| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Martykl-Your correct! "Magic" peaked at #5 in 1975. Pilot never had another Top 40 Billboard hit. Loomisjohnson- If I was to include 1 R&B song(in my Top 10) "Be Thankful" would be at the top of my list(the LP version is killer)! | |
| Songs that trigger you to switch the station or... "Stairway To Heaven" are you sure your a music lover? "Smells Like Teen Spirit"! The silly lyrics/poor vocals-musicianship only scratch the surface(lol)! The music media "praise" is not only laughable it's downright sinful! | |
| The great Phil Woods has passed. Will find time to hear Floresta Canto this weekend to honor Mr. Phil Woods | |

| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Roxy54-Not a problem, appreciate your input! | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Donnie Iris-"Leah" peaked at #29(Billboard) in 1980. "Love is Like a Rock" hit #37 in 1981. Dobie Grey had a 1965 #13 hit "The In-Crowd" and another Top 40 song "You Can Do It" in 1979. FWIW- "Black Betty" does qualify as a true 1970's 1-hit wonder. | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Bdp24-Great post. I would like to add and simplify, regarding your comments. Dylan and the Beatles created/influenced the singer songwriter genre. The Kinks/Steppenwolf/Blue Cheer helped create "arena rock". The Who/The Doors/The Animals/Pink Floy... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? "Drift Away" and "Black Betty" are good choices but(IMO) don't enter my top ten. Gerry Rafferty had a mega #2 Billboard hit "Baker Street" in case you forgot? "Feelings" not a bad choice(don't like song)but have no problem with it being a top ten ... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Whatthe-IMO a major issue with Springsteen is his (outdated?) blue-collar marketing image which some still put to much emphasis on. A mega millionaire is still capable of writing great songs about the down and out. | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... The River might be the equal of Born To Run? Point Blank is one of his best! | |
| Songs that Inspire or Move you Too many to list! Here are 2 songs that I just recently "spun" that are completely at opposite ends of the spectrum.Don McLean-The GraveChuck Mangione-Land of Make Believe(Esther Satterfield) | |
| Snobbiest audio websites Believe it or not IMO the snob factor is disappearing in HEA. In the past 5 years after the great recession(2007-10) the mega-buck guys(100k+ systems) that remain are in HEA more for the music then bragging rights. To answer the question... I woul... | |
| Clayton Audio - Alive and very well Audiobrian-Thx for the info! The S40/S100 is now on a short list of possible amp upgrades. | |
| Clayton Audio - Alive and very well I have always considered Clayton Audio(heard a S40 many years ago) as a great left field option. But there have been numerous reports(not everyone lies) about a very audible transformer hum. I hope this issue has been resolved so Clayton Audio can... | |
| looking for a new cd player........ Zd1542-There are some nice sounding Sony ES units from the mid 90's - early 2000's too many models(to long ago) for me to be specific. With a budget of $500 the options for a true hi-end player are very limited. I have NOT heard the Rotel 1072 it ... |
