Or no Fall *and* no Clash. I think it's inconceivable that the top 5 won't
include Atmosphere, Love Will..., Teenage Kicks, How Soon, and Anarchy. It
might even be in that order (1-5), seeing as Joy Division have done so well.
Which leaves God Save the Queen and White Man in the Hamersmith Palais out
of the top 50 and below 2 Beach Boys and one Jimi Hendrix song. Good God.And
no Geek Love either :(

Seeing as we're getting so anal about this stuff (the obsessiveness of
others has been a great comfort to me), did anyone use to listen to "Turn It
Up!" on Radio Sussex and Surrey? If so, does anyone have any lists (or,
please God, tapes) of the end of year listener charts? I've got a tape of
the (I think) 1992 Top 20, which is one of my very favourite things (Top 3:
Pavement, Sonic Youth, Huggy Bear). I've net trawled, but to no avail.

Cheers,

Daniel
