157 singles on the start sheet. Some of them are quite good. A few of them are very good indeed. Many of them, alas, are not.

Ready? Not 'alf. Let's rock.

Quite, Oscar. There are some crackers.

McDL - relax - CITW appears 'only' three times, God and Mary be praised.

I'd quite like GYBR to win, as it goes, but I'm not too fussed as long as it isn't one of the maudlin ones like CITW or SSTBTHW.

You will not be alone, that's for damn sure, as Jack Reacher would say. He's quite tall, you know.

CITW is a well constructed song that got murdered.

Pinball Wizard on the other hand is just as fresh (and bonkers) today as when it was first made.

DGBMH (with Kiki Dee) is on my list of 'perfect pop songs'. Admittedly that list also includes Mmm Bop by Hanson, but a perfect pop song is a thing of joy, no matter how naff.
