G Some good stuff though - Chic, Funkadelic, Ian Dury, Earth Wind and Fire. Might need to dig these out of the collection and give them a spin. |

2 Billy Joel songs at consecutive positions in the chart, quality songwriter! For those who don't know the Barry White song is a cover of Billy's earlier hit.

Add number 07 to that list - horrendous song. (And possibly 09).
