I've never been a huge SD fan, and didn't own anything by them---then I heard this song on the radio last week for the first time in years, and loved it. Went out and bought the album that day

Allmusic has been generally good to us. I say let it stand.

 

[kentric]

After seeing the first and part of the second round, I've come to the conclusion that 1977 was not what would be viewed as a good year for music.

 

[amnesiac]

Aerosmith - Walk This Way

walk this way peaked in 77 at #10.billboard

yeah, if you don't like music.

there's a lot of picks left.

The Lawrence Welk thread is to the right.

I really like the lyrics in this song, and the groove of the song. Do you like the album?

 

[Real Man of Genius]

Anthem anyone?

2.07 Foreplay/Longtime - Boston Boston

I’ve got to keep on chasin’ that dream, though I may never find it

I’m always just behind it.

The album came out in '76, and only one song peaked in '77. This wasn't the song though.

 

[KillerNerd]

From these drafts I have come to the conclusions:

1. I need to listen to more music

2. I need to do more drugs

I say keep it - no need to split hairs.

The album came out in '76, and only one song peaked in '77. This wasn't the song though.

This song was released as a single in either very late 1976 or early 1977. It debuted on Cash Box's Singles Chart on January 22, 1977.It never hit Billboards Pop Singles chart.

 

[zamboni]

Either way is cool by me.

Is anyone going to around for most of the night, and can take a PM? I'm leaving work in a few and not sure how much I'll be online tonight

Slight weakness of allmusic -- if a single doesn't make the top 100 of a given Billboard chart, they won't list it.

True - although Wiki has it as hitting 22 on Billboard . Must be a Wiki error again?

 

[Real Man of Genius]

Just give me a ruling, I guess. The song debuted for me around 1992, so all I have to go by is the innernets.

Looks like you can have one or the other, but not the album version containing both . . .

This must be a case of allmusic missing an entry."Long Time" almost certainly charted on Billboard's Pop Singles chart. It rose to #12 on CashBox's chart. CashBox and Billboard differed some, but not so much that songs were charting high on one, and not at all the other.
