(Top 50 Countdown!!!) 50. Keith West - "Excerpt From A Teenage Opera"

Look, in movie terms, it’s 50% ‘Harold And Maude’, 50% ‘Bambi’, and 50% ‘Amour’ (yes, I can count, it’s more than the sum of its parts …). It’s a kitchen-sink Tin Pan Alley mix of “MacArthur Park”, “Halfway Down The Stairs” and “Shannon”. It’s the freaks at the Greta Garbo home for wayward boys and girls hanging out with some ‘straight’ in a kipper tie at the last undertakers on the left. It’s a masterpiece. This was where we were at with our recording of Apollo’s “Rainbow Rider” on the “Million Seller” album.
