My favourite Queen track is Don't Stop Me Now. Bowie track is probably Life on Mars Neither act will have another Seventies No.1 after these tracks and will not top the charts until Under Pressure in 1980. -

If Bohemian Rhapsody and Space Oddity have been overplayed it is because they stand out from a lot of mediocre seventies music. Not only were they technically brilliant and original but they were both presented by extremely charismatic but challenging performers. -

I think Devilgate Drive is a much stronger song than Can the Can but here it is amongst stiffer competition -

I am confused whether this is a competition or just a compilation of a huge list of names I might be tempted to play if I could understand the structure of the 'game'

Football World Cup 2022. Predict the score.
Bibliogryphon replied to Paul Bearer's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
I think in future matches I might predict a few shocks. Everyone seems to be pretty much with the consensus on the early games. Probably because the home nations are invloved. -

This is pure nostalgia When I was about 5 I was obsessed with this song and it is one of the few singles we had in the house. The same with Carl Douglas I had a pair of pyjamas with Chinese characters on (previously mentioned) which I got because of Kung Fu Fighting. I sulked when they were in the wash. I am indulging myself in the early rounds. This selection will get brutal later on -
