    Hi - I was 8 and just getting into the charts on a regular basis - it was a great time to get into music!! :)

    The 4 year period at the end of the 60s and the three years starting in 1978 were, IMO, the best periods for pop and rock music in this country.

    Loads of variety and interesting stuff.

    The cut price "Yes Sir, I can Boogie"

    Easy on the eye though, so no complaints.

    "Sorry I'm a lady". Something you'll never hear a woman on Jeremy Kyle say...

    Are they singing "Have you got a light?" in the chorus?

    Anyone else think that Tonight's lead singer looks just like Peter Powell!

    I always think Peter Powell is going to say the word "sensational" whenever he intros acts. The grin never changes.

    Sorry. But I was heavily influenced by my dad's record collection growing up, so I feel pop culturally older.

    I'll let you off then:)

    Don't recall this (thankfully).

    And your sleepy head is into make up":(

    And then the lyric gets worse:eek:

    He looks like the actor Kevin Eldon in a wig.

    Makes me think of him doing the Virginia Plain cover on Big Train.
