@jillwebb2005 Thank you as always Jill for all the work you put into the polls. This has been interesting one for sure lots of surprises along the way and probably not the final I would have predicted before we started, but as we have progressed it became apparent that these 2 would make it.

After a marathon eight weeks of tough decisions and lively (and sometimes heated) discussion, the grand final of the #1977singlespoll is upon us!
It’s been a brilliant contest! Thanks to everyone.
There’s still time to vote in the semifinals if you haven’t yet.
See you later.

@jillwebb2005 Stunned Jill I had No More Heroes going the distance, but I keep saying nothing is guaranteed here and I am not sure if its going to be Bowie or the Pistols who come out on top.

@lee0969 @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_X Great album, could pick from 6 or 7 of the 11 tracks, but Now for those of you watching in black and white, this one is technicolour - Happy Together is my choice
English

On this day in 1982 No 1 UK Album Chart The Jam “The Gift” Now this one is a very difficult choice for us. After changing my mind time and time again I’ll choose “Just Who Is The 5 O’Clock Hero?” How about you? #1980s #TheJam @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_x @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkaManD14

@DaveMacLachlan1 No tears to cry - Paul Weller

@lee0969 @jillwebb2005 One of my favourite albums still got my white vinyl copy.. every song is great but closing the album Got The Time is really ending on a high..
Winsham, England 🇬🇧 English

On this day in 1979 No 63 UK Album Chart Joe Jackson with his first album “Look Sharp” IMHO another debut album of the very highest quality. Another difficult choice but I’m choosing the obvious “Is She Really Going Out With Him?” How about you? #1970s #JoeJackson @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_x @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkaManD14

@jillwebb2005 That's very true too Jill and in Circus and planners dream it has 2 of weakest songs in the bands entire catalogue and Trans Global Express is spoiled by the vocals getting lost somewhere in the mixing process.
English

@Russcox1808 Very true. I guess it marked the beginning of the end so that could affect my perception of it too.

I’m sneaking in a late birthday wish to The Gift by #TheJam
It doesn’t seem 44 years since this album was released.
For me it lacks the magic of its 3 predecessors but there are some standout tracks. Ghosts, Five O’Clock Hero & Happy Together are my favourites. How about you?

English

OK so who can remember what they were doing 46 years ago today? I can it was a Monday and I was at school, but the important thing was at lunchtime I walked into town to get my copy of Going Underground from the Longplayer. A classic single that has truly stood the test of time

@jillwebb2005 What a tune was the first Jam single that I bought and there started a lifetime of listening to Mr Weller.
Winsham, England 🇬🇧 English

Found myself in a strange town
Though I've only been here for three weeks now
I've got blisters on my feet
Trying to find a friend in Oxford Street.
Happy 4️⃣7️⃣ birthday Strange Town.
It will always be my favourite single by #TheJam
