Are we allowed to predict your top 5? Yes, everybody can try to predict my top 10, before I will reach top 50. ok, top 5 prediction 1. Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over troubled water 2. Christie - Yellow river 3. Nilsson - Without You 4. 10CC - I'm not in love 5. Real Thing - You to me are everything

I think Last Dreamer would like Elvis Presley - The Wonder Of You. May well be in his top 5. Possibly even his #1 knowing his taste and very likely his top song from 1970.
I'll try to think of some others.

If I'd ranked the number ones on what I thought of them at the time, Tears Of A Clown would probably finish quite low in my list. Now, I would rank it a lot higher. Float On, Tragedy and You To Me Are Everything would still be well down my list.

Given that you like love songs, I will predict Commodores - Three Times A Lady to be in your top 5 as well.

Tears On My Pillow came up on "random oldies" this morning. Definitely a case of "Troggs Syndrome".

In terms of having these songs a fair way down the list, these are quite a good shout, although The Quo would be in my top 50 if I were purely picking from the 70s.

'Hot love' by T.Rex is probably my favourite glam rock song of all-time.
