March 9, 200916 yr I don't know any of your all-time favourites :lol: Well, I did just turn 2 at the end of 1974. From the list you've included there, I like; Queen - Killer Queen Abba - Waterloo Isley Brothers - Summer Breeze Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells Theme Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet Mud - Tiger Feet I can't believe you've included Sylvia's Y Viva Espana - loved it way back when on family holidays to Spain...but could I listen to it now? I don't think so! Also, I couldn't stand Sparks, more of an assault on the ears than music.
March 9, 200916 yr Author oh i have a soft spot for these holiday songs..... ok they are all naff but my favs arnt based of musical credibility alone..... sometimes naff tracks have a high nostalgia value which means theyll score.
March 9, 200916 yr 1974 was the year I was really in to music and started listening to the top 20 every Sunday. Haven't heard of the Maria Muldaur one, only Midnight At The Oasis. Heard of all the others.

Cockney Rebel - Mr soft awful song. Not a fan of SH / CR but even less of a fan of this song. Wasn't it used in a Quavers advert a few years ago? 4. Prelude - After the goldrush Good song good 5. Leo sayer - The show must go on OK 6. Hot Chocolate - Emma Love this song 7. Cockney Rebel - Judy teen as SH / CR songs go not too bad 8. Isley Brothers - Summer breeze one of my all time faves. The intro is excellent, up there with the best 9. Mouth and McNeal - I see a star not heard it for years, OK but bland 10. Sparkes - This town aint big enough for both of us hated this at the time - I was a Mud fan in 1974! - but I love it now 11. Abba - Waterloo never liked this song, rather irritating song 12. Slade - Everyday the beginning of the end for Slade as their popularity had peaked but I liked this and Far Far Away 13. Neil sedaka - Laughter in the rain I liked this song, still good 14.

Sparkes - Amateur hour see above, hated it then but like it now 17. Splinter - Costa finetown a local group so the local radio station played it non-stop. OK 18. Bachman Turner Overdrive - You aint seen nothing yet good song. Another one to appear in an advert, 3rd so far on the list to be used in an ad 19. Cozy Powel - Dance with the devil excellent! I wonder if Cozy ever got paid by Boney M when they ripped this song off on the intro to Rasputin? 20. Golden earring - Radar love good song 21. Mud - Tiger feet yay! My favourite song of the year back in 1974 22. Ronnie Lane and Slim Chance - How come OK 23. David Bowie - Rebel rebel excellent - I thought this would have been higher in your list 24. Mud - The cat crept in yay x2! 25. R Dean Taylor - Theres a ghost in my house excellent song. It would be in my top 5 for the year 26.
