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...

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.
