My favourite Wings song is 'Coming Up'.

As for that chart, there's some amazingly good stuff in there and it's unbelievably diverse... Country Rock, Funk, Disco, Pop, Soft Rock etcetera... It's really, really sad how everything sounds the same these days. It's almost like there's only four genres which you can be successful in nowadays:

Pop;
Dance;
R'n'B;
Indie Rock.

I thought I wouldnt know much of this list but I'm older than I thought I was

I remeber seeing the clip 4 If you leave me now,sitting next 2 my parents...My dad loved it but he really loved Hall&Oates,Tavares,KC,Lou Rawls,EWF,BeeGees,and so I learned to like them to.

EWF are still one of my fav's and Lou Rawls!!What a voice!

Don't know the song from BLue Oyster Cult,never had a hit in Europe.

The top 40 from Billboard's Hot 100 for the week ending September 25, 1976. The good? The bad? The ugly?

It's a classic 70s rock track. It was famously parodied on SNL by this guy...


Needs more cowbell

But if you're on the other side of the pond, you probably don't know that reference either.

Two things:
1) I don't wanna do either
2) You pay too much attention to R Kelly lyrics.

If I counted correctly, In 1976 there were more groups and solo male artists in the top 40 and only THREE female solo artists: Linda Ronstadt, Diana Ross, and Olivia Newton John and ONE female group, Hear.

Today, 10 solo female artists (some featuring male rappers) and 2 female groups are in the top 40, which goes to show you that pop music is still male oriented.

#2 Fergie
#3 The Pussycat Dolls
#10 Nelly Furtado
#12, #31 Beyonce
#20 Cassie
#22 Ciara featuring Charmillionaire
#23 Christina Aguilera
#26 Danity Kane
#27 Cherish featuring Sean Young
#29 Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean
#35 Kelis featuring Too Short
#37 Janet & Nelly

R&B? R&B was kinda killed by hip hop on the popular music scene, so it's pretty gone.

TommyRoss said:

In current modern parlance, the generic term of "R&B" would also cover elements of Hip-Hop.

The Bad...

Play That Funky Music * Wild Cherry (just can't stand this tune)
A Fifth of Beethoven * Walter Murphy & The Big Apple Band
(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty * KC & The Sunshine Band
Disco Duck (Part 1) * Rick Dees & His Cast of Idiots
I Only Want to Be With You * Bay City Rollers

Yeah, I'm no fan of Play that Funky Music. In fact, I'd say it's one of my least favorite tunes; same goes for Disco Duck. You don't like the KC tune, huh? Are you that way with him in general, or just that one?

TommyRoss said:

I'm generally cool with KC. But that's one that just doesn't work for me.

Maybe one of my favorite tunes out of that TK camp is basically a KC & The Sunshine Band tune with a different vocalist...
