First up for once!
1. Got To Give It Up - Marvin Gaye 4 - smashing disco tune which I think was recorded live...I rate this as the radio version - sitting through 11 minutes of it on the LP is going a bit too far...
2. Serpentine Fire - Earth Wind & Fire 4 - one that Karen very kindly reminded me of not long ago on another thread...superb stuff...
3. Dreams - Fleetwood Mac 3 - truth be told, a bit on the so-so side compared to a lot of their stuff from this period...okay in its own little way...
4. Cold As Ice - Foreigner 4 - good, wholesome rock tune by the big-haired mob...this was recently ruined by someone (dance act, obviously!) who sampled the chorus and sped it up, making it sound like the Chipmunks...!
5. Blinded By The Light - Manfred Mann's Earth Band 4 - survivors from the previous decade hitting big with Springsteen...good performance...
6. Fly Like An Eagle - Steve Miller Band 4 - cool-sounding effort from the band...
7. Southern Nights - Glen Campbell 1 - quite possibly the worst thing he ever recorded...horrible vaudeville-type sound...
8. Heard It In A Love Song - Marshall Tucker Band ? (gasp!) - not at all familiar with this...I'll stand back and see what sort of rating it gets before attempting a download...!
9. Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt 2 - adds nothing to the Big O's original...
10. How Deep Is Your Love - Bee Gees 5 - textbook example of how a song should be written and performed...simple, yet heartfelt lyric and lush harmonies...beautiful!
11. Handy Man - James Taylor 2 - weak effort from the man...once again, adds nothing to the original...
12. Rich Girl - Hall & Oates 4 - another fine piece from the duo...overplayed just a bit, but no matter...
13. The Things We Do For Love - 10cc 3 - some good things from the band over the years, but this was a bit 'safe'...nice-enough radio-friendly number, though...
14. Year Of The Cat - Al Stewart 5 - I need say no more! Actually, I will...how on Earth did this piece of genius not even crack the UK Top 30??!! The answer's evaded me for years...!
15. It's So Easy - Linda Ronstadt 2 - extremely easy if all you're gonna do is raid the back catalogues, Linda...! Once again, adds nothing...(oh, you know it by now!)
16. Feels Like The First Time - Foreigner 4 - more no-nonsense stuff...as far as I'm aware, this hasn't been butchered...yet!
17. Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees 4 - almost defining the 'disco' era single-handed (even though it wasn't a 'disco' tune as such...) Any other band would have had immense trouble getting away with this...!
18. I'm In You - Peter Frampton 3 - another one of his that I was not really that taken with...pleasant enough...
19. So In To You - Atlanta Rhythm Section 4 - nice mellow number which I haven't heard a lot of these days...
20. Slip Slidin' Away - Paul Simon 3 - not his best...he sounds so relaxed it seems he's gonna nod off at any moment...!
Can't wait for '78, CF!

I couldn't agree more! I always thought "You Make Loving Fun" should have been their biggest hit off Rumours. :-/

This has been sampled?!!! I'm sure glad I haven't heard it! Let me tell you, you wouldn't want to be in the same room with me if this (sampled version) played over the radio!!! :o ;D

It's just something about that song... ugh. It's Steve Miller's worst. I can't explain it... I just... HATE IT!!
However, "Jet Airliner", "Abracadabra", etc. are very cool songs. 8)
