Away for a week now with no access to wifi so someone else will have to look after the Kinks for me (in a nice way).

Apart from the bottom 2 everything left is pretty good though so not too bothered who makes the cut.

There are probably half a dozen I want to see the back of. It does seem No.2 does not suffer from the horrendous novelty tracks we had in No.1s

Deep Purple was great.  Made probably a dozen wonderful songs.

This ain’t one of them.  Egad.  I thought it would rot on its own but it’s being SUPPORTED.  Time for a reality check. (Ditto the Sweet track - one of my favourite bands, Co-Co sucks).

 

On this day we Yanks told King George to pound sand up his arse, ‘I Want You Back’ gets my points.

[justonecornetto 914]

Funny how Peter, Paul & Mary initially led the field but now in the bottom two. It's a song I don't mind and quite like but feel it should have belonged in the 60s
