40. "Battle Hymn Of LT Kelly" - Terry Nelson

WTF? I don't remember this one at all, and I wish I hadn't heard it now. This is worse than the constant complaining in every thread about board moderation.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

39. "The Drum" - Bobby Sherman

Kill me now. Remember him in Here Come The Brides?

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

38. "Baby Let Me Kiss You" - King Floyd

James Brown knockoff, but - God knows - better than those last two.

Easy Come, Easy Go

37. "Booty Butt" - Ray Charles & His Orchestra

Another I don't recall. This has "junkie" written all over it, though.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

36. "Me & My Arrow" - Nilsson

Wasn't this more famous in an ad for shirts?

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

35. "Kool Aid" - Paul Humphrey?

This countdown is like a black hole for me. I don't remember this dude, either - or the record.

really not able to help you, buddy - did not have an address six months on either side of this countdown, so the car radios of rides was my only contact w Top 40 during this time. Your bottom five is as much a mystery to me as you

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

34. "Woodstock" - Matthew's Southern Comfort

Not a fan of any version of this song, but this one is at the bottom for me

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

33. "I'll Meet You Half Way" - The Partridge Family

Suck it, music snobs! It's got more energy than that last hippie snooze-fest

shows Bobby Sherman whatfer, too!

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

32. "Don't Knock My Love" - Wilson Pickett

Pickett was the vocal equivalent of a jackhammer. No range or finesse, but he'd beat you to the bottom.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

31. "Reach Out I'll Be There" - Diana Ross

Oof. Diana, don't cover Levi Stubbs - ever.

Ever.

that's better than no way.

Binky The Doormat · May 19, 2018

...and people wonder why album rock was so big then.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

30. "Treat Her Like A Lady" - Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose

FINALLY, we get a good pop song! Nothing else going on here other than good singers and players making a good record. That should be enough.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

29. "Give More Power To The People" - Chi-Lites

Zegras11 · May 19, 2018

So glad you are doing this. On a 2 hour road trip with in laws and this will certainly pass the time well.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

28. " One Toke Over The Line" - Brewer & Shipley

Lawrence Welk didn't understand

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

27. "Right On The Tip Of My Tongue" - Brenda & The Tabulations

It doesn't really fit a genre, it's just.....THERE. What a wonderful record!

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

26. "Toast & Marmalade" - Tin Tin

I just don't know what to say...... It was 1971, I guess?

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

25. "I Don't Know How To Love Him" - Helen Reddy

Yes, ladies and gents - it started right here. "I Am Woman" is right around the corner.

As a wee lad I misheard these lyrics as “one TOE over the line”. I recall my parents being slow to correct me on this.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

24. "Superstar" - Murray Head

This was probably a terrific couples’ skate choice at the roller rink back in the day.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

23. "Just My Imagination" - Temptations

A Mount Rushmore of falsetto ballads. Eddie Kendricks should be in every Hall Of Fame on this record alone.

Bruce Dickinson · May 19, 2018

Uruk-Hai said:
29. "Give More Power To The People" - Chi-Lites

Soul Train performance of this track

I dig it when group vocal acts play hot potato with the lead vocal.

Songs 22 to 1 on this countdown have a high bar to clear.

Astonishingly bad countdown until this classic suddenly pops up. Always enjoyed The Rolling Stones’ cover of this as well

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

22. "I Love You For All Seasons" - Fuzz

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

21. "We Can Work It Out" - Stevie Wonder

This record is a seismic shift for a few reasons:

It's the best Beatles' cover ever (& beats the original, IMO)

THIS is the one that got Stevie turned loose. Listen to him sing it - he's not doing his '60s voice on the verse (it's closer to his Voice Of God to come). You can hear hear #### like "I Wish" start right here

This is one helluva ride

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

20. "Another Day" - Paul

I always loved this song.

Oh ####. Temptations set the bar and Stevie cleared it.

Love how on this one Stevie slows the tempo of the keyboard between verses so everyone can catch their breath, then accelerates when it’s time for the next verse.

The One Night In Bangkok guy?

I never knew he had any other charted songs.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

19. "Timothy" - Buoys

I just can't even... THEY ATE TIMOTHY, y'all!!!!

This is a brilliant record for a lot of reasons. That "Hey!" in the background, along with your mentions and mine before.

Judas on the original JCS album

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

18. "I Don't Blame You At All" - Smokey & The Miracles

A minor hit for him, which means it's better-written than 99% of everything else ever written.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

17. "Here Comes The Sun" - Richie Havens

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

16. "What's Going On" - Marvin Gaye

Anyone who wants to say this is the best record ever, I can't mount a credible defense against.

for any of the younger people here that may not be familiar with this song.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

15. "Power To The People" - John Lennon

I think this is trash (listen to #16 above for real protest), but I guess I'm in the minority on that.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

14. "Sweet And Innocent" - Donny Osmond

Don't look this up. It's awful. I knew it when I was 10 and had no idea about anything. It's horrid.

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

13. "It Don't Come Easy" - Ringo

I LOVE this record

something so plastic about that Ono Band...

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

12. "Want Ads" - Honey Cone

Sassy funk like we don't have enough of these days

Uruk-Hai · May 19, 2018

11. "Love Her Madly" - Doors

I know hard core Doors' fans who hate this song. I like it and think it's one of their best.
