@JamesMelville Which ones do you think he should have not gone on ? Given the state of the World they all look pretty important to me.

Jet set Starmer. Keir Starmer's 39 foreign trips have now cost British taxpayers £4.2m in less than two years in office. More than any other serving PM in history.

@TheHouseof08 The Jam.

You can only pick one... JOY DIVISION - ATMOSPHERE or THE JAM - DOWN IN THE TUBE STATION AT MIDNIGHT What's it going to be?

@jillwebb2005 Thanks Jill for all of your hard work on these polls. Some fabulous songs in 1977!. Great to all the comments.

Morrissey & Kevin Rowlands when they were punks… Bob Marley stealing the show… John Peel’s record box… Gaye Black’s art… Pioneers of DIY culture… Bowie, The Pistols and tons more! We’re talking all things 1️⃣9️⃣7️⃣7️⃣ in my latest blog post!! kindredspiritfanzine.blogspot.com/2026/01/1977-p…

The blog post dedicated to the #1977singlespoll is online! Thank you to everyone who contributed. I'm taking a break for a while now, but please help me spread the word by sharing a link to the blog on your SM channels. I hope you enjoy reading. kindredspiritfanzine.blogspot.com/2026/01/1977-p…

@HalfwayPost Only 74%. Do the other 24% also still believe in Father Christmas and the Easter Bunny?

BREAKING: A new poll found that 74% of Americans suspect Jared Kushner has "likely committed treason" by sabotaging the Iranian peace negotiations and acting as an agent of Israel to force the US into this war.

@kbwavfc @jillwebb2005 Worth remembering that Bowie was only 30 in 1977. Looking back the amazing thing is that Weller/Strummer/Poly Styrene/Pistols/Buzzcocks still only teenagers/early 20's. 1977 was a truly great year!

@jillwebb2005 Took some huge scalps on the way. A surprise winner considering the competition some massive Punk anthems & that early aggressive Jam stuff. Fair play to the old lad seeing off the young whippersnappers!! Thanks again Jill. Great fun 😃

The winner of the #1977singlespoll is… 🥁 💥David Bowie - Heroes💥 A big thank you to all 1652 who voted in the final. Blog post coming soon so stay tuned. Please enjoy the footage of David filmed at Live Aid. youtu.be/JFHC6t13hi0?si…

@Hplays_piano hope you can get help and fell better soon.

@jillwebb2005 Jill, thanks for all of your hard work on this. Brilliant songs that bring back some fantastic memories. So many great songs could have been in the final but ultimately who can argue with DB and GSTQ!

We started with 236 songs. After a rollercoaster ride we’re now down to the final 2. It’s been an absolutely fantastic contest with shocks and surprises all the way through. A massive thank you to everyone who has got behind it. One last time… 1 - Sex Pistols 2 - David Bowie

@withnailjones @DPJHodges Unfortunately, Dan is all over the place with his opinions at the moment. Pretty clear that Starmer and Labour can't do anything right in the eyes of @DPJHodges and his pay masters.

If you fancy a laugh then @DPJHodges feed is a proper clusterfuck right now. He was raging that Starmer didn’t blindly follow Trump into an illegal war and is now trying to justify how he was right to be wrong to be right to be wrong because he’s got Starmer Derangement Syndrome

@DPJHodges But pretty unclear what those people who disapprove think he should be doing. Some like Farage/Badenoch think we should have jumped straight in and 100% backed Trump. Others will think the support we have given has gone too far. Most will accept the balance Starmer has achieved.

Reality check. Despite the prevailing narrative, a small majority of voters think Keir Starmer is handling the war badly. news.sky.com/story/voters-s…

@Nigeblueboi @jillwebb2005 Very true. It was an amazing year for music.

@jillwebb2005 Clash Bowie Jam Pistols semis. You've never had it so good peeps.

Round 12 of the #1977singlespoll and just 6 songs remain. There are 2 polls tonight. The top 2 from each go through to the semifinals. I’ll try listing the artists again. 🤞 1 - The Clash 2 - Sex Pistols 3 - Sex Pistols 2/2

@Nigeblueboi @jillwebb2005 Very true. An amazing year for music.

@jillwebb2005 Could be close.

Here’s the final batch of songs in round 7 of the #1977singlespoll There are 6 polls tonight. The top 2 from each go forward. Thanks for your votes & comments last night. Let’s hope there are no glitches tonight! 6/6 1 - Carly Simon 2 - Bob Marley & the Wailers 3 - X-Ray Spex

@jillwebb2005 If you recall in those days the new chart rundown was announced on Radio 1 just before 1pm. I remember my mate shouting across the playground to me "It's number 1" Exciting times! Hard to believe it seems even more relevant now than it did under Thatcher/Reagan.

#OTD in 1980 The Jam released Going Underground/The Dreams of Children. I took a day off work to make sure I got a copy. I remember being overjoyed to get the bonus disc! And then it went straight to number 1! That's when we dedicated fans knew everyone else finally "got it".

@jillwebb2005 That's who I went for.

@MikeBurton2000 HInt... The Adverts need your vote a little more.

Here’s the 2nd batch of songs in round 6 of the #1977singlespoll There are 4 polls tonight. The top 3 from each go forward. 2/4 1 - The Adverts 2 - ABBA 3 - The Stranglers 4 - Bob Marley & the Wailers

@jillwebb2005 Amazing footage. Who would have thought they would develop so much and explore so many different musical genres in the the next 3 years and become so influential.

Here’s a treat for everyone who voted for ‘Remote Control’ in the #1977singlespoll Some awesome grainy film footage of The Clash, on the White Riot tour in 1977, playing Capital Radio, Protex Blue, Cheat and… Remote Control. youtu.be/2R-807QfQO4?si…

@jillwebb2005 The Sex Pistols -other bands would still have produced the great music but the Pistols meant they had national coverage (at least that's how it looked like in 1977 to 13 yr old in Hull!)

Here’s the last batch of songs in round 5 of the #1977singlespoll There are 2 polls tonight. The top 2 from each go forward. 2/2 ‼️Tough‼️ 1 - The Clash 2 - Thin Lizzy 3 - Sex Pistols

@jillwebb2005 Wikipedia says they appeared on TOTP more than any other band. I was surprised but given their longevity it makes sense.

Oh here we are and here we are and here we go All aboard and we're hitting the road… Status Quo’s ‘Rockin’ All Over the World’ evoked mixed feelings in the #1977singlespoll This legendary Live Aid performance is for everyone who voted for it. youtu.be/eEO6v-YiS00?si…

@jillwebb2005 Status Quo always very popular at the school/youth club discos. Remember also "Caroline" and "Down Down" all the denim clad lads would suddenly jump and do the Quo "dance".
