1. That'll Be The Day - Buddy Holly. I like his Rock & Roll attitude.

2. Cool Jerk - The Capitols

3. Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult

4. You Were On My Mind - We Five

5. Half A Boy And Half A Man - Nick Lowe. It's admittedly derivative, and only made #63 in the UK, but it is undeniably catchy.

6. Alison - Elvis Costello

7. Walk Away Renee - The Left Banke. For some reason I prefer the Four Tops cover of this one, but The Left Banke's Pretty Ballerina is a very favorite.

8. Got My Mind Set On You - George Harrison

9. Do You Want To Dance? - Bobby Freeman

10.Young Turks - Rod Stewart

I'm surprised to see Fresh Air scoring so well. Despite the way I proseletyze for Quicksilver Messenger Service, I hate this song. I think Dino Valente's return to the group ruined everything. I can't tolerate his vocals.

[Farin]

thanks Dappled

and if I see it right two of these were last nominated only two weeks ago

[blind-fitter]

1) Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones (1976)

2) Pressure Drop - Toots & The Maytals (1970)

3) Girl Like You, A - Edwyn Collins (1994)

4) Jolene - Dolly Parton (1974)

5) Superstar - The Carpenters (1971)

6) Beetlebum - Blur (1997)

7) Rock and Roll (Parts 1 & 2) - Gary Glitter (1973)

8) Starman - David Bowie (1972)

9) Don't Get Me Wrong - The Pretenders (1986)

10) Magic - Pilot (1974)

Costello, Queen and FNM just missed out.

Point of order though: Rock And Roll (parts 1 & 2)- can these really be classed as one song, since they featured on opposite sides of the single? Maybe there's a continuous version of which I am unaware? I'm happy to be "corrected" on this, if that be the case. I was just wondering that's all.... They're definitely separate tracks on my copy of the single, anyway. (The first I ever bought, if I recall correctly)
