I've no idea what half of these sound like - there may be some lost gems....

So much shite. But Substitute by Clout is awesome, as is Sylvester, Blondie and The Rezillos. I've a soft stop for Oh, What A Circus which is probably down to David Essex's Che impersonation.
So Long Kid, Take A Bow.

Can't believe I was the only one to vote for 'British Hustle' and 'Supernature'.
Man, music was good back then..so many good records.

Kiss you All Over was a great record, the lead singer had the most awful haircut.

The best - Supernature, Siouxsie, Blondie, Clout, Exile, Northern Lights, Grease.
The worst - The Rezillos.

Re: UK top 30 40 years ago
I've always loved "Grease" enormously as a record (I swear I had a dream last night in which I was defending it to someone or other who was well beyond skeptical).
The rest I couldn't really muster any enthusiasm for.

Naturally, out of sheer morbid curiosity, I had a look.

It's all but identical. That I personally like something like, say, "Magnet and Steel" hardly qualifies it as a stone cold classic.
