The Peak year ends on yet another -5 note with John Fogerty's "Rockin' All Over the World" (which I initially only knew as a Staytus Quo song) and "Lady Marmalade." I'm told the latter speeds up considerably over the course of the song and would enjoy confirmation of this if anyone has a means of measuring BPM.
Ooh, and now That Sexy Voice takes his place in the singles bar! Dim the lights, you can guess the rest.

OMFG! Murray Head's orig version of "Say it Ain't So, Joe", later covered by Roger Daltrey.
So Gaz, has NY changed since you've been gone? :wink:

loved that commercial with "Bob Larynx" -- he sure sounded like Thurl Ravenscroft to me.

That was Murray Head?! I thought it *was* Daltrey singing!

OMFG2! Patti Smith. "Jesus died for somebody's sins... but not mine."
BOS3 after Mr Head and the Mighty Zep.
-
BOS4 Paul Simon, "You're Kind", one you NEVER hear from Still Crazy...
Rob's ending the year on a high note today.

You MUST read Turn the Beat Around: The Secret History of Disco as soon as you possibly can. Amazing stuff.

OMFG3 and BOS5: Kinks, "Ducks on the Wall" another one you never hear. Is this from Schoolboys in Disgrace?
-
OMFG4! Don Johnson in A Boy and His Dog. Was that really a '75 release? It didn't make it to NY theaters until summer of '76.
-
Dear Lord! Television! "Little Johnny Jewel" -- BOS6. This may be the most quirky and original 1975 set EVER. I urge everyone else to catch this on the replay tonite. Essential listening, as they say.

Pretty much the only song worth mentioning from that album. A Soap Opera is one of Ray's meager attempts at writing a rock opera. Ray plays a pompous show-biz svengali who thinks he can make anyone a star. I came across a copy of a BBC broadcast of this production and it was barely watchable. And I love the Kinks.

LOL! Schoolboys was also '75, tho', yes? Or am I confused? I had a couple friends back then who were Kinks fanatics, but I can't remember either LP getting much NYC airplay.

Yep, per AMG both were released in 75--I assume Soap Opera was early in the year and Schoolboys was late, but they don't give specific release dates. RDD and/or The Kinks were really prolific during that period, releasing eleven official albums between 1970 and 1979 (Lola vs. the Powerman & the Moneygoround Part 1 [there was no part 2]; Percy; Muswell Hillbillies; Everybody's in Show Biz; Preservation Act 1; Preservation Act 2; Soap Opera; Schoolboys in Disgrace; Sleepwalker; Misfits; Low Budget) plus a compilation of late 60s sides called The Great Lost Kinks album in 73, which I don't recall ever seeing. But comsidering they put out 10 albums of new material between 64 and 69, maybe their 70s output was no big deal.
