Edited by AH Gold

1. Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel - Make me smile (come up and see me) OK but as I mentioned in the 1974 thread not really a fan - the only SH song I really like is Freedom's Prisoner, a minor top 75 hit in late 1979

2. Reperata - shoes I knew I'd heard this so youtube'd it. Great song, different!

3. Maria Muldaur - Gringo en mexico not heard

4. Procal Harum - Pandoras box great song and largely forgotten

5. Average White Band - Pick up the pieces good song

6. Teach In - Ding a dong oh Mushy! More europap :P

7. Gilbert Becaud - A little love and understanding never cared much for this

8. Olivia Newton John - Have you never been mellow I've forgotten how this sounds

9. T Rex - New york city well past his peak by now, I was never a T Rex / MB fan and could take or leave his music. This one I could leave...

10. Ray Stevens - Misty dull!

11. John Lennon - Imagine great song, although now so over exposed that I've started to get a bit sick of hearing it

12. Hello - New york groove good pop song

13. Foxx - Imagine me imagine you quirky song, preferred S-S-S-Single Bed the following year

14. David Essex - Hold me close not my cup of tea!

15. Roxy Music - Love is the drug excellent song, it would be in my top 5 for '75

16. Laurel and Hardy ft the Avalon boys wiith Chill Wills - On the trail of the lonesome pine good fun song

17. Foxx - Only you can OK

18. Helen Reddy - Angie baby good song for the one hit wonder

19. Labelle - Lady marmalade not bad but a bit too mature sounding for the young me back in 1975!

20. 10cc - Life in a minestrone 10cc were often too clever for their own good and this is an example why

21. Kraftwerk - Autobahn sounded like nothing I'd ever heard at the time and even then it was 3 years old!

22. Osmonds - The proud one one of their better songs but that's not saying much...

23. Nazereth - My white bicycle not my cup of tea

24. Typically Tropical - Barbadoes hated this song then and still do now!

25. Abba - I do i do i do OK. I remember it being played to death in summer 1975 on Radio 1 but it was another flop for them and they lookied finished...

26. Minnie Ripperton - Loving you not bad

27. Disco Tex and the Sex o letts - I wanna dance wit choo didn't like

28. Judy Collins - Send in the clowns sounds like it should have been in Evita or something. Hated the song then but love it now

29. 10cc - Im not in love again. not my cup of tea

30. Mike Batt - Summertime city liked it at the time

31. Abba - Sos great song and the real start of Abba's period of success

32. Queen - Bohemian rhapsody excellent song, my fave of 1975

33. Steeleye Span - All around my hat it was tipped to be the Christmas number one but in the end was nowhere near come the big day

34. Mike Oldfield - In dulce jubilo I like this but many people seem to find it annoying

 

1976 will be even worse but then things should start to improve...
