Neil B

Yeah, I know that. I meant that Pete banned Mark from posting them on here, and now he's doing exactly the same thing himself.

Er, wasn't Mark Leech banned from doing the exact same thing?? :angry:

Horrible yuppy pop! They slagged the Smiths off in an interview once so that was enough for me to hate them :angry:

I bought the following : U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For The Housemartins - Five Get Over Excited Beastie Boys - No Sleep Till Brooklyn Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction - Prime Mover The Cult - Lil' Devil Hated Starship!! :angry:

This is a great thread! Hadn't noticed it before :)

It's spelt 'Heyward' :)

Ah that'll be the first year that Gambo and co had nothing to do with the book ('99?) and it was full of errors!

I prefer the Creepers' cover of "Baby's On Fire" to Brian Eno's original. Don't know if many people have heard either version though :D

Where was it spelt like that? Not on my copy anyway.

I've got that Duffo single too! I remember seeing a clip of him performing it on German TV :D

Oh yes it did! Three times in fact: 1967, 1970 and 1974. Amazed it never charted! It must be the most famous non-hit ever!!

I like "Along Comes Mary" the best. They used to play that in a club I used to go to a lot in the early '90s.

That was Jukebox Jury though wasn't it? :huh:

I've sent him an email so I'll let you know when I have more details :)

From the Big L website : "Big L's Mike Read is starting a brand new series of his famous Pop Quiz on Sky TV channel Red (Channel 186). The award winning TV show has made a come back after 14 years, which was famous for celebs testing their musical knowledge against each other. For the first time in Pop Quiz history, Mike will be throwing the doors open to members of the public to take part. If you think you've got what it takes then drop an e-mail to Mike.Read@Red-TV.co.uk" Sounds interesting :)

"Sebastian" was actually their first single, but failed to chart of course.

"Black or white...step on it" (or something like that). Yeah, good song. Probably too slow to be a hit though. My parents had it on a best of.

OK, here's mine (1972) : New Seekers - "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" : 5 T.Rex - "Telegram Sam" : 8 Chicory Tip - "Son Of My Father" : 7 Nilsson - "Without You" : 6 Pipes & Drums & Military Band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards - "Amazing Grace" : 1 T.Rex - "Metal Guru" : 9 Don McLean - "Vincent" : 5 Slade - "Take Me Bak 'Ome" : 8 Donny Osmond - "Puppy Love" : 2 Alice Cooper - "School's Out" : 8 Rod Stewart - "You Wear It Well" : 8 Slade - "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" : 9 David Cassidy - "How Can I Be Sure" : 5 Lieutenant Pigeon - "Mouldy Old Dough" : 5 Gilbert O'Sullivan - "Clair" : 5 Chuck Berry - "My Ding-A-Ling" : 2 Little Jimmy Osmond - "Long Haired Lover From Liverpool" : 0

No, I've never liked them either. Load of overrated tosh! The early singles were OK though.

I like a few of his songs : Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) My Life All For Leyna It's Still Rock 'N' Roll To Me er, that's about it...

Ain't That) Just Like Me - can't remember how it goes but I know it's not very good Searchin' - 5 Stay - 6 Just One Look - 6 Here I Go Again - 6 We're Through - 7 Yes I Will - 8 I'm Alive - 9 Look Through Any Window - 9 If I Needed Someone - 6 I Can't Let Go - 10 Bus Stop - 9 Stop Stop Stop - 9 On a Carousel - 10 Carrie Anne - 9 King Midas In Reverse - 10 Jennifer Eccles - 2 Listen To Me - 6 Sorry Suzanne - 7 He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother - 5 I Can't Tell the Bottom from the Top - 5 Gasoline Alley Bred - 5 Hey Willy - 6 The Baby - 4 Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress - 7 The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee - 7 The Air That I Breathe - 7 Soldier's Song - can't remember how it goes The Woman I Love - can't remember how this one goes either

It's a tough call, but I'll go for the Bunnymen. I don't have that petty hatred of Scousers that many other Mancunians have!

Which chart do you use, Rob? "Eton Rifles" only got to No.3 in the official chart.

Yeah, "Nobody's Fool" is my favourite too. Sadly not many people seem to remember it now though. "Prime Time" was their first single after Nick Heyward left, with Mark Fox on vocals. No, it's not the Tubes song.

What do you think was Abba's best single then?
