#1C000LEST No. 17 Ike & Tina Turner - River Deep, Mountain High (1966) I remember discourse over on the other place a while back about whether this song is overrated or not and… No. Sorry but no. If this isn’t a complete MASTERPIECE, I don’t know what is. youtu.be/pWK7v0gIHLo?...

if u see this post your getaway vehicle

#1C000LEST No. 18 Diana Ross - Love Hangover (1976) The tightest yet most open-ended and free-flowing groove ever captured on vinyl. A dizzying rush of a song. Sheer disco bliss at its absolute finest. Maybe the dancefloor really is where all our problems are solved. youtu.be/yOzO_4NS8NI?...

Never forget that this astonishingly good series was made possible by Harry Secombe's Highway filming an episode at a school where Steven Moffat's dad was the headmaster.

"Surely, the same Micheál Martin who was just a few weeks ago japing about Ireland’s housing crisis in the Oval Office with a bona fide fascist should have some empathy for statements made during a performance." This week's Surrealing in the Years.

My post-TOTP earworm for this week: Party People (Friday Night) by 911.

PLAY THE PAT AND MICK VERSION #TOTP

Whenever I imagine 1978 in my head, I don’t think disco, I don’t think punk, I don’t even think Grease. I think of Darts. #TOTP

By Christ, Automatic Lover is some song #TOTP

I love Line Up by Elastica-oh wait #TOTP

You hear this live performance from Whitney and you almost understand why #TOTP thought it was a good idea to bring in the mining ban a few years later. Only problem was not everyone was Whitney Houston…

♬ "A-comin' on like a Seventh Seal!" ♪

Lads I think britpop’s over #TOTP

The chorus of this Michael Bolton song is a complete steal of Can’t Let Go by Mariah Carey, I’m sure of it #TOTP

Fun fact: Nobody on planet Earth has heard this Peter Andre song since November 1997. Nobody. #TOTP

Danny McNamara’s voice puts me on edge tbh #TOTP

Torn is one of *the* great pop songs of the 90s #TOTP

Not a fan of these specially-recorded performances in the background with them singing straight down the camera. It’s a bit too 1984 Big Brother #TOTP

Phenomenon by LL Cool J is a tune #TOTP

When your friend hates puns so you do your eleventh pun of the evening #totp

Every time I hear Spice Up Your Life, it gets a little bit worse #TOTP

Just… HOW is this the same bunch that made Set You Free? HOW???! #TOTP

“In America it’s an emergency service” #TOTP

#1C000LEST No. 19 Dave and Ansel Collins - Double Barrel (1971) Unsure whether this is the best UK number one of all time or not, but it’s definitely Top 5. So effortlessly great and transcendent it almost boggles the mind. HOW did they make a record this perfect?? youtu.be/UQNPiUuU58Y?...

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

#1C000LEST No. 20 Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970) Impossible (for me at least) to say anything new or interesting about this song/album. All I can say is it’s a dear friend in times of need and my life would be infinitely more difficult without it. youtu.be/4G-YQA_bsOU?...

#1C000LEST No. 21 My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise (1988) Shame To Here Knows When didn’t make the cut, but will happily choose this in its absence. An extraordinary “debut” single and a real Year Zero moment. Never has brutal noise sounded more thrilling. youtu.be/L3hYEwCmMhY?...

#1C000LEST No. 22 Manic Street Preachers - Faster (1994) 10 years ago, I’d have been giving this a bonus. Completely burnt out on it now, but no amount of overplay could ever diminish the impact this had on teenage me. A visceral, gutting and extraordinary piece of work. youtu.be/y0f9qUheits?...

60 YEARS AGO TODAY: Ready Steady Go! is turned over, at the behest of the week's host Dusty Springfield, to The Sound Of Motown - the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles and Martha Reeves & the Vandellas.

Dare I say that having an echo chamber that makes people more progressive is actually a good thing. Dare I say it

#1C000LEST No. 23 10cc - I’m Not in Love (1975) Cut through the moribund summer ‘75 hit parade like a knife. Sounded like absolutely nothing else around at the time. 50 years later, it’s still one of a kind. youtu.be/cgJckGsR-T0?...

One of the front runners for the papacy is Cardinal Zuppi

#1C000LEST No. 24 En Vogue - My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It) [1992] We’re starting to get into the realm of songs which I have, at some point in my life, described earnestly as ‘the greatest song ever made’. This absolutely fits the bill. youtu.be/JIuYQ_4TcXg?...

I’d love to get taken care of by the Mafia. To be nurtured and find the comfort and security that comes from being part of a close-knit family
