Which of these songs in the year 1972 in your view should not have been #1, I am doing polls for the whole Seventies this time, once we have 10 winners (we have to split up some years there is not enough options on a poll to match the #1's in a year plus joint winners) we will have a last poll to decide which song out of the years 1970-1979 should not have been #1.
These are 3 day polls this time.
Happy Voting

11 of the first 12 are great singles, and then the year went completely off the rails.

Three abysmal tracks, but did not vote for either of that Morman family, as their royalties were embezzled away from them; so I voted for that pervert who's records still get played (probably because his late 1950s/early 1960s efforts for Chess Records are some of the greatest rock'n'roll records ever made) despite carrying out activities (carrying a 14 year old alleged prostitute whom he'd had sex with over state lines; installing camera's in a ladies bathroom of a restaurant he owned and being caught with hundreds of hours worth of videotape from those cameras in his own home) almost as bad as another early-mid 1970s chart topper.

Could have voted for a few, but went for the one that used one of our great cities in the title, and it took me years to hear that city mentioned without my mind drifting back to this piece of .... .

Has to be the one that was number one until 2 days before I was born. Phew, lucky escape.
Some of the greatest number one hits in history there.

I don't really know many of the songs on there but Claire by Gilbert O'Sullivan is one of the best pop songs i know from the 70s, still sounds great in 2011!

Like Paul Anka's "Diana", it was about a babysitter...

Quite surprised at that result.
Votes more spread out than usual.

voted - Mariah Carey was better! I don't agree with you, nor was it the worst #1 in 1972. Nilsson's version wasn't the original however, that was Badfinger. Nilsson did however write and record the original of "Everybody's Talkin'". |

So Chuck Berry "My Ding-a-Ling" goes through to the decade final.
