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.

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.
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.

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?

21. Mud - Tiger feet yay! My favourite song of the year back in 1974

Not many I'd add. Maybe George McCrae's Rock You Baby and Pilot - Magic. Otherwise a great list.

 

I replied to 1973 stating the omission of Radar Love. I see it's here instead :lol:
