Didn't get a mention but my favorite would be Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again Naturally". The most upbeat heartbreakingly tragic song ever composed. And only an Irishman could pen lyrics whose meter make absolutely no sense as written, but only in the context of the music.

Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again Naturally".

He had a few more hits.

I always liked that song. Very evocative of depressed misery, but if you aren’t depressed and in misery, it won’t make you that way...

The musicality of Gilbert O’Sullivan’s hit was impressive, he’s right up there with some of Randy Bachman’s Guess Who work which was head and shoulders above most three chord Charlie rock crap.
