Saint Etienne - Teenage Winter #8

One of the saddest song they recorded, dripping with melancholy and regret. Love it, obviously.

Teenage winter's coming down
Teenage winter throws a gown
Over every place I've been
And every little dream
Forever

10 - ABBA - Dancing Queen

ABBA are the Marmite of pop music: some people really, really dislike them and I get it, they have made some really naff records, but how do you not like Dancing Queen? It’s like not liking children’s laughter or puppies. 🇸🇪

11 - Blondie - Heart of Glass

Look. At. Her. Blondie were almost too good to be true, Debbie was a dream front-woman, the boys were impossibly cool and the music is some of the best pop ever recorded.
There never was or will be something quite like them.

Saint Etienne - Side Streets

An odd choice for a lead single, but a lovely song nonetheless

12 - Talking Heads - I Zimbra

My favourite band from the late ‘70s New York scene, Talking Heads (especially when Eno was helping out) were just brilliant -- I Zimbra has so much going on that I feel like I notice something new every time I listen to it.

13 - Michael Jackson - Rock with You

Hard to believe Michael’s been gone for more than 15 years. This is from a more innocent era, before the scandals and the meltdown, written by Cleethorpes’ very own Rod Temperton who deserves every penny he ever got.

14 - Yvonne Elliman - If I Can’t Have You

My second and last Bee Gees tribute and another slow disco (the best kind) gem. Reminds me of sitting on the back seat of my dad’s car, being dragged to see my grandma when I was a little kid. Ah, youth...

16 - Chic - Le Freak

Virtually impossible to choose a Rodgers/Edwards song from the 70s, so I’ll go for this as we had the 7” when I was a kid and playing it feels like having an old friend that you don’t remember meeting because you’ve always known them.

17 - The Cure - Boys Don’t Cry

Full disclosure: I thought this was an 80’s song until yesterday so had to bump out an Odyssey gem to make room for it.
I have to thank my other brother for the Cure, one day he came home with Standing on a Beach & instant ♥️

I think everything that had to be said about the influence of Kraftwerk on everything that came after it has been said many times over, so I’ll just leave you with the glorious 22:47 full version of Autobahn. Spoil yourselves!

19 - Candi Staton - Nights on Broadway

My first tribute to the genius of the Bee Gees, but not the last.
This version was a hit in the UK for the wonderful Candi, who isn't as celebrated as she should and sung that other 70s banger Young Hearts Run Free ♥️

20 - Sparks - This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both Of Us

As odd as the 70s were, Sparks still managed to look and sound like they had been beamed in from another dimension: 52 years later this still sounds like nothing else, before or since.

22 - The Flying Lizards - Money

Wildly original cover of early Motown standard, this has everything I like in a song: flat singing by a bored-sounding female singer, slightly manic and repetitive electronic track, done in two and a half minutes. Bingo!

24 - Vashti Bunyan - Diamond Day

This album, her first, was rescued from relative obscurity 30 years after release and since then, Vashti has released two other excellent LPs. An inspiring, true British original and an under-appreciated talent. 💎

25 - Amii Stewart - Knock on Wood

At the risk of annoying many music lovers, I’ll come out and say that this is by far my favourite version of this song, it just kicks ass. That chugging sound at the beginning is one of my favourite calls to the floor 🕺🏻

26 - Nicolette Larson - Lotta Love

A song that’s very much part of my formative years, I find out now that it didn’t chart at all in the UK and that she didn’t have a lot of chart success after this Neil Young cover (also a fact I just discovered).
