Favourite Hot Chocolate track.

For me, it has too be 'Everyone's a winner', for its innovative use of the Roland GR500 guitar synthesiser.

Guitars should sound like guitars. A great song of course, but why make the guitar sound like some hair sprayed ponce on a keyboard?
Those wonderful norks are never far from my thoughts, oh yeah!

Yes, guitars should sound like guitars. Only acoustic, of course. Begone with those Stratocasters and other such abominations.

"Everyone's a Winner".

Because the guitar riff, and solo, is amazing.  Guitars should sound like guitars and it does.
Some people say I'm self-obsessed but that's enough about them.
