Cutting out the dopey 77 vocals, gotta vote for 1977.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Sticking with Capital Radio One since, again, Capital Radio Two is right there. 1977 is great, and Joe's vox during that time rule.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Same. As I’ve said before, “Joe’s 77 vocals are bad” is the one Hoy opinion I legitimately find infuriating as opposed to just bemusing.

Nut cutting time. Went with The Prisoner, but not out of any malice.

All 77 tunes sound better after 77. City of the Dead on FHTE, case in point.

Oops, didn't even realize Cap 1 and 2 were on. Cap 1 will get my vote next opportunity.

Remote Control from the Vanilla Tapes didn't.

1977, it's a bit of a nothing track in my opinion .

Except for being a cool tune and archetypal Year Zero lyrics.

I can't describe my dislike for it very well but musically it's just a bit "NER NER, NER NER, NER NERNER NER"

Yawn.

Only one for me - CCR - there is no excuse for it.

Pathetic.

I'd be curious what you hate about CCR, since it's fairly widely regarded as a classic.
