Okies 🙂
Many thanks, will add it in tomorrow 🙂
Don’t Fear the Reaper..my fav!! And 1976 don’t forget https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVGEfuhUgo0
Yes l was aware of BCR, they weren’t my favourite admittedly as a band, but l was aware of them 🙂
They are only a “favourite” as a leftover from my Grade 6 brain, and really all I remember from back then…
I couldn’t get into them, but l think that was because l literally had just got back to the UK from 12 years abroad and my musical tastes weren’t that developed, and l just was lost as far as British TOTP was going, ha ha.
I was 21 before l truly appreciated modern music, my Sister introduced me to the Top 40 when she was13, she is 5 years my juinor … l had a lot of catching up to do in her eyes.
Watch out for the Bony M song, I’ve gotten it stuck as an earworm before. This year was a little weak couldn’t find a lot of good songs for it. I had forgotten that Queen song though it’s a good one.
I agree, 76 was a mid stream in so far as tracks, but that usually happens in the years and with eras l have noticed, lots of good years in ten, but a bum ome. However from 77 it got a whole lot better 🙂
ah i see.
