Professor Of Rock has released the video below, along with the following introduction…
“Coming up, a year that was so great we had to reformat our countdown to 12 songs, truly compelling masterworks here… including the song ‘All The Young Dudes’ by David Bowie, which he knew was a can’t miss smash. But he gave it to his favorite band, Mott The Hoople, who needed a hit or they were done. The song saved their career and became an all-time classic. Then there was the rookie Justin Hayward, who sent the legend Eric Burdon his demo tape, and it was rejected. But then, years later, Eric ended up covering the artist he scorned.. As well as the Seals & Crofts feelgood classic, ‘Summer Breeze’, with a melody played by a toy the singer found in the studio, that made it sound different than anything on radio. Then there were The Hollies, who were known for crafting pretty pop hits, who decided to rock out, the lead singer did his best John Fogerty impression, and the song ‘Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress’ became a smash. But then he got sued by the man he mimicked and had to pay him half the royalties. It’s the countdown of the Top 12 Songs of 1972, next on Professor of Rock!”
"Prophets Of Addiction is a modern day Hanoi Rocks meets The 69 Eyes with plenty of Pop hooks and Whisky drenched vocals." - Metal Sludge.
