Re: Heston's Friday Top 5
Not a single vote for "Fame" or "Let's Dance" which were his only U.S. Number Ones. I'm not terribly fond of either.
"Young Americans" is another great one that gets a lot of rock station airplay

I don't mind either of those but I wouldn't choose them over other gems in such a magnificent back catalogue.tepista wrote:Not a single vote for "Fame" or "Let's Dance" which were his only U.S. Number Ones. I'm not terribly fond of either.

Fame would make the top 10, Let's Dance makes the top 30, Young Americans - much lower.

Re: Heston's Friday Top 5
Really? I LOVE Young A. I think the lyrics are fantastic. Of all the songs that get regular mainstream airplay I'd put Changes at 1 and YA at 2.

Station to Station
TVC15
Ashes to Ashes
Panic in Detroit

Re: Heston's Friday Top 5
A realisation and admission: I can't stand the song 'Panic In Detroit.' Must be the most irritating track on a classic album.
