GUEST,Dil, I only knew one song on your 21 Oct 08 - 10:27 PM list. For what it's worth, the lone song that I knew was "They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" - Napoleon XIV". And the only singer names on that list that I recognize are John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and Telly Savalas {Telly Savalas, the bald headed lollipop sucking television detective Kojak made some records?!}

Is your list from the UK? And are all those songs from the 1950s?

Reading your list made me realize how USA centered my Rock & Roll, R&B, and pop music knowledge is. I'm ashamed to say that before Mudcat, I didn't give any thought to the fact that other countries had their own hit records that were [often?; usually?] different from American hit records. And, if I gave it any thought at all, I just assumed that everybody in the world-or at least every English speaking person in the world-would know the American hit Rock and Roll, Rhythm & Blues, and pop songs and I just assumed that people in other nations would prefer American songs over the songs that were recorded in their own country.

Thanks to Mudcat, at least I now know that those assumptions were not only stupid, but they were arrogant. I'm sorry about that {or as the hip hopper say-My bad}.
