| DTjackson User Info... | I thought everyone liked Hotel California. It's a classic but you are entitled. Fun lists. - Tue, 26 Dec 2006 10:28pm | ||
| Adrien User Info... | Tell me.....what do you think is good song? - Thu, 18 Jan 2007 11:09pm | ||
| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | O.k. then, as far as....well, "half-decent" 70's radio songs are concerned, let's see...... Mississippi Queen Outa Space (Billy Preston instrumental) Boogie On Reggae Woman Take Me to the River Show Biz Kids Out on the Tiles Shattered Hocus Pocus Miles From Nowhere From the Beginning We're Only Making Plans For Nigel Masquerade Freewill Watching the Detectives Radar Love and don't tell me to mention the bands - you SHOULD know - Fri, 19 Jan 2007 1:20am Edited: Fri, 19 Jan 2007 1:38am | ||

| kenteleven User Info... | You know, Dougie, I consider the bass line from "Silly Love Songs" to be one of Paul's finest, surely worth the price of admission alone. And could it be that "half-decent song" "From the Beginning" was recorded by none other than that "pinnacle of hideousness" ELP? Ahh, what do I know? I actually like about 75% of the songs on your first list. - Fri, 19 Jan 2007 10:04am | ||
| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Oh yeah I'm definitely aware that's an Emerson Lake Embalmer song - I figured I'd cut them SOME slack. (I can have a nice, charitable side too, you know). "Silly Love Songs" I find sappy and pedestrian. /AWESOME posting of that album cover - for years now I've fantasized about doing a Peruke album called "Love Bitch", with our heads crudely cut and pasted over theirs. - Fri, 19 Jan 2007 11:16am Edited: Fri, 19 Jan 2007 11:17am | ||
| kenteleven User Info... | Silly love songs is definitely sappy, but, of course, it was written in response to a John Lennon comment that Paul seemed content to write only "Silly Love Songs". Paul then asks "What's wrong with that?". I guess all those songs John wrote about Yoko don't count (have you heard #9 Dream? Talk about sappy). Anyway, Silly Love Songs at least has a good back story. - Fri, 19 Jan 2007 11:58am | ||
| Bryan User Info... | Hahaha, I actually kind of like ELP but it's impossible to deny how completely absurd everything about them is. Love Beach is actually the only studio album of theirs I have yet to hear... I saw it on vinyl for $2 once and decided it wouldn't be worth the humilitation of taking THAT up to the clerk at the store (not to mention the humiliation of having THAT in my record collection). - Fri, 19 Jan 2007 1:54pm | ||
| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Cool - I never knew the story behind "S.L.S.". Gives the song a bit more credibility, for sure. Yeah - Lennon could be a dreary putz too - I should have put on the (yucky) list "Happy Christmas (War is Over)". Bryan - see if you can locate "Tocatta" from ELP's "Brain Salad Surgery" album from anywhere on the net, smoke some pot, and listen. Play it loud. There is a hidden, almost-impossible-to-detect powerviolence feel in there. - Fri, 19 Jan 2007 2:13pm | ||
| Steve User Info... | Well, a list of crap radio from the 70's could be long indeed. I'd prefer to remember a few gems. Some 70’s radio was actually pretty cool. You got a lot of schmaltz back then but some really interesting stuff received “Top 40” airplay. Here are some epic masterpieces that actually did really well on top 40 radio back then…. Do You Feel Like I Do-Live (7 minutes!) (Peter Frampton, 1976) Bohemian Rhapsody (6 minutes!) (Queen, 1975) Paradise by the Dashboard Lights (8.30!) (Meatloaf, 1977) Kashmir (8:29!) (Led Zeppelin 1975) And a bunch of other great tunes… Walk on the Wild Side (Lou Reed, 1971) Brown Sugar (Rolling Stones, 1971) Fame (David Bowie, 1975) Money (Pink Floyd, 1973) Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Elton John, 1973) Who are You (The Who, 1978) Rocky Mountain Way (Joe Walsh, 1973) School's Out (Alice Cooper, 1972) Roundabout (Yes, 1971) Could be a lot longer but I gotta get on with my day. Feel free to add... - Sat, 20 Jan 2007 1:59pm | ||
| Steve User Info... | Hey Curmudgeon...how old are you? I'm assuming you musta lived through the 70's (like me)-it's the only way you could know all those bad songs. The thing is of course, I listened to so much of it back then too (it was everywhere)and I have so many memories associated with each and every one of those songs. How messed up is that for the sound track to one's life? In the spirit of the original post , I'll add a couple more bad ones.... Have You Never Been Mellow (Olivia Newton John) Rhinestone Cowboy (Glen Campbell) Copacabana (Barry Manilow) With a Little Luck (Paul McCartney and Wings yet again) Cold as Ice (Foreigner) The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car (Trooper) Muskrat Love (Captain and Tenille) Babe (Styx) ok, that's enough. These songs would trigger a violent reaction when they came on the radio back then and I'm starting to feel twitchy just thinking about them again - Sat, 20 Jan 2007 3:34pm | ||
| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Good lists. Yeah - with all that shit being pumped into us as we were growing up, no wonder it's the soundtrack to our childhood. The crap embedded itself into our psyches just as deeply as the more tolerable tuneage did. In 1980 I was 16, and the worst was yet to come, though...... - Sat, 20 Jan 2007 5:36pm Edited: Sat, 20 Jan 2007 5:37pm | ||
| sealion User Info... | Oh muskrat love! Now there is the is one sick synth solo. - Thu, 25 Jan 2007 10:26pm | ||
| sealion User Info... | The worst IS yet to come. They will pipe it all into the long term care ward and we'll nod thinking we must be in heaven! Scared yet? - Thu, 25 Jan 2007 10:29pm Edited: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 10:30pm | ||
| DTjackson User Info... | So basically 95% of what they play on JACK FM - Fri, 26 Jan 2007 11:18am | ||
| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Is "Muskrat Love" the one with the sound of muskrats fucking? I think the end of "Jungle Love" also features the same thing. If there's any other songs with the word "Love" in the title and has the sounds of muskrats gettin all squiggly loud with each other, please let me know. - Fri, 26 Jan 2007 1:33pm Edited: Fri, 26 Jan 2007 1:47pm | ||
