Gotta be Daddy Cool. Love Boney M.
One of my faves of '76 was a cover of the Stones classic 'Tell Me' by a group called Airlift.

1976 was probably my favorite year, but looking at this list reminded me how much it sucked for music on the radio. There was good stuff out there...but you didn't hear it on the top-forty stations.

One song that did sneak into the British Top 40 that year was 'Anarchy In The UK' by The Sex Pistols...
However, that was never gonna get airplay and even then, as soon as it charted, EMI deleted the single and dropped the band! Imagine that happening today!
It's reckoned that if this hadn't had happened, the single would have sailed effortlessly into the Top 5...

I agree, back in New York we listened to WLIR and WNEW where they would play concerts from the Capitol Theater, the Palladium, My Fathers Place and the Calderone Concert Hall; mostly Grateful Dead
