    6/10 The appeal is entirely nostalgic, for me at least. I'm quite happy to hear that tune about once every twenty-five years and give it an indulgent lick of my Curly-Wurly.

    However, it has given rise to one of my favourite ever YouTube comments, which I'll reproduce here to save you having to scroll through a couple of pages of semi-coherent one-liners. One contributor describes Lindisfarne as

    "...the band who helped make the early 70s what they are today."

    Similar sort of period - a song that my intermittent band takes a shot at.

    Yes - I agree with the nostalgia. I noticed an Alan Price track in the list next to the video. That'd be the same - nostalgia.

    Excellent track - 8/10

    That was reasonably good as cheesy rock goes, but I think something a bit louder and angrier is called for...

    I didn't like it. Good intro though. 3/10

    I prefer this. I sometimes sing it when I'm pushing 10 miles per hour on my bike.

    10/10 - deep purple. Quality.

    This is my current song of the month:

    There's some Dylan I really like, and that isn't it. Pedestrian tune and undisciplined lyrics served up in a lazy arrangement. 4/10


    Who's that listenin'?

    That's an excellent song. 9/10

    Difficult to follow with something as good. Something different then.

    Excellent film too.

    Accounting for being made to look at Jon Voight's pubic hair, that gives you...

    2 Lisas out of 5 Hannigans

    P.S. 'Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues' is just one of MANY amazing songs on that album.

    Hannigan did a cover which I loved, but I thought I should be true blue and go with the original. Annnd 9/10 for that one.

    Here's another which doesn't get the profile it deserves.

    True enough. 8.5 out of 10. I've heard it so often, I may be a poor judge.

    Strangely enough, it has been said that Sgt. Peppers is one of the greatest albums of music history, although I would choose a different Beatles album for that title. Just my preference though. I suppose the theme appeals to people.

    God, love both of those Beatles' songs so much. They're on the short list, that's for sure- a lot of Let it Be is just pure gold and it's even better without Spectre's overdubs (Let it Be... Naked) even though we're all used to hearing it the first way. And 'Good Morning Good Morning' is one of this reader's favorites, too. Short listed.

    9 loves out of 10 lives, let's get together and feel alright for Mr. Marley.

    Here's one of this reader's absolute favorites!

    So would I. Revolver or Abbey Road.

    10/10 for She Said She Said, Jack.

    Regardless of genre, you can't knock a fantastic melody.
