I Love #1's - 1973

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

The clear favourite at the start, Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' topped the pops in 1989 with 39 ticks. Cor! 'Ferry Cross The Mersey' on the other hand, got fewer ticks than either of the Jive Bunny megamixes, oh dear. Today's year was so good, er... James Blunt wrote a song about it? Perhaps he was a big fan of G4ry Gl1tt3r? Behold! It's 1973.

I only know the two songs here and the Xmas hit, but every time I hear them I am struck by the whole retro aspect to glam -- I usually think of the glittery costumes that everyone wore but sonically only think of Bowie and Roxy, but a lot of it actually sounds like it comes from some alternate world where a lot of late 60s and early 70s stuff just never happened.

Can't say I hate it, but can't say I love it either. Gilbert O'Sullivan ain't so bad, though!

The woeful no. of ticks for "SMBJ" is an outrage.

But yes "Get Down" should have more too. (Ditto "Rubber Bullets" and "Daydreamer"). Young people, eh? What can you do with them?
