February 3rd, 1984

So we’ve jumped ahead a couple of years, thanks to the water damage mentioned in the notes about the charts.

This would’ve been a real meh! chart for me back then. About the only two songs I would’ve liked were In A Big Country by Big Country—still one of my all time favourite bands, who’s albums I still play regularly—and This is Not a Love Song by P.I.L. (I still like this and a lot of their music, even though I stopped liking Lydon way back in the late 80s. Back then it was because he told Richard Wilkins that Nelson Mandela was “nothing but a terrorist” when asked about the Free Nelson Mandela movement but nowadays it’s because he’s nothing but a fat, whiny, right-wing cunt). Even the Siouxsie & the Banshees cover of a Beatles song leaves me a bit cold because back then it felt like a total sell-out by the band.

However, even today the rose-coloured glasses of nostalgia aren’t working their magic, and there’s not a lot on this chart that catches my interest. The “Hit Bound” section has two classics, though; Waterfront, and Love Cats.:)
