[Poll #1432757]

*Bob's 'Can We Fix It' was nominated, but technically only number one for a few days in 2001 so I've slotted in firm 2001 chart-topper Mambo No.5 in its place as requested. The fact that this is out of alphabetical order is symptomatic of my spreadsheet-organisation skills rather than any deep conspiracy.

"but of course Buggles, Supertramp and ELO (the blueprints for DL) also sound best on radio"

hmmm, why would that be? not sure i go along with it. they're good songs on their own terms after all.

Nothing to do w/ the songcraft really. Like I said, it's the sound, the production. Designed for blaring out of a mono transistor speaker. It just sounds more sparse and awkward when exposed to the full rigours of hi fi.
