1. Hot Stuff - Donna Summer 4, much better form from Donna...disco, yes...but with an 'edge'...
2. Y.M.C.A. - Village People 4, memorable in both song and image...fine song, let down only by that silly dance that people seem to do to it nowadays...
3. My Life - Billy Joel 4, great song with clever lyric...if memory serves, the first record of his I ever bought...
4. Stumblin' In - Suzi Quatro & Chris Norman 5, do like this! Great stuff...
5. Disco Nights (Rock Freak) - GQ 3, huge club hit here but not chartwise...okay, but not spectacular...
6. Heartache Tonight - Eagles 4, good chugger...
7. Music Box Dancer (Instrumental) - Frank Mills 3, impossibly pretty piano piece...okay for what it is...
8. New York Groove - Ace Frehley 3, subtle clomper not quite as good as the original version by our glam band 'Hello' (several years previous...)
9. Shake It - Ian Matthews 4, a long way from Fairport Convention! Attractive radio-friendly piece...
10. The Logical Song - Supertramp 4, good one from them which threw them in the big league for a while...
11. Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits 5, ...speaking of being thrown in the big league...excellent song and performance, with points added for mentioning 'South London'!
12. The Devil Went Down To Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band 4, well-written and performed (check that fiddle!) song...
13. Sad Eyes - Robert John 4, sweet 'big' ballad which got a lot of airplay here, but didn't hit big...
14. Rise (Instrumental) - Herb Alpert 4, Herb goes disco (sort-of!)...smashing instrumental...
15. Knock On Wood - Amii Stewart 4, after the debacle that was Donna's 'MacArthur Park', you'd think this would get a thumbs-down...not so, this works extremely well...
16. Still - Commodores 4, lovely ballad...
17. Lonesome Loser - Little River Band 4, great song from a great band...not their best, but not far away...
Okay, big finish...
18. I Was Made For Lovin' You - KISS 5, terrific...!
19. September - Earth, Wind & Fire 5, ...as was this...!
20. Love Is The Answer - England Dan & John Ford Coley 5, ...and this! Great rousing ballad with superb chorus (Todd Rundgren involvement...need I say more?!!)
Well, there we are...two runs of 70's records completed...not sure if there'd be any left to rate after this! But, in any event, a great stroll down Memory Lane nonetheless...
Thanks, CF...!

19. September - Earth, Wind & Fire 2; I don't mind it in the Gap commercial, but I'd switch stations if I heard it on the radio.

It was just the comment you made, that if you heard it on the radio you'd switch stations...yet you'd listen to it in a Gap commercial. I don't get it.

Oh. Well, if the Gap commercial with that song (or any other commercial that featured that song) came on, I wouldn't purposely turn the station because the commercial is only on for 30 seconds and I could stand to listen to it for that short of time. But if I was listening to a radio station and that song came on, I would turn the station because I don't like the song and would not enjoy listening to it for three minutes and 35 seconds.
I don't know why I felt the need to justify my opinion of the song and any commercials it is featured in, since no opinion is wrong, but I just did. So there you go.
