Have a Nice Decade: The 70s Pop Culture Box CD3 Poll

Tough to choose, but I went with "Frankenstein."

Extended Moog freakouts in a heavy-metal instrumental getting regular rotation on Detroit radio in the '70s and '80s? This blew my tender adolescent (and post-adolescent) mind. What a major WTF...

Sammy Davis, Jr. with The Mike Curb Congregation (1972): "The Candy Man"

Anyone else hear a similarity in this to Steely Dan's Reelin' in the Years? Both released in 1972 also.

Alone Again and Tie a Yellow Ribbon got something going too.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

53 votes, great job as always ILM!

"me and mrs. jones" was pretty huge in the us, my guess is it gets more airplay now than any of the other r&b tracks up there but it's probably very possible to be unfamiliar w/ it if you're young enough.

Well, I'm old enough to remember many of those songs when they were still on the charts! But many R&B hits of that era would appear to have gotten much less airplay here than in the USA, passed over in favour of middling Canadian performers, CanCon be praised. But "Mrs. Jones" WAS a big hit here, too; so...<shrugs>
