I used to have the 45 of "Mr. Jaws". I wish I still did.

'75 was a good music year. Sure, there was "Run. Joey, Run"- but there was also "Ballroom Blitz". Amazing.
nakes? On my plane?

You know what I suddenly wish for?  Alice Cooper's "Only Women Bleed".

Don't ask me why...

Oh ho ho it's BOS3.  A sledgehammer of sorts, which outranks its Katrinish tendencies.

VHM to the Magic of Pilot.  Though maybe I should be sick of this by now.

OH..HO...HO!!

Glam-pop on the charts...'75 was a great year for rock. You could hear this song about every 40 minutes on KFRC.
Let's get right to it.

Well, "Magic" sorta helps illustrate my point: '75? Great music, cheesy music and some great cheesy music. That was '75.

Well "Run, Joey, Run" hit #4, while "Ballroom Blitz", "Magic" & "Games People Play" all peaked at #5.

Greatest summary of a year ever.

P.S.  Coincidentally, inspired by Alicat's putting "Who Loves You" on a '75 mix for me, I've been working on a short speculation piece on why so many '60s artists had critical and commercial comebacks in that year.  Four Seasons, John Sebastian, Jefferson Starship, Ben E. King, David Ruffin, etc.
