AT40 - This Week In 1973 (1 Viewer)

40. "Leaving Me" - The Independents

Not sure I recall this one, but there were so many good soul records coming out around this time. Sounds like a cross between The Chi Lites and the O Jays

 
39. "Space Oddity" - David Bowie

I was 11 when this countdown (hah!) happened, but I can remember not liking this record at all. I think it was the mannered singing Bowie did. I wanted everyone to sing "American" like Mark Farner :bag:

 
38. "I'm Doing Fine Now" - New York City

I loved this song so much when it came out. I'm sure more sophisticated folks hated it, but I was 11 and it has a great melody/vocal. As far as I know, this group never had another hit.

 
37. "Armed And Extremely Dangerous" - First Choice

This sound would ossify into "disco" quickly. Depending on your liking for what came later, this either sucks or is a fine pop record.

Proud to say my song phrasing is likely to be as posh as British Invasion was delta.

Lookin fwd to doin this one with you because May 1973 was my last month as a citizen, just a fan. The Pure Food & Drug Act/James Montgomery Band benefit concert i put together for Zero Population Growth @ White Stadium in Roxbury MA was the next month and launched my show bidness career and you just never look at music the same again after you been part o makin a show go. Fan me up w the good stuff, fam!

35. "Cherry Cherry" - Neil Diamond

This sounds like a live version. Neil's vamping.

Can't TELL you how much i hate this guy. Brought the same principles to popular music which run Corporate Country now. Albert Brooks, who opened for him, said Diamond's goal was to fly across the country playing his tunes and have people on the ground collecting $4.50 from every person in earshot

33. "Oh La De Da" - The Staples

Mavis is still cutting records and she still sounds good.

Lotta WABC music so far. In Boston we had one 50-watter for soul music and had to wait til sunset to listen to R&B in our cars. Our world truly changed when the sun went down....

 
31. "Pinball Wizard" - New Seekers

This may be the weirdest mash-up in rock history. A folk group covering a hard-rock song

32. "Thinking Of You" - Loggins & Messina

This one isn't bad, but what it birthed is

Ugh.....the "date" band. When i came home from running away, everybody had L&G's 1st record cuz they sold it for like $1.79 to launch the band. I didn't get it. Nice & all, but havin to take hot chicks so they could swoon over cute lil Kenny singing "Christopher Robin" was a total groan.............until all the chicks would get up to do the braless, twirly dance to "Vahevala" (Jimmy Buffett before Jimmy Buffett). That made it worth it.

30. "Right Thing To Do" - Carly Simon

Sexiest under-bite in rock history

I knew her & her sister, to say hi to anyways, from the Taylor-complex parties (seemed like it was ongoing - Liv's to Alex's to James's) on Maaaatha's Vinyid backinaday. Twice as stunning up close. Think she still has that house.

Get thee away Satan. Neil Diamond was a prince among gods right around 1973. Hot August Night is still one of the great live albums ever made. "Cherry Cherry" is one of about 2 dozen incredibly good pop songs by my man Neil (whom I am proud to say, I saw at the Aladdin Theater in Las Vegas on July 4, 1976. Awesome!)

Christ, I had the biggest crush on Carly. I hadn't even gone all the way through puberty yet, but that under-bite dropped me.

 
26. "Pillow Talk" - Sylvia

It's trash-pop, but look up Sylvia Robinson to see how important she was to rock history.

23. "Make Up To Break Up" - Stylistics

I'm on the Eddie Kendricks train as rock's best falsetto, but damned if Russell Tompkins doesn't make me want to re-think that.

What can someone even say? I think it's an ok ballad, but it's so ingrained into doctor's offices by this point......

Certainly not his best, but it's still a 100 times better than many of the ballads I hear today that make the top 40.

22. "Out Of The Question" - Gilbert O'Sullivan

This is just terrible. Kindergartners make up better songs every day.

followup to the regrettable "alone again". boy am i glad the story-song phase that McClean & Chapin started burnt out fast, cuz buttonpushin was a capital ##### when it was hot.

 
18. "Danny's Song" - Anne Murray

I'm trying HARD to think of a record I dislike more than this one. Coming up empty
