What an honour to be included in such a monumental list, Nick. I was going to say I’m not sure I deserve it, but I’m definitely a strange fruit so…

Oh, come, come, Jeff. What 10 year old boy worth his pre-punk salt could resist Kim Gordon’s mama?!

There was a moment there, Jeff, an awakening – through frosted glass – seeing SQ on TOTP, (alongside Alvin Stardust and Bay City Rollers and Slade – mostly all nonsense, of course) that encapsulates 1974 for me.
ps: Thinking about it now, Madame Cholet should’ve made my list, too. Her name works just as well for poetic licence and she was part of one of the greatest bands of that period, The Wombles. She was their Yoko! That band, to the 10 year old me (and, perhaps, the 56 year old, too), being just as important as The Beatles. More so.
Thanks, Jeff. Hope all is good over your side of the pond.

Absolutely! And The Wombles gave us one of the best lines from 1970s pop culture:
“He used to minuetto allegretto, now it’s andante cantabile.” Genius!

Good advice Nick! I’m prone to forgetting that I’m a Womble.

This ^ makes me smile and frown all at once, Michele. (is that a wince?) Check! I will, no doubt, hear this said at my funeral…”He loved a list and he excelled at making them!”
Thank you 🙂

I love reading that my comment made you smile, but a frown… yes, that was a wince. 😆 Without my lists, my life would be an empty page. 😉
Be sure to add that funeral comment to your last wish list. 😂
Happy day and happy list-making to you! 📝 😁

I realise it’s out of sync with the spirit of this post, but I can’t help singing these names to the melody & rhythm of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” by Billy Joel.
