I Love #1's - 1972

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

A surprise victory for White Town saw Your Woman achieve 37 ticks last week, making it your favourite No.1 of 1997, whilst Tori, Hanson and the Spice Lasses could only muster 32 each. Elton and his windy candle brought up the rear with a solitary tick. This week we have Dutch painters, Mary Whitehouse-offending metaphors and glam-rock in full swing - it's 1972!

It doesn't look like there's any great amount of quality there, tbh. I bet freaktigger isn't looking forward to reviewing the early-70s #1s... Or is suddenly looking forward to fatherhood a lot more. See how the 70s are good for something, at least.

I suppose I am at an advantage in that I like about half of T-Rex and Slade's singles. Just wait till every other tick is Westloife!

I'll take that bet.

OK, fair enough, I was just generalising based on my own assumptions rather than any real knowledge of the quantity of his love for the early-70s...

I have been looking forward to the early 70s for ages! The first half of 1970 is going to be a bit of a slog but then its YEARS OF PLENTY.

There's seven songs in this year alone that are good/excellent shouts for 8+ scores.

Same count for me, though I imagine it won't be exactly the same seven. This was when I first got into music in a big way, and I absolutely loved Slade and T. Rex - and still do.

Thank you for ticking David Cassidy. I was getting worried that no one else was going to. Such a great song, matched here by a wonderful vocal performance and arrangement. And what a dreamboat!

I don't suppose anyone has a good quality MP3 of this - the one I have for Popular is absolutely rotten and it's quite hard to find Cassidy songs on the usual sources.

If no one comes forward I'll put it on a CD for you.

This could just be an age issue, since I am utterly unfamiliar with the era (it being before I was born), and I have not heard any of these. However, if these can be recommended, then I should seek them out.
