I ticked a handful, including two that I'd barely heard before yesterday!

I've been mulling over the canons recently - the mere fact that Rod has had nearly 50 UK hit singles makes him canon-worthy, even though lots of those 50 were probably bobbins. I feel I have a duty to spotlight pop stars who keep plugging away regardless, as well as the ones that are brilliant but less prolific.

Quite right.

Even if it'll nearly always be the "older, funny" songs that get the ticks.
