But when it was first introduced, it had three things going for it (in order of real value and reverse order of market power): 1) It had probably the best available internal antena of its day. 2) The full-color external screen was a novelty and the styling was somewhat unique for clamshells (including the thickness) of the day. 3) Motorola priced them very high on introduction and sent free ones to tastemakers and common paparazzi victims -- Paris, George Clooney, and others all got free phones and were seen holding them at "hot LA clubs".

And the early 70s song ?Is this the way to Amarillo?? by Tony Christie only figures in the remade version with additions by Peter Kay almost 40 years later. Not to mention Kylie Minogue, who after decades of hits finally broke into the very big time with ?Can?t get you out of my head? in the 2000s. 4 records by the Beatles, all in the 60s; 3 by Elvis Presley (2 in the 50s, one in the 60s), 2 by Boney M in the 70s; 2 by Frankie Goes To Hollywood, both in the 80s; and also 2 in the 80s by George Michael, if you count ?Last Christmas? as a George Michael record; and the Band Aid Christmas record also features twice, as noted above. As far as I can make out, no other act has more than one entry, though I suppose that if you count ?Last Christmas? as a George Michael record, you ought to count ?Mull of Kintyre? as a Beatles record, which sounds wrong to me. So the acts with one entry each are (50s) Bill Haley and his Comets; Paul Anka; Harry Belafonte; Emile Ford and the Checkmates; Adam Faith; Cliff Richard and the Drifters (sic, before the Shadows changed their name); Pat Boone; Buddy Holly; (60s) The Seekers; Englebert Humperdinck; Tom Jones; (70s) Wings; John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John; the Village People; Queen; Blondie; Art Garfunkel; David Soul; (80s) Stevie Wonder; the Human League; Culture Club; Jennifer Rush; Dexy?s Midnight Runners; (90s) Elton John; Robson and Jerome; Wet Wet Wet; Aqua; Cher; Bryan Adams; Britney Spears; Puff Daddy and Faith Evans; Whitney Houston. Then in the yet to be completed 2000s one each by Will Young; Gareth Gates; Shaggy featuring RikRok, Tony Christie featuring Peter Kay; Hear?Say, Shayne Ward, Kylie Minogue, Bob the Builder, and Atomic Kitten. No sign of any of my favourite pop bands, however: no Rolling Stones or Animals or Kinks or Move or Jimi Hendrix Experience or T Rex or (weirdly) Slade, or any of the big album bands like the Pink Floyd, REM, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Cream or even Simon and Garfunkel (the one Garfunkel hit is the Mike Batt-penned ?Bright Eyes?). - - Mike Godwin PS Just found from usually-reliable Wikipedia out that 'Amarillo' was written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield - who'd've thought it? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 12:31:51 +0000 From: craigie* Subject: Re: Top 10s by decade from 'The Times' On 15/01/2008, hssmrg@bath.ac.uk wrote: > > PS Just found from usually-reliable Wikipedia out that 'Amarillo' was > written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield - who'd've thought it? > Actually, now you mention it...

(And in Central America, who knew they had all those different countries down there?) Several of these songs I haven't heard of, and while in the last decade or two I've paid no attention to US chart pop, I've still heard of most of the artists. I did not know that Lou Reed somehow had a hit with "Perfect Day" in the '90s! The problem I have with most current chart pop that I've heard is that it's kind of like glitter poured on a Twinkie: impressive in its own way at first, but no long-lasting nutritional value and ultimately it's not entirely clear why its various components should go together. Every record seems to have some sort of production gimmick (which are often, admittedly, interesting and creative) - but it's introduced in the first few bars, and then repeated, nearly w/o variation, for another three minutes. There's rarely a sense of songcraft, and melody is pretty much forgotten - and I don't mean because of rapping, I mean what's *sung* is usually just random explorations of a vaguely blues-like scale. And of course, whatever melody there might have been is grossly overelaborated by singers who never met a melisma they didn't love so much they'd do it three times in a few seconds. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 13:30:08 EST From: HwyCDRrev@aol.com Subject: paul weller ltd. ed. book (genesis publications) A SIGNED AND NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION BOOK AND VINYL BOXED SET An Exclusive Vinyl Release This astounding limited edition boxed set includes Paul Wellerbs personal recollections of a lifetimebs work illustrated by the greatest and rarest images of his career.
