Now we enter obscurity!

[madrchsod]

1. can`t think of any right now

to many long drug filled nights back then...

[DemBones DemBones]

2. Obscurity? More like antiquity! But I recall "A World Without Love"

quite well.


"I don't care what you say,
I can't live in a world without love."

[MrScorpio]

3. Forgive me

But who the flying frick are Peter and Gordon.

Is this a Canadian thing?

When I was in Detroit, I never heard of these guys.

[Maple]

:7

[radiclib]

6. Too many to choose from...

A few that shoulda been hits:
To Show I Love You
Soft As the Rain
Don't Pity Me
If I Were You (flip of WWL)

Some that coulda been bigger hits:
Knight in Rusty Armour
Woman (written by McCartney as "Bernard Webb"!!)
Sunday for Tea

Best All-Time: I Go to Pieces

Yer talkin' my era, pally :beer:

[last_texas_dem]

8. I'm with ya on "Don't Pity Me"

I'd have to pick that one as my favorite. Definitely underrated; I think it only peaked at #83. I also love "If I Were You", "If You Wish", and "I Told You So", as some of the lesser-known greats.

[Stargleamer]

7. That's easy...

"I Go To Pieces"

[Dogmudgeon]

9. Lady Godiva

I think it was a P&G song ...

--bkl
He directs "Certificate X", and all the men are craning their necks to see her ...
Her long blond hair, lying on the barber's floor, she doesn't need it long anymore, hey-hey-hey,
Lady Godiva!

[Kool Kitty]

10. My faves are "I Go To Pieces"

and "To Know You is to Love You". I loved these guys. I was a real British band freak, I loved them all!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. Go to Pieces is my fav but Lennon McCartney wrote

World Without Love for themselves but apparently passed the song on to P&G because Lennon couldn't sing the line "Please lock me away" without cracking up... so the story goes.

[Spirochete]

14. Paul McCartney

was dating Peter Asher's sister at about that time, too, wasn't he?

[Spirochete]

13. I go to Pieces

was my favorite. I liked Lady Godiva and Knight in Rusty Armor, too.

[MaineDem]

15. I was so in love with Peter

Ahhhhhh, that red hair, the glasses....*sigh*

Really I was! But I was, like, 15 and figured I'd have a better shot at him than at Paul McCartney who was dating Peter's sister, Jane. See, I had this all figured out. Man, I was so wrong! :D

I like "True Love's Ways" the best. Or was that Chad and Jeremy?

Oh for those high school years again...
