29 March 2013: it's... 1979
« on: March 29, 2013, 07:29:00 AM »
renee's clue: "the last episode of All in the Family aired". Assuming she hasn't conflated Archie Bunker's Place with AITF, that would mean 1979.

Predictions: "Cruel to Be Kind", "My Sharona", "Heart of Glass", something from The Wall.

Wish list: BeeGees "Love You Inside Out", Cher "Take Me home", Shoes "Too late", XTC "10 Feet tall", David Johanssen "Melody", Kermit, "Rainbow Connection"

wow: nice start with JJ, "Friday" -- a worthy TOTHK (despite the censorship of "shit").  BOS1.

VHM ARS's smooth but rather unnecessary remake of "Spooky"

BOS for "10". I enjoyed that one, though the commercial is kinda lame.

Very good set so far, I reckon. I'm enjoying every sandwich tune.

There are certainly hundreds if not thousands of more worthy songs from 1979 than this one.

Let's get right to it.

Oy: uber-uber-uber-LN the Iggles. In the long run, just about anything else from this LP (well, except "Heartache Tonite") woulda been a cool rarity. I'm partial to "The Greeks Don't want No Freaks" myself.
