Sorry to all I offended or upset I have no right trying to tell you what to
listen to or buy. Carry on as Squire said It's A Mod,Mod World. We still are
the best things around in the music world whatever one's taste. So come on
does anybody know what the charts (UK) are about these days??? I remember
"Going Underground" crashing in at Number one (Very unusual in them days)
now we get a new Number 1 every week Let's compile our own mod chart taken
from Rallies/Clubs and own personal playlists to see if we can find the
ultimate Mod number one. Any era 60's/70's/80's/90's/ Todays mod grooves.

PS Hi to the American viewers who I now understand to be on a different time
to us (a few hours difference) Thanks for that Misa pleased I didn't offend
you. How many mods are there in America roughly and who are the best bands
doing the circuit???
