I'm glad you picked songs that are your favorites. The ones where he sounds like he is possessed by the devil sound a lot like some other songs people have shared/drafted in the past, so I know those songs have some fans out there.
I understand the love. My childhood crush was David Cassidy, and a Partridge Family song (or two) always make my road trip playlists.
that opening line were what prompted my Partridge Family comment regarding that song ... but, tbh, i loved Laurie, and i were a sucker for that gooey pop ... long time rumor it were actually the Cowsills backing Cassidy on them tracks - but there were a couple i really dug the livin' fudge outta.
did i mention Laurie?

The first album I ever bought with my own money was Up To Date by The Partridge Family. That was the first song on the album. 
) ... anyways, the iniitial go 'round batch had a crushed red felt front cover - i remember my dad (who knew industry folk) scored me one, and i ran Laurie's initials (and a heart) into it with me fingernail - quite the romantic, eh?
I remember The Partridge Family Album, and that was quite the romantic gesture you did with your fingernail. I remember Through the Past Darkly hits album too. Do you remember the Stones' Made in the Shade hits type album that came out in '75? The neighbor, Chuck, that taught me the dirty words was going to get tickets to see that tour at the coliseum, and he said he would get me one. His friends and sister were going. I asked my mom and she was all, "Absolutely not!"
nice!
do you remember "The Partidge Family Album"? i believe it were the first release, and had "I Think I Love You" and "Doesn't Somebody Wanna Be Loved" (Freddie bit that with Queen
fast forward a few years, and i were asking dad to score me "Billion Dollar Babies" by the Coop - he got it home for me, and was shaking it in me face "what is this garbage? 'RAPED N' FREEZING'??!? what kinda title is that? MARRONE! (pronounced 'mah-doan) WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY???!?"
ps - first platter with me own coin were "Through the Past Darkly" ... a Stones comp that came in an octagon shape cutout cover ... started my love for Jonesy ... inside the sleeve were a poem dedicated to him:
when this you see
remember me
and bear me in your mind
let all the world say what they may
speak of me as you find

Made in the Shade was a compilation/greatest hits album covering the early seventies output.I remember The Partridge Family Album, and that was quite the romantic gesture you did with your fingernail.

yeah, "MitS" were early '75 or so, no?
i believe it were released in the downtime between the last Taylor album and the arrival of Woody (Black n' Blue, which were summer of '75, iirc)
i may be off here, but i do recall the big deal were getting "Angie" and "Bisch" on the same album - also rumor that Angie Bowie were the lounging chick adorning the cover - ever heardt that one?
are there a Doc(oc) in the house?
I remember the rumor regarding Angie Bowie, but not the big deal about the two songs. I had that album on Vinyl, and my mother gave it away decades later to a woman that was a caretaker to my grandmother and her husband for a couple of years. I found out after my mom fired her. Some of my albums were being stored at my parents' house, and my mom gave all of my parents' albums to that woman plus some of mine. I should have never left them there, but I thought they were safe. Oh well.
I bought my first around the same time. My parents would not let me buy that one. I think I ended up buying New Kids on the Block’s Hangin’ Tough instead.
Interesting. I am probably more the opposite where can view the foreign language as more of the background easier. Similar to @krista4 , I’ve never looked up the translated lyrics for this one, as just appreciate the beauty regardless of the meaning.
Man, I remember that woman in the video.
That was a huge album … commercially. I’m sure it was an early purchase by many people of a certain age.One of the very first tapes I bought with my own money was Chicago 17
We’re really just letting each other down here Pip
They definitely made a very big shift around 16, or perhaps even a little earlier, Hard to Say...That was a huge album … commercially. I’m sure it was an early purchase by many people of a certain age.One of the very first tapes I bought with my own money was Chicago 17

Nothing from it is on my list, obviously.
Chicago’s ethos was always “no one will be promoted as an individual.” Then videos happened and Peter Cetera was the star of them. This caused a LOT of problems within the band and helped lead to his departure.Man, I remember that woman in the video.
Have to get around one of these days to start a long forgotten MTV video thread.
As I said in the band history stuff I posted before the countdown started, 16 was where things changed forever. They had a new label and a new producer (David Foster), both of whom insisted that the band had to do sappy stuff with horns downplayed or absent if they wanted hits. Thus the “crappy and sappy” era, as KP calls it.They definitely made a very big shift around 16, or perhaps even a little earlier, Hard to Say...That was a huge album … commercially.

I don't mind some of those tunes but your stuff is much more pure. I really like "Old Days"
You say that as if it were a bad thing.
It sounds very theatrical.
Oh nice catch, hadn’t even made that connection. I mean I should have- it’s right in the name of the song.Time Escaping - I was thinking this was starting off a little chaotic with the percussion and then thought that was sort of cool with the entropy reference in the lyrics.
Kiss Alive II for me, circa 1977.
You've had a huge variety of Daft Punk sounds so far. This one wasn't my jam, but a lot of them have been. It's been a fun playlist!
None as dreamy as Leif Garrett.

IIRC not so much after he got his friend paralyzed after a drinking/drug-fueled car accident. At least from what I remember from that Behind the Music episode.None as dreamy as Leif Garrett.
(which was yesterday).
Most of the rest of us here would have to say Miss Bliss. Or Zack’s mom.
ooooooooooo, weasel. You are a Detroitinian and look at how you spelled Bob's last name.
that they did the outro. 
Well, and Andy Gibb.
