June 3, 200916 yr 1 Blondie - Sunday Girl ............................................................. classic song, excellent number one 2 Roxy - MusicDance Away ........................................................ never cared much for this song and it still gets lots of plays on the Gold stations 3 Anita Ward - Ring My Bell ....................................................... owned this at the time and loved the song back then but don't care much for it now 4 Earth Wind & Fire With The Emotions - Boogie Wonderland ......... great disco song that I just never got around to buying at the time 5 Peaches & Herb - Reunited ...................................................... dull, dull soppy song 6 M - Pop Muzik ......................................................................... owned this on both 7" and Double Groove 12". As corny as anything but a great song 7 Electric Light Orchestra - Shine A Little Love .............................. ELO trying to go a bit disco but it's a poor song 8 McFadden & Whitehead - Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now ..................... liked this back then, sounds tired now 9 The Shadows - Theme From 'the Deer Hunter' (Cavatina) ........... boring (mark I) 10 David Bowie - Boys Keep Swingin' ......................................... this may be the first Bowie song that I actually liked at the time of release 11 Donna Summer - Hot Stuff .................................................... excellent disco song, good fusion of rock and disco and that thumping beat is magnificent 12 Abba - Does Your Mother Know .............................................. never liked Abba and hated this even more. Awful 13 Gary Moore - Parisienne Walkways ......................................... good, moody song 14 Tubeway Army - Are 'Friends' Electric ..................................... good song, sounded like nothing else at the time 15 Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes .................................................... hideous song 16 Sparks - The Number One Song In Heaven ............................. not bad. Beat The Clock was better 17 Sister Sledge - We Are Family ................................................ never cared much for this one 18 Edwin Starr - HAPPY Radio ..................................................... nor this. I much preferred Contact 19 The Skids - Masquerade ........................................................ after Into The Valley this was a let down 20 The Police - Roxanne ............................................................ had this on blue vinyl 7" but now I can't really listen to the record anymore 21 Eruption - One Way Ticket ..................................................... awful Euro disco from the Boney M related group 22 The Undertones - Jimmy Jimmy ............................................. not their best 23 Amii Stewart - Knock On Wood .............................................. had this on clear vinyl 12". Good disco song 24 Squeeze - Up The Junction ..................................................... and had this on lilac vinyl. Not as good as Cool For Cats but still quite good 25 Dollar - Who Were You With In The Moonlight .......................... awful, sugary rubbish 26 The Clash - I Fought The Law ................................................. not their best 27 Quantum Jump - The Lone Ranger .......................................... irritating song, the theme from Kenny Everett's programme on ITV 28 Boney M - Hooray Hooray It's A Holi-Holiday ............................ one of their worst hits in what wasn't that great a catalogue of songs! 29 The Damned - Love Song ....................................................... they finally got to chart with a rather boring song 30 Lene Lovich - Say When ......................................................... not as irritating as Lucky Number, more bland than anything else 31 Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me ...................................... didn't mind this back then, sounds dull now 32 Elvis Costello - Accidents Will Happen ...................................... not bad but not his best 33 Gerry Rafferty - Night Owl ...................................................... imagine Baker Street without the killer sax riff and this is a duller version of what would be left 34 The Monks - Nice Legs Shame About Her Face .......................... awful, corny song by Hudson Ford under another name 35 John Williams - Cavatina (Original Soundtrack From 'the Deer Hunter') ... boring (mark II) 36 Chas & Dave - Gertcha .......................................................... these two guys really did make some rubbish.

June 3, 200916 yr 7 Electric Light Orchestra - Shine A Little Love .............................. ELO trying to go a bit disco but it's a poor song As a lifelong ELO fan - and Jeff Lynne was/is a terrific songwriter and producer - I was disappointed extremely with this song - especially when there was one killer song on the album that should have been released as a single - I Need Her Love. It seems that they chickened out and instead of going for an absolutely blinding ballad - they went for this 'Very Disco' (the album was Discovery) bland and sickly tune!

NormaI was never a fan or anything and only really know the singles but I did like a few of the singles they released from 1976 to 1978 but I just couldn't get into much of what they released in 1979 and 1980. They just seemed to lose direction. Shine A Little Love and The Diary Of Horace Wimp were poor, Don't Bring Me Down was better and Last Train To London was OK. But their 1980 singles were very poor, I didn't like any of them and by then they sounded tired.

June 6, 200916 yr I know & like: 1 Blondie - Sunday Girl 2 Roxy Music - Dance Away 4 Earth Wind & Fire With The Emotions - Boogie Wonderland 6 M - Pop Muzik 7 Electric Light Orchestra - Shine A Little Love 9 The Shadows - Theme From 'the Deer Hunter' (Cavatina) 10 David Bowie - Boys Keep Swingin' - He may have seemingly retired after his near fatal heart attack in 2004. But his back catalogue of groundbreaking "Sound & Vision" will keep his legacy going forever. Especially with new artists like Lady GaGa coming along who are heavily indebted to his art. 8jRODPlfhys 11 Donna Summer - Hot Stuff 12 Abba - Does Your Mother Know 13 Gary Moore - Parisienne Walkways 14 Tubeway Army - Are 'Friends' Electric 15 Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes 16 Sparks - The Number One Song In Heaven 17 Sister Sledge - We Are Family 19 The Skids - Masquerade 20 The Police - Roxanne 22 The Undertones - Jimmy Jimmy 23 Amii Stewart - Knock On Wood 24 Squeeze - Up The Junction 26 The Clash - I Fought The Law 29 The Damned - Love Song 31 Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me 32 Elvis Costello - Accidents Will Happen 33 Gerry Rafferty - Night Owl 37 The Tubes - Prime Time 38 Eddy Grant - Living On The Front Line A pretty great chart.
