I half-expect the "Gay Pimp" guy who did that stupid "Soccer Practice" song to recast this song as "Pole Smoking in the Boys' Room."

VHM S&C "Diamond... Person." This still begs for an R&B cover by somebody.

My BOS vote goes to "Diamond Girl."  I know I'm supposed to dislike Seals & Crofts because of their abortion commentary on Unborn Child, but this and "Hummingbird" and "Summer Breeze" are simply magnificent productions.

Whitburn says "Rock On" charted on 1/12/74, but why quibble over a couple weeks?  Mebbe the album hit prior ...

I have NO idea what you're talking about.

OK, Bob's "when it was released" rule sometimes seems silly, as with "Rock On" which is a 1974 song by anybody's standards -- unless you're British.

quibble Jinx!

it was a hit in the UK in the summer of '73, but for US purposes, it's a '74 song.

BTW have you ever seen Essex's film Stardust

Raspberries? I thought they were cribbing from Grand Funk.

One of my fave ABB songs...

a shelter

On the KFOG morning show they were talking about "the creepies of World Class Rock", artists you find creepy for whatever reason, lifestyle (MJ), politics (Ted Nugent), etc.  And of course the consensus was: separate the music from the artist.
