Pilot - January


[1975]
The first song I recall liking. I was just over 3 years old but fuck me it was number one here for eight weeks. So I guess I heard it a gazillion times and maybe it was an involuntary decision in music taste at the time but I gotta say as a cranky old fucker this is a top tune, a pop-rock banger baby! Not a bad choice for your first favourite song.

Also gotta love a jumper with your band name on it... just not enough jumpers in pop music anymore. The day jumpers stopped being worn in rock might be the day it all turned to shit.


[1974]
Possibly even better though was their number 12 hit from the previous year, It's Magic. State of the art pop-rock finery. 

The sound of the 70s.

All the melody, rockin' 70s gee-tars man, strings, funky wah wahs and hand claps galore: All luscious!

Perfection.
