March 13, 200916 yr 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...
