Very interesting point made that there isn't a top 20 list anymore.  Those were the days when 20 songs were known by almost everybody.

Really enjoyed the podcasts.    One thing not mentioned was that Neil was a legend in South America. Even till today. :)

FFS that annoying as hell ad on the end means I have to go edit it out before i can pass this on to my mum, a huge Sedaka fan.
