David Essex “Rock on”

You all know this one. ‘Tis a great record. (”On and on” is crap;
I thought it might be a dub, but sadly it’s a shit ballad.)
Prove it?
Just the facts:
Produced by Jeff Wayne aka Klaus Trophobe with garden shedloads of echo, 3-D bass, slinky glissandi strings, hardly any drums, nitpicking guitar and fag packet afterthought lyrics.
Stood out a million miles on the radio when it came out.
Covered by Def Leppard!
Nominated for an Emmy!

And where do we go from here?
