As several of these tracks are on the early Now compilations, it will be interesting to see how our scores line-up against those in the Now threads.

No question about the top 3 and in the right order too. Thought Status Quo would have done better though.
Fantastic average for Giorgio Moroder.

This was a really strong list. Shame something had to come last. For me, Break Dance was worth more than 3.8. But I'm glad it wasn't Frog Chorus that finished bottom of the pile. At the top, a collection of great tracks. Strangely enough, Together In Electric Dreams doesn't seem to age, despite it being very much of its time. Thanks for this Smurfie.
