    Never Been Any Reason - Head East
    Memories of football locker rooms, Craig under dash 8 track players, and drinking Rainier out of kegs in the woods…

    Got pretty fucked up in CDA circa 1982 with the bass player for Head East.

    There may have been Wallace hookers and blow involved. Checking with my attorney on the hookers and blow statute of limitations. Definitely big-haired bitches from Peabody's.

    Saw them at the Boone Street Barn, circa 82…L-O-L Peabody’s and big hair!

    Black Betty - Ram Jam
    It's fucking Ram Jam or burn it all down. A black work song thrown down by the dorkiest white fucks ever in the most hooky way possible is the shit of legend. This song couldn't even be made today without getting the entire record company cancelled. It's fucking epic.

    Black Betty - Ram Jam
    That's a tough list to pick from. I think I own the album for at least five and probably six of them. I'll go with Ram Jam because they are the most "one hit" to me because I know I've never heard anything else from them. And a salute to Peabody's - I used to own a bunch of their mugs but my last wife hated them and threw them out.

    I was pretty torn here. I wanted to go with Ram Jam, but All Right Now is just too much of the perfect song for its moment in time.

    I don't care if it's cliche and ruined by overplay. It basically spawned an entire style of radio friendly, catchy hard rock in a way that Zep, Cream, Sabbath had never attempted.

    What also love about this list is the prevalence of cowbell. The drummers today just don't know how to lay down some good cowbell.

    Good list but so many not on that list

    One Toke over the Line comes to mind
    Baker Street, Kung Ku Fighting, I am trying to list all the ones that drive me crazy as I drive around and my wife keeps changing to SiriusXM 70's on 7 - the name could be changed to One hit wonders of 70s

    Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum and/or Cat’s in the Cradle by Harry Chapin would get my vote over any you listed.

    I hate that song with a passion. I didn't want to come in opposite of the board chief but man, that song sucks. I see your point about it though.

    He has a point about Spirot In the Sky though doesn't he? I didn't see that on the list.

    Spirit in the Sky was released in Dec. 1969. I had it pegged to the 60s.

    Very funny comments and so true about what record companies would say now about the song today... do like the signature Riff and the music video is an epic cult classic that now that seems like a SNL skit now.

    I'm a retard and can't figure out if I got the quote function to work, but I agree on All Right Now. However, to me it seems like it's just Bad Company's first hit. But take that for what it's worth because I went through a Paul Rodgers phase and have all of the original Bad Co albums as well as Willie and the Poor Boys and The Firm's two albums.

    All Right Now is on my list of top ten greatest rock songs ever. Everything you want, Sex (quasi-rape) Drugs and Rock and Roll. Some good guitar crunch and one of the best vocalists ever

    Bad Company is a lost classic
