Rubber Bullets is on my old ipod that only works in the docking station in the kitchen but it is where I listen to most of my music so that is a top contender Most of those left are at worst OK -

They included the news on the 10 Radio 4 news bulletin last night and the presenter spoke very slowly and played a clip of Party Girl. The underlying tone of the piece being. "This will mean very little to our discerning listeners but this is what passes for popular culture amongst the plebians, so you can pretend to be informed and with it"

I was not very old during these years and most of my memory of these come from the Local Radio soundtrack and the small number of vinyl singles that were in the house (My Mum had Twelfth of Never), my older sister was a huge David Cassidy fan but I could tell you what he looked like but not what he sounded like. However my abiding memory of I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing was when we had a Sunday School float for the village fete where we all adopted (what would now be considered to be pretty damned racist) national costumes and sang this song as we went round I had one of those triangular straw hats and a pair of pyjamas with Chinese characters on them. I was about 5 at the time so it was probably more 74/75. -

For 1978 it is going to be Kate Bush born 1958 - she was 19 at the time. Don't think there would be anyone younger? -

I was expecting to move on once we were down to four. If we go further we risk the final section were the winners all go up against each other being too predictable I am prepared for the 72/73 carnage -
I have sent my team but included a whopping five subs just in case there is carnage in December
