You must have missed that awful 1979 countdown I foisted upon this board a while back.

I remember that you posted it, and luckily don't remember any of it.  This is right up there.

3. "Miracles" - Jefferson Starship

My MOTHER liked this song when I played this album. Do you know how hurtful that was for me at 13?

(I also caught her playing my BTO albums when she wasn't looking)

2. "Calypso" - John Denver

Yep, more enviro-hippie mid-70s pap

One of the few decent Starship songs.

Fame is soooo embarrassed to be a part of this

I wasn't familiar with this number so I checked Youtube

 

The two backup singers could not be more disinterested if they tried.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Finally, some quality...

I had this on 45

I think we were treated to Convoy a week or two later, weren’t we?

Anyone else remember, Hey Shirley (This is Squirrly) which, I believe, came out the next year?

5. "Games People Play" - Spinners

Awesome group of singers and a ringer for a band. This was about as good as it got in the '70s

A real diamond in the rough for that year.
