    In no order:
    Useless Information
    Hello Susie
    Flowers In The Rain
    California Man
    Ella James
    Mist On a Monday Morning
    Blackberry Way (imagine if Jimmy Miller had produced more of their stuff)
    First Movement
    Dear Elaine
    I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday (it’s undeniable!)

    ...this list is liabale to change on a daily basis. How did someone make so much good stuff in 10 years, and then has released so little for the past 40?

    I second this. I travelled to England to see his tour last Christmas and it was a blast. A deft, funny 90 minute blast featuring all the hits you want and it was very, very loud. (Although, like Macca, don’t expect any superfan deep cuts). I managed to get in backstage afterwards and meet the man himself. Sometimes you should meet your heroes, he was such a nice bloke.

    Offhand, a quickie 10:

    Blackberry Way
    Flowers in the Rain
    Fire Brigade
    Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited
    Fields of People
    The Last Thing On My Mind
    Tonight
    No Time
    10538 Overture
    Whisper in the Night

    Chronological, except Blackberry Way which was one of those songs I absolutely flipped out over when I first heard it. My esteem has tailed off a shade but it's still a good one.

    Why, in 40 years of being a Move and Roy Wood fan, have I never heard of this before?

    Excellent.

    This is really difficult. Roy has an over-abundance of musical gems that will never, ever get the proper credit they deserve. For what it's worth, here's my list....

    I Can Hear The Grass Grow
    Fire Brigade
    Omnibus
    Blackberry Way
    Hello Susie
    The Battle Of Marston Moor (July 2nd 1644)
    California Man
    See My Baby Jive
    Miss Clarke And The Computer
    Rock Down Low

    ...and this list doesn't even break the surface.
