poptimistsA thrilling conclusion to last week's number ones poll saw Ace Of Base pip 2 Unlimited to the 1993 crown by two votes. Unsurprisingly the large pink blob suffered badly. This week's poll is dominated by dodgy male singers but sprinkled with pop gems nonetheless. Don your sparkly blue caps kids, it's 1974!
[Poll #867293]
*For some reason I left BOTH of these off the 1975 poll! Shocking, isn't it.

ii. Sheffield United fans' adaptation of it is a masterwork of vernacular poetry innit. (Not that I give two bits about Sheff U in the ordinary run of things)
iii. It was the only 'pop' record I was ever taught to play on the acoustic guitar!
iv. The melody is quite pretty.
