones 2 Rod Stewart - You Wear It Well............................... Not too bad 3 T Rex - Children Of The Revolution.......................... one of T Rex's better songs 4 Faron Young - It's Four In The Morning..................... I know I've heard it but I can't remember how it sounds 5 Lynsey De Paul - Sugar Me 6 David Cassidy - How Can I Be Sure......................... I don't mind this one 7 Roxy Music - Virginia Plain...................................... excellent song, I remember it more from its 1977 re-issue 8 Blackfoot Sue - Standing In The Road...................... I remember the video being embedded here a few months ago, quite good 9 Michael Jackson - Ain't No Sunshine......................... :puke2: 10 Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes.................. OK 11 Jackie Wilson - I Get The Sweetest Feeling............. good song 12 Cliff Richard - Living In Harmony 13 Donny Osmond - Too Young 14 The Drifters - Come On Over To My Place.............. remember this from the Wimpy burger adverts from the 80s 15 Derek & The Dominoes - Layla.............................. good song 16 Hawkwind - Silver Machine................................... love this song, remember it more from its 1978 re-issue and what a corker it is 17 Junior Walker & The All Stars - Walk In The Night... I LOVE this song, one of the first soul records I remember and I can remember loving this enough in 1975 to buy it second hand. 18 Little Eva - The Loco-Motion.................................. overrated song 19 The Sweet - Wig-Wam Bam.................................. dreadful! 20 Bill Withers - Lean On Me 21 Judge Dread - Big Six 22 Hot Butter - Popcorn............................................ I don't know whether I love or hate this song! I know I hate the Crazy Frog version... 23 Alice Cooper - School's Out.................................. loved this, not so much now from total over-exposure 24 Dandy Livingstone - Suzanne Beware Of The Devil 25 The Partridge Family - Breaking Up Is Hard To Do 26 Mardi Gras - Too Busy Thinking About My Baby 27 Hurricane Smith - Who Was It 28 Lieutenant Pigeon - Mouldy Old Dough.................. it sounds old even for 1972. Not too keen on it and wasn't then either. 29 The Bee Gees -- Run To Me................................. not bad 30 Terry Dactyl & The Dinosaurs - Seaside Shuffle.... different! I had to look it up on youtube as I thought I'd recognise it 31 Donny Osmond - Puppy Love.............................. :puke2: :puke2: :puke2: 32 The Hollies - Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress 33 Elton John - Honky Cat 34 Duncan Browne - Journey 35 David Bowie - John I'm Only Dancing.................. it took a 1979 re-issue for me to get to hear it. OK but not brilliant. 36 Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now 37 Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Band - Heykens Serenade / The Day Is Ended 38 The Seashells - Maybe I Know 39 Judy Collins - Amazing Grace 40 The New Seekers - Circles................................. I liked this at the time...
September 11, 200816 yr I had an old record of my Dad's with quite a few of these on it. I likes.... 3 T Rex - Children Of The Revolution One of my fave T-Rex songs - should have been a number one as it's much better than Metal Guru and Telegram Sam. 7 Roxy Music - Virginia Plain Who doesn't like this? 8 Blackfoot Sue - Standing In The Road Absolutely love this song - I think I posted the video for it on retro about a year ago too. 10 Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes Probably prefer the Bowie version though. 15 Derek & The Dominoes - Layla Clapton's best song - the piano version is even better. 22 Hot Butter - Popcorn The forerunner of techno anyone? Plus check out the krautrock drumming on it! Shame every other Hot Butter song sounded basically the same. 23 Alice Cooper - School's Out For Summer... 26 Mardi Gras - Too Busy Thinking About My Baby I think these guys were Spanish or something. Not a bad cover of the song best known by Marvin Gaye anyway. 28 Lieutenant Pigeon - Mouldy Old Dough Stupid - but really good. 30 Terry Dactyl & The Dinosaurs - Seaside Shuffle Stupid - but really good. 35 David Bowie - John I'm Only Dancing Not my fave Bowie, but decent.

September 14, 200816 yr I know & like: 1 Slade - Mama Weer All Crazee Now 2 Rod Stewart - You Wear It Well 3 T Rex - Children Of The Revolution - Why did Marc have to die before his 30th birthday, whilst Gary Glitter is still alive today?
