So what did you expect at Number One on Planet Claire? The B52s? No chance. They had quite big hits on Planet Earth and were ostracised on Planet Claire as a direct result. Good band mind. No, it's Rodriguez. The ultimate example of a great artist who never got his due in his time. First week at Number One on Planet Claire. Vince Taylor having slipped down after two and a half months on top. Apologies to Pylon, The Slickers, Half Japanese, Pere Ubu, Felt, Misty In Roots, Nico, The Residents, Fad Gadget, Josef K, The Scars, The Nits, Amon Duull II, Jacques Dutronc, The Gun Club, The Seeds, The 13th Floor Elevators, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, The Fugs, The Real Kids, The Diodes, The Clean, Love, Subway Sect and all the other great artists who are greatly loved but never had a hit. I know Jacques Dutronc did technically but France doesn't count. Hope you've enjoyed the chart. If you have, make one of your own and publish it. The existing charts leave a lot to be desired!
