(26th January 1963)
A title that promises business as usual; a song that delivers just that. Solid Shadowy entertainment that only really takes off when the guitar decides to turn into a mountain bike and kick up some dirt. 5

Tom, I wish I could tear into you for the shortest analysis yet. But what to say? Only that Atlantis, a Jerry Lordan-penned atmospheric blinder that settled at number 2 later in the year, was once voted the greatest record of all time on a Liverpool radio station. Dance On defines cruise control, shoulda been Top 5 at best. Neil Young probably didn’t have it in mind when he namechecked Hank B Marvin on the back of Buffalo Springfield Again.
The blurb for Elvis’ “Good Luck Charm” is shorter!
I’m very glad to see comments on some of these older entries by the way. Most of the ones from ‘56 or so on used to have a healthy few comments - not the 100+ epics we get now, but half a dozen or so - and they were all lost when we switched comments systems. So the old entries can look like a bit of a wasteland.
