I Love College making its way up :puke:

 

Agreed - it'll only be a success because of the pathetic references to getting drunk and getting a girl naked at a party - musically it's a complete no-brainer.

I don't know any of your all-time favourites :lol:

 

Well, I did just turn 2 at the end of 1974.

 

From the list you've included there, I like;

 

Queen - Killer Queen

Abba - Waterloo

Isley Brothers - Summer Breeze

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells Theme

Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

Mud - Tiger Feet

 

I can't believe you've included Sylvia's Y Viva Espana - loved it way back when on family holidays to Spain...but could I listen to it now? I don't think so!

 

Also, I couldn't stand Sparks, more of an assault on the ears than music.

I've heard this a couple of times on daytime Radio 1 and it really didn't catch my attention. If Radio 1 continue to back it, it may just scrape a top 75 placing, but I don't rate it at all :(

I bet a lot of Americans thought that at one time! :P

I don't think it should become a downloads-only chart, though as someone else mentioned, it's looking as though it will become something like 99% downloads. My major concern is that it could become an iTunes chart, as they seem to almost have a monopoly on downloads.

The thing that gets me about the Shontelle track isn't just the blandness of it, but the juvenile lyrics - don't people listen to the words of songs anymore? :(

What's with all the hate of new stuff? Surely it's better to have some freshness or is everyone quite happy with 'Up', 'Sex on Fire', 'Womanizer', 'Hot N Cold' and 'Human' in the charts for an eternity?

 

I'd rather have any of those tracks hang around for a year, if it meant Prom Queen not making it!

Olivers Army by Elvis Costello

 

One of my all-time favourites :D

 

My first was Fade To Grey by Visage

 

Edit: However, it wasn't the first single I owned, that was one purchased by my parents in the early 70's...a double A side of The Owl And The Pussycat and Run Rabbit Run by goodness knows who! :P
