Surprised at the low average. There's no way on God's green and blue earth that "Chequered Love" is inferior to "Break My Stride" for starters.

Going back to my roots is surely worth a better average than 6!

You're right some of these are not adding up - let me check my formulas!

You were quite right Whitneyfan - Going Back To My Roots seemed too low. I double checked my spreadsheet and it zeroed some tens (not sure why) - but thank you for being eagle eyed. I have rechecked and Odyssey is now up to 6, but Squeeze is now number 1!

Love the squeee song but surprised it beat Kim. Even Haveners liked some of Cliff's 80's songs Thans to Smurfie for organising
