Great Uncle Bulgaria added 1 to Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again (Naturally), but didn't add 1 to the total score. Since wannamaker has also added a further 2 points we now have

 

23 - Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again (Naturally)

 

Please would the next person to post use this score.

 

Also David Essex - Rock On has 12 points but is sitting in-between the 2 songs on 14 points, please move it into the correct position. Thanks.

I love so many of these (have voted for 9 or 10 of them so far) that I change my mind on which 5 should progress every day.

Bought Silver Machine at the time which, given I was buying chirpy chirpy cheep cheep less than two years previously, shows a rapid maturing of taste (and/or the onset of puberty).

I realise its not going to happen (I'm probably a minority of 1), but I genuinely would prefer to see Perry Como survive longer than Gilbert O'Sullivan. Of the remaining tunes here, there are few I really dislike, a handful I really like, and a load of "not bothered one way or the other".

No, you're not.  I hate that Gilbert O'Sullivan song with a rare venom.

It's the whiniest, most depressing self-pitying snivelling fucking dirge that was ever recorded.  Wish the miserable cunt would just hurry up and top himself. 

There is no song ever written that I loathe more than this one.

 

There, I've said it.  I expect everyone will pile in and vote it up now. Diego already has.
