I Love #1's - 1969

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Eurovision winners ABBA claimed a deserved victory in last week's battle of 1974, with Waterloo gaining 30 ticks. In news that will shock no-one, G4ry Gl1tter only got one brave tick to come in last. Now rewind five years - this is not just a number ones poll. This is a hand-typed, decade-closing poll, sourced from organic ingredients with sprinklings of pop perfection and sensuous if mucky whispering. It's 1969!

[Poll #872461]

Weirdly this looks a lot better as a ticky poll than it did when I was slogging through it for Popular a month or two ago.

Is 'Dizzy' the song that Vic Reeves (yes, yes, I know with the Wonder Stuff, but I have no clue who they are) did a few years ago?
