Alright. I am mainly a darkwave, witch house, trap and wave kinda guy these days.

but from the 70s, with an intro and an anthem, this is mint.

(My band did Doctor Doctor in our set when I was 16. Back in 1974. Oh my days)

One of my favourite tracks of all time. Is there a better song whilst driving? I sing along like an idiot

'Children Of The Revolution' is a pretty good intro.

However, 'Another Girl, Another Planet' is better.

I saw the Only Ones at the Nashville in the late 70s. The encore had Generation X with Peter, plus Johnny Thunders on stage. Together. All for £1.50 on the door.

Was this really 1976?



Here was a great gig

No finer intro to a 70s classic anthem than this.

FFS.

Probably the most stunning 70s intro ever.

Hang on. These opened their set with this and I swear dozens of teenage Bill Nelson fan girls in the audience wet their pants. It was epic.

Would have gone for Stay With Me but already nabbed and could easily have gone for his/their first no.1 which was on the other side of this classic!

Maybe not the best but a memorable anthem opening to Meatloaf’s 1977 Bat out of Hell single

Was that the price after or before the dynamic pricing adjustment applied?
