Everybody's on Top Of The Pops

And now, for your delectation and amusement, here is a music poll.

I shall be doing four of these (yes, count them, four, for I am indeed that old) and later ones may be more suitable for, for instance, [livejournal.com profile] duranorak, although I can assure you that I will not, under any circumstances, be playing Kajagoogoo at my party.

However let us start in the sixties and seventies, when I was little and didn't know shit. Tell me good songs, preferably songs people will have heard of, but stuff that's a bit edgy amd ahead of its time is good.

Help me write the soundtrack of my life. And at the end of the week we may have a vote-off of the whole lot, or at least of those that I can actually stand, if I can be bothered.

[Poll #823888]

If you need any help there are some year end charts here - http://www.radio1.gr/archive/kentriki.htm

Ha. Love you. Don't worry, I wouldn't dream of suggesting they wrote the best song in any given year. :)

Will have to think about this, it's a bit far back for me. I'll use the year end charts and hope I'm not missing any true gems, I think. I'll be more use later. xx

:-) Well I'm sure that Bowie did some stuff in that era you like...

Here (http://pages.map.com/~freek/look.html) is even more useful. Um. I'll stop now.

Can I just say, right, that I'm dead pleased with that? I didn't look at your answers before filling in & posting mine. With the odd obvious slip I am clearly good EVEN AT THE 60s, a musical time that gives me the absolute fear. Hah.

Or something.

I am impressed. And yes, you are correct about Sebastian...

*nerd, nerd* Everyhit.com might be an even more useful place to look, but possibly only if you're me, and a geek. xx
