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!

What a dreadful year! Those are all HORRID.

I mean the closest I got to a tick was 'Without You' but Mariah did it so much better.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Aha! I was wondering if you knew that one!

Not even a soft spot for Alice Cooper? No, I guess not...

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

No! I hate metal.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

How many have you actually heard?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Alice Cooper = about as metal as Busted.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure! I have heard various bits and bobs from horrid shite-peddlers like Alice Cooper, Slade, Osmond et al, but don't know which ones, and they're all abysmal.

Surely you know the Lieutenant Pigeon?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Nope! Can't imagine it's any good with a title like that though, it sounds novelty.

ALL GOOD!

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

Every last one of them. Almost.

[infov0re.livejournal.com]

It is novelty beyond your wildest dreams.

(It's fucking terrible).

Best year ev- ....oh wait, I already said that about 1979. And 1981. But still.

As I was but a glint in my parents' eye at this stage, I must ask for clarification: how did everyone in the playground not go "hur hur hur" at My Ding A Ling for YEARS afterwards? How did it ever even get released? HOW?

The main torture was school assembly where everyone would stare while they sang. I used to hate my name.

But you do love Alice Cooper!
