  1. 0 points Rod Stewart - Tom Traubert's Blues (Waltzing Matilda) Chart peak: 6 Dandy score: 3/10 This was a cover of a Tom Waits song from 1976. Like the original, it incorporates the Australian folk song 'Waltzing Matilda' which goes back to the 19th Century. 2oSKWL7Ymbk
  2. 0 points Simple Minds - This Is Your Land Chart peak: 13 Dandy score: 5/10 Simple Minds' follow-up to their number 1 single 'Belfast Child' featured Lou Reed as a guest vocalist. GqpAY2OBJzc
  3. 0 points Seal - I'm Alive Chart peak: 4 Dandy score: 6/10 This was part of a double A side single with the re-issued Kiss From A Rose which I think got all the airplay so it's not really well known. b3_Qel-QCuE
  4. 5th - 11th November 1964 18. All Day And All Of The Night - The Kinks Most weeks, this would have won the award but it misses out. They're rocking out again with another great guitar riff. This one will go to number 2. 33. There's A Heartache Following Me - Jim Reeves His first posthumous release is a sad country ballad. 36. Black Girl - The Four Pennies Quite an intense song about a woman widowed after her husband is killed in a train crash. I like how it builds towards the end. The song goes back to the 1870s. Record of the week : 40. Dancing In The Street - Martha and the Vandellas This beats the Kinks as it's so joyous and infectious, a huge Motown dance anthem. The people in the crowd here are clapping far too quickly, I only spotted one woman who is pacing her clapping to the beat of the song. Incredibly, the single will only reach number 28, it will take a 1969 re-issue to put it in the top 5. 68Uv959QuCg

  8. The retro contest results have now been moved to Wednesday. I don't know what's happening with Nuggets.
  9. 0 points Rod Stewart - Shotgun Wedding Chart peak: 21 Dandy score: 4/10 Rod klaxon! Shotgun Wedding was originally a top 10 hit for Roy C in 1966. Rod Stewart's cover was taken from his compilation 'Lead Vocalist' which was a mixture of old songs and newly recorded cover versions. USECKzFPdf8
  10. 0 points Artists For Grenfell - Bridge Over Troubled Water Chart peak: 1 Dandy score: 1/10 A charity single to raise money for the families of the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017. 8O1CcwYf79I
  11. 0 points Tina Turner - Whatever You Want Chart peak: 23 Dandy score: 7/10 This song was written by Arthur Baker, Fred Zarr and Taylor Dayne who later recorded her own version. It was my own favourite out of the four songs she has here. o1vGqdINY_c
  12. 0 points Pato Banton with Sting - Spirits In The Material World Chart peak: 36 Dandy score: 2/10 Pato Banton's cover of the 1981 song by The Police was recorded for the soundtrack to 'Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls'. He later re-recorded the song without Sting for his greatest hits album in 2008 and that was the only version I could find on Spotify. btQTd6Sm8Dc
  13. 0 points Seal - The Beginning Chart peak: 24 Dandy score: 6/10 Seal is the only artist that Trevor Horn has stuck with so he has nine songs in this rate. The Beginning was the third single taken from his debut album. rEL0Wq9kX7c
  14. Results 63 of the 80 songs received votes. I will reveal the 17 nil pointers over the next three days. Dandy sent me a score for every song below his top 30 so I'll include the Dandy Score for each of these 0 point songs when I post them.
  15. The results for this will be posted on the other thread in the 20th Century Retro Forum.
  16. The Temptations - Papa Was A Rollin' Stone America - A Horse With No Name Nilsson - Without You Paul McCartney & Wings - My Love Isaac Hayes - Theme From Shaft Worst: Chuck Berry - My Ding-A-Ling Donny Osmond - Go Away Little Girl Michael Jackson - Ben
  17. Voting is now closed. Thanks to the 10 people who took part. The results will start on Monday.
  18. Doctor Blind, just letting you know that the 20th Century retro song contest results are due to start at 7pm on Tuesday so maybe you could reveal the Nuggets results later in the evening to avoid a clash or maybe delay them to Wednesday.
  19. Great to have a full house. I think the BJSC results are tomorrow anyway so a good idea to have these results on Tuesday.
  20. The Carpenters - We’ve Only Just Begun Marvin Gaye - What’s Going On Elton John - Daniel The Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin
  21. This is your last day to vote.
  22. Private Investigations (the best thing Dire Straits ever did) and All Of My Heart are two of the highlights of the year. Walking On Sunshine is also a great dance record.
  23. Voted. I did end up giving my 12 points to the song I said I had planned to enter to the next Unknown Pleasures contest.
  24. Newcastle 0-1 Arsenal Bournemouth 1-2 Manchester City Ipswich 2-2 Leicester Liverpool 2-0 Brighton Nottingham Forest 2-1 West Ham Southampton 1-1 Everton Wolves 1-1 Crystal Palace Tottenham 3-2 Aston Villa Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea Fulham 2-1 Brentford
  25. Save A Prayer is an outstanding tune, my favourite by Duran Duran, and Nobody's Fool is the best Haircut 100 single.
