Amie - Pure Prairie LeagueJFC, what a great list of songs…atta boy, Yella!

One Toke Over The Line - Brewer & Shipley
As I mentioned to @RaceBannon I felt the field for the 70's would trump the 80s or 90s in its vastness. Ergo, it felt necessary to split things out into sub genres.Fishpo31 said:JFC, what a great list of songs…atta boy, Yella!

One Toke Over The Line - Brewer & ShipleyOne Toke Over The Line always reminds me of @UW_Doog_Bot driving out to Burning Man or some other weirdo shit like that in the desert.

American Pie - Don McLeanTrue defenders of truth, justice and liberty know every word of American Pie by heart.
Commies.

American Pie - Don McLeanHate it now but it was the biggest hit of the 70s
-
One Toke Over The Line - Brewer & Shipley
Man, I fucking hate it. Exhibit A of song ruined by over play. Not Don's fault other that he couldn't write a bunch of other great hates to take the pressure off.RaceBannon said:Hate it now but it was the biggest hit of the 70s

American Pie - Don McLeanThis one should be a blowout.
-
I Can Help - Billy SwanMost of these songs are cringe worthy now but after the limited offerings of the 50's and early 60's [while radio stations were playing legendarily bad tunes such as "purple people eater" and tip toeing through the tulips" ] this kind of sound, as a holdover from previous era's, got massive airplay. For fun, this is a look at the top Billboard tunes in 1958.
Note that "Tequilla" comes in at number 8... here is the video...

Dave Mason - We Just DisagreeI thought Let it Flow was a well engineered album and sounded great on vinyl - I think it was one of the first albums I bought.

One Toke Over The Line - Brewer & Shipley
Can confirm. I bought it in the used bins a while back for like $3.00. Sounds great.booker14 said:I thought Let it Flow was a well engineered album and sounded great on vinyl - I think it was one of the first albums I bought.

Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal BandWell here is the rest of the list that I was trying to remember on the rock pole

Cat's In the Cradle - Harry ChapinI missed American Pie when I scanned the list. That’s my actual vote.
