Ah, but David Essex has two bona fide classics to his name. "Rock On" is a masterpiece, incredibly bold and innovative for its time. "That'll Be The Day" was a movie I loved at the time as well.
(Argumentative, moi?) 
I think we can agree on this one:
PJ Harvey - Dress - Live (V Festival 2003)
Yes.I remember her first appearance on the Peel show.He was almost speechless with excitement afterwards
I think David's cheeky grin was the attraction as was that of Bon Scott apparently.
There are a few LP's we both like eg: Hounds of Love by Kate Bush
Do you have someone to share your music with ?
The opening of "Vremia" (Time) daily news programme for many years in this clip. Fascinating rhythmic piece named "Vremia Vpered!" - Time (is, goes) ahead (forward), I'd translate it as Time Fly!

Yes. Fortunately, as I'm such a dictator, we're pretty compatible. Our only disagreements are over Joni Mitchell and Half Man Half Biscuit. I'll let you work out where I stand.
It causes trouble over Bridgwater
You are a biscuit man for sure.

I bought "Damaged Goods" at the time, and also "I Love a Man in a Uniform" and their second album, and still have them. I played my copy of"I Love a Man in a Uniform" last night. I saw them live too in the early 80s. Have assorted other cds by them I bought later.
They were great too when they made a comeback and appeared on "Later" in 2010, and blew all the other acts off the stage (TV studio).

I bought Rock On when it cam out because as you say it was innovative and had a great sound. He was another one like Bolan, Bowie, Alvin and Gary Glitter who were around in the 60s but reinvented themselves to become massive stars in the 70s.
Thanks,George I hadn't seen that later video
When I first heard them,I thought they sounded like Feelgood with Wilko,which was a good thing,of course.

Spot on!
Seeing Wilko and Dr Feelgood was a real lightbulb moment," he told The Skinny in 2015.

Knew that about Bolan, Bowie, Alvin and Gary Glitter, but not about Mr. Essex.

Pink Floyd's "Meddle" on vinyl with some nice beers and incense. It's almost 1977 again.
