antrin Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) I know my age group was supremely fortunate with the quality of music which surrounded us. At the age of 16, (The height of teenagery, I feel) this was the Top 30. https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/uk-top-40-singles-chart/19630613/750140/ Top three was as follows... 1 1 FROM ME TO YOU THE BEATLES PARLOPHONE 1 9 Buy Listen 2 7 I LIKE IT GERRY AND THE PACEMAKERS COLUMBIA 2 3 Buy Listen 3 2 DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET? BILLY J KRAMER AND THE DAKOTAS PARLOPHONE 2 6 Buy Listen You can link from there - amend the date - and see how your formative music world might have sounded.

antrin Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I KNOW, I KNEW.... But Top Thirty is dirty data - skewed to show singles that disproportionate impact upon the emotions of teenage people. They should be set to one side... I felt sure oxter would pop along to do 'a graph' on those platters entering between 30and 40... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonbuddie Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 My top 3 at the same age: 1. Lonely This Christmas - Mud2. Streets of London - Ralph McTell3. Down Down - Status Quo ETA - don't quote antrin's post, the result is fekkin horrendous - there's a good chance div will mistake your post for one of those spamming efforts we get now and then.

Bud the Baker Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Back then there was no need to feel down I got my feet off the ground, went to the deserts of Sudan, the gardens of Japan and finally from Milan to Yucatan with an older woman (17) (not just another teenage queen) who laid her love on me. https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/uk-top-40-singles-chart/19790107/750140/ Pos LW Title, Artist Peak Pos WoC Chart Facts 1 1 Y.M.C.A.
