Will rate for cash...but life's not that blissful...
Dream On - Aerosmith 4
Good early effort from the 'legends'...
Angie - Rolling Stones 3
Fair to a certain degree, but does get tiresome...
Go Where You Wanna Go - Mamas & Papas 3
Average number...rightly overshadowed by their later stuff...
Hot Blooded - Foreigner 4
Superb...also rated highly at the time (if these CD liner notes are correct) by a certain John Lydon, of all people...
Jammin' - Bob Marley 4
Effortless pop/reggae cross...still good...
Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac 5
Excellent stuff...easily their best from this period...
Road Runner - Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers 3
As 'basic' as you're ever likely to get...but strangely, doesn't really appeal to me...
Istanbul (Not Constantinople) - They Might Be Giants 4
Clever re-work of the old 'novelty'-ish number...
Funky Town - Lipps Inc 4
The disco equivalent of Jonathan Richman in 'basic' terms...literally written in fifteen minutes, and still holding up well...
Fashion - David Bowie 3
Very odd affair with backward drumbeats throughout...has done better...
Dedicated Follower Of Fashion - Kinks 4
Excellent three-minute slice of 'English culture' - the start of their peak period...
I Want To Take You Higher - Sly & The Family Stone 3
Noisy 'rock-funk' cross...sadly average, really...
Mockingbird - James Taylor & Carly Simon 3
I could appreciate what they were trying to do, but...
Mockingbird - Inez & Charlie Foxx 4
...sometimes it's better left to the experts!
Western Union - Five Americans 4
Attractive harmony-laden thing, covered here by The Searchers - both undeservedly stiffed...
Those Oldies But Goodies - Little Caesar & The Romans 3
Okay for what it is, but nothing special...
Remember (Walkin' In The Sand) - Shangri-La's 3
Ditto as above...
Don't Pull Your Love - Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds 5
Fantastic! Can't recommend this highly enough for those who haven't had the pleasure...
Valleri - Monkees 4
Excellent piece of pop-fluff which this lot were so good at...
Do Ya? - ELO 3
Uncharacteristically lame effort...the song was originally done by the group they used to be, The Move...but that version's not that much better...
Fingertips (Part 2) - Stevie Wonder 3
I'll forgive him, he was young! Noisy racket, but okay in small doses...
