Subject: Favorite Song from 1976

Written By: CeramicsFanatic on 11/12/04 at 1:52 pm

Some goodies here!  My favorite is "Play That Funky Music" (Wild Cherry) because it holds memories for me.  Runner-up would be "December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)" by The Four Seasons...very catchy tune!  8)

Gasp! Can this be true, bj26? Look at the quality there...

(Alright, I'll let you off on 'Afternoon Delight'...! Ah well, to each their own...)

'Play That Funky Music' for me too with 'Love Hangover' and '50 Ways' vying for runner-up...

I liked Play That Funky Music, and December 1963. I got the Wild Cherry album for Christmas that year.

There are A-songs and B-songs for a year. These all look like B's and C's.

If I had to choose I guess I'll go with...

Let Your Love Flow - Bellamy Brothers  :)

It's the nearest to an A-song in the list.
;)

-----------------
Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright) - Rod Stewart starting going downhill at this point. So, different than his great early '70s stuff. :(

Mm...do agree with what I've heard of those manda, 'specially the Sherbet tracks - a criminally under-rated band...

So, what did we bestow upon the world that year?

Er...

'Combine Harvester' - The Wurzels
'Save Your Kisses For Me' - Brotherhood Of Man

Okay, that's enough...!

Must make mention of two fine ones from that year (but sadly, nothing to do with us) - Dr Hook's 'A Little Bit More' and, of course, Abba's 'Dancing Queen'...

Silly Love Songs..but if you had included an "Other" category I'd have chosen "Moonlight Feels Right" by Starbuck or "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again" by Eric Carmen :)

Let's see,1976 and from England? How about:

Fool for the City -  Foghat
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Love Is the Drug - Roxy Music
You Make Me Feel Like Dancing - Leo Sayer

And what the hell, go ahead and throw in one from Scotland and one from Ireland...
Year Of the Cat - Al Stewart
The Boys Are Back in Town - Thin Lizzy

P.S. The 1976 date is the year those songs came out in my neck of the woods.

1976 a staple year for music (and the year that I was born  8) )!

I picked Afternoon Delight with my next choice being Silly Love Songs

Subject: Re: Favorite Song from 1976

I actually picked Afternoon Delight as my number 1...I loved it when I first heard it, and it brings back memories of stormy nights being tucked into my Mums bed cause I was afraid of the thunder and feeling safe and warm listening to the radio....Ahhhh memories....A very close second would have to be Tonights The Night...And then the rest, because really....To exclude any of these fine tunes from the top 3 would be, in the words of Homer (Simpson, not the Greek dude who wrote the Illiad) Sacrelicious.





Alright Now
