1. Alone Again (Naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan 5, ace piece of songwriting from Gilb...sadly turned over big-time by the music-biz in general, which was a waste...one of his best...
2. My Ding-A-Ling - Chuck Berry 1, yeuch! The worst thing he ever released, and the worst thing off this list...
3. Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) - Looking Glass 4, catchy number...
4. Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - Temptations 5, dark, brooding piece of work...one of their best...
5. Back Stabbers - O'Jays 4, paranoid messages wrapped up in superb Philly soul...marvellous...
6. American Pie - Don McLean 5, superb song which is still important today...sadly, near-enough killed his career before it got a chance to take off...
7. I'd Love You To Want Me - Lobo 4, big rousing number, probably his best...we eventually charted it two years later...
8. Precious And Few - Climax 5, magnificent heartfelt song with the sort of 'big finish' that I love...
9. Saturday In The Park - Chicago 5, effortlessly commercial yet still retaining their unique sound...one of their best...
10. Use Me - Bill Withers 4, not his best, but a fine shuffling workout...
11. Hold Your Head Up - Argent 4, group that promised a lot, but ultimately got as far as this...fine strutter, a bit overlong if you've got the LP version...
12. Everything I Own - Bread 4, good song, if slightly lightweight...well remembered, though...
13. Summer Breeze - Seals & Crofts 3, also somewhat lightweight...The Isleys' cover suited the song better...
14. Never Been To Spain - Three Dog Night 4, sly, prowling start which finishes off big...clever arrangement...
15. Ben - Michael Jackson 3, the ode to a rat, which veers dangerously towards 'sickly'...bearable enough...
16. Hurting Each Other - Carpenters 5, another stormer...fantastic arrangement...one of my favourites of theirs...
17. Bang A Gong (Get It On) - T Rex 4, '50's guitar riffs dressed up in '70's glam...one of the group's best...
18. I Need You - America 5, simple and effective song treated to a great performance...
19. Anticipation - Carly Simon 4, yet another good song which she could throw out with alarming regularity...
20. Witchy Woman - Eagles 4, mysterious and atmospheric...great stuff...
Probably about the best yet...
