[HG]

Just been watching Tony Blackburns Sensational 70s on Magic the top 3 were

3 Blondie Heart of Glass
2 The Village People YMCA
1 Abba Dancing Queen

For me Dancing queen is the ulimate pop song ever written , so i'd go along with that as No 1, but my own top 3 is

3 Gerry Rafferty Baker Street
2 Ian Drury Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick

Whats your top 3?
