The Bay City Rollers….
Jigsaw with Sky High… I’m almost certain I haven’t heard it since the seventies…
Rockin’ All Over The World by Fogerty is one of my favorites of his…that and Almost Saturday Night.
That was one of those mid 70’s AM classics- that you heard a lot at the time but never afterwards… Those Fogerty tunes you mentioned were outstanding- must be something with the record company I have never seen that on CD.. I found the album though many years ago.. great stuff.
The way I found the two Fogerty songs were cover versions…Almost Saturday Night by the Georgia Satellites was one. I’m not a huge fan of them but they do a great version of that…
Yea the record company must not have backed it much at all.
Feel like people who complain about modern music should be directed to this chart. A lot of bad songs.
I agree! Though I was a huge Elton John fan, I thought ‘Island Girl’ was mediocre, and I hated Neil Sedaka’s ‘Bad Blood’.
Elton was at least starting to show signs of decline around that time.
Wow, Hans, you really do hate ‘Feelings’ so much you gave it an F- lol.
Yes an F- is for those few special songs- I didn’t even give The Captain and Tennille an F-!
You and Eclectic talked about what I was going to say was funny. Those two are a close race.
