I Love #1s - 1956

Aeons ago, the 1998 poll saw a suprise victory for Cornershop's 'Brimful Of Asha' with 39 ticks under its belt, whilst Boyzone were down in the dumps with just one measly tick. This week we trundle back to gentler times... Or are they?

[Poll #1030879]

i remember reading something from ford, about how much he loathed 16 tons becoming an anthem, because he didnt think it respected the sheer deathly effort that coal mining was--that said, it does seem to be the most entertaining song in that genre (and i find the rollicking of the music and the opression of the lyrics really telling, it kind of reminds me of brecht/weil)
