#1 SINGLE OF THE 1970's :

Imagine – John Lennon
(John Lennon)
Apple single #1840 US / #6009 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 10/23/1971 #3 / UK 11/01/1975 #6
As you can see there are some things that just have to outweigh my love for Debbie and Pat and that would have to be a peaceful ditty by a peaceful god known as John Lennon. “Imagine” is probably John’s most famous solo recording if not his most famous of all, the simple piano and the somewhat (for 1970) controversial lyrics, “Imagine there’s no Heaven/it’s easy if you try/ No Hell below us/ above us just sky…” For the religious of the world they probably thought John may be the anti-Christ but the fact is what causes most if not all wars is religion. It’s so frightening to think that faith in a higher being was something that would bring people together not tear them apart. Of course believing in God and letting regular old people run religion is where people get into trouble.


But John knows it’s not only religion and the belief in Heaven and Hell that causes people to fight, there’s also politics ripping up the world, “Imagine there’s no countries/ it isn’t hard to do/ Nothing to kill or die for…” In fact, John asks us to, “Imagine all the people living life in peace…” It isn’t hard to do, or is it? Like most of us, who would love for the world to come together and live as one we are called dreamers (if we’re lucky), “You may say that I’m a dreamer/ but I’m not the only one/ I hope someday you will join us/ and the world will live as one…” It’s a very harsh world where someone so sensitive and longing for a feeling of world unity would end up the victim of a ruthless bullet, and leave us at such a critical stage in his own life. Paul McCartney may have been the cute one and I’d never try to even imply Sir P’s contributions aren’t incredible, but I’ve always been in the John Lennon camp of the Beatles and with songs that can make you fill you with such thrilling beguilement as “Imagine” and that very song can have just as big of a punch over 30 years after its release shows what an incredible influence and talent John Lennon was. Imagine a world with no John, it’s very hard to do.

Well I hope you enjoyed our trip back to the days of shag carpets, disco and Tab that was the Top 100 Singles Of The 70's. Did it surprise you? Were you in agreement? Do you think I don't know sheatt about music? Let us know, I appreciate all feedback as long as it's full of praise. And you needn't worry that this is the last of those Top 100 According To Bradley's because we have others in the work including a look at singles of the 90's and the 60's not to mention the ones that will probably show up sooner including my somewhat eclectic look at films with the top 100 Movies According To Bradley and the Top 100 TV Shows According To Bradley - both of which I think you'll find quite amusing... but until that day we return tomorrow to some normally scheduled blogging including a few new Bubbatunes I whipped up while you've been reading these posts!

The Top 100 Of The 70's - THE TOP FIVE

THE TOP FIVE
After what seems likes months and months, we have finally made it into the top 5 singles of the entire decade in the 1970's and as I know you're just itching to find out what my warped little ears picked up on, here they are the top 5 Singles Of The 70's - According To Bradley:


#5 – Video Killed The Radio Star – The Buggles
(Downes/Horn/Wooley)
Island single #49114 US /
Chart Debut: US Pop 11/10/1979 #40 / UK 09/29/1979 #1
A song about the future, where the future was really only a few months away. Most people know this jumpy little synth track from the early days of MTV, but the song was actually released and a hit two summers before MTV ever even debuted, it’s just that some genius thought of “Video Killed The Radio Star” as the perfect first video to be played on a new medium they hoped would take over radio programming. The boys at MTV got their wish but there was a time when no one thought it would ever work. The song itself is a cool ditty full of metallic synths and overdubs telling the tale of radio star who just can’t get the praise in the video age she used to get in the days of radio. It’s almost creepy how in touch the Buggles seemed to be in determining how music would be shaped. But I’m sure it was just coincidence and they were just trying to make a catchy new wave song. They succeeded for sure because “Video Killed The Radio Star” has to be one of the most clever and memorable songs to come out of the new wave era. With the bee bop girls singing along behind the lead vocals and the different instrumentations and melodies coming in, it really ushered in the age of plastic, just as the title of the album it came from, had announced.

#4 – You’re The One That I Want – Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta
(John Farrar)
RSO single #891 US / #6 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 04/01/1978 #1 / UK 05/20/1978 #1
When I was but a wee tyke, my mommy took me out to the bar with her and it ended up being the very first time I ever took to the stage. Yes, I was a child protégé, can you even believe it? That night, there was a band playing and they asked the audience if anyone would like to come up and join them in a song, well of course this kid shouted and screamed to get up on stage. When they asked me what I wanted to sing all I could think of was “You’re The One That I Want” from the movie Grease. Actually it wasn’t that hard of a choice since I had already seen the movie about 8 times, having convinced every single relative that came within hearing distance, that I had yet to see the movie, so one by one they all took me to see the film. I instantly fell in love with Olivia and John and Stockard and well, the whole gang. I also ran out and had my mother buy me the soundtrack, on 8 track of course so I could hear it in the car. Anyhoos, the highlight of the film is of course Livvie coming out as “Sandy II” in her tight leather pants and red Candie heels, and as she snubs out her cigarette and kicks Travolta’s chest, the whole world goes wild, and they break into “You’re The One That I Want.” The song is interesting as it wasn’t part of the original Grease play, the song was once again written by John Farrar, Olivia’s main producer and writer, but to show how good and how loved the song is, it’s become synonymous with Grease and I’m sure anyone who put on the play post-film would be a fool not to include the song. I mean even the new reality show where they are trying to find a new Danny and Sandy to play on Broadway is called You’re The One That I Want. As for the reasons the song struck such a chord, I really believe it has a ton to do with the sweet lovable but push over that Olivia was at the time prior to her transformation into Sandy. She goes from sissy to sassy in two minutes and turns the tables on her man defending her actions as a way to make sure he can handle her for all that she is. The fact that John Travolta was huge at the time didn’t hurt either. “You’re The One That I Want” begins with that great John high pitched “I’ve got chills/ they’re multiplyin’/ and I’m looosin’ control…” and the combination of the piano and that jazzy bass beat pump the song through plus the speedy chorus is so catchy everyone sings along with it yet no one can sing it like those two, try it, and you end up sounding like you’re talking and not singing at all. I guess that’s just the talent of Miss O, as for my debut all those years ago, you can bet that little white haired boy nailed it. I mean I didn’t even sing it with someone else, I took a duet and made it all my own. I’m sure I seemed rather schyzo but still I was able to blow them away. I was great and even if I wasn’t, in my memory I remember it being a magical time and I’ll keep it that way forever .


and for a special treat to imagine what I may have looked like at the time I made my big debut here's a little pic to put it into perspective:

#3 – Heart Of Glass – Blondie
(Deborah Harry/Chris Stein)
Chrysalis single #2295 US / #2275 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 02/17/1979 #1 / UK 01/27/1979 #1


Like so many other people, “Heart Of Glass” was my first taste of Blondie music. I remember being up with my mom one late New Year’s Eve night and seeing Blondie perform the song. I fell in love instantly with Deborah Harry and when my mother informed me that my father liked her I was even more stoked. I thought maybe we’d finally bond over something. As it turns out, we didn’t bond but boy did I bond with Blondie. My aunt had the Parallel Lines album and informed me she had done some cheerleading routine to the song so I stole the album. Psst, don’t tell her. Later, some relatives of our neighbors had the album and were more than impressed to know that I knew every single song back and forth. As for the single itself, “Heart Of Glass” is so often miscast as the band’s disco single it used to drive me nuts. For the record even early renditions of the song was called “The Disco Song” by the band so I suppose it was what they were going for, but if you listen to the music itself, “Heart Of Glass” is so much more than a run of the mill disco song, in fact there’s more of a smooth new wave feel to it than something KC & The Sunshine Band would do. There are the winding synths, the tic tic of the keyboard and the drums, the guitar, and Debbie’s oh so cool passivity in her vocals. The song is one of their most famous and still plays in clubs from here to England. Of course it doesn’t hurt that there are about 100 different versions of the song available. The original single faded out right after Debbie’s fab line, “Once I had a love/ it was a gas/ soon turned out to be a pain in the ass…” but when some radio felt uncomfortable playing it, a second version was released with it fading out before the line, then of course there was the 5:50 ‘disco version’ that showed up on 12” and on most of the pressings of Parallel Lines; and from there it just got remixed and remixed. But it’s the original that stands up the best, I get a thrill from the intro and when Debbie’s bridge comes in you can’t help but sing along, “Lost inside adorable illusion/ and I can’t hide/ I’m the one you’re using/ please don’t push me aside/ we could’ve made a cruisin’ yeah” and the boys “na, na, na, na”’s are an excellent touch until we get to the part that everyone loves, the breakdown and the “oooh wahoh”. “Heart Of Glass” is so full of little things to make it awesome, it’s almost amazing there could be a group of people so talented they could put all of this together. “Heart Of Glass” is a classic single that has definitely stood the test of time.

#2 – Heartbreaker – Pat Benatar
(Gill/Wade)
Chrysalis single #2395
Chart Debut: US Pop 12/22/1979 #23
If all Pat Benatar had ever offered to us was “Heartbreaker” I would still be a die Benatar fan. From the moment the intense drumbeat begins you are taken into a whole new level of high-energy new wave rock. Then the voice comes in and there’s no turning back, “Your love is like a tidal wave/spinning over my head/ drowning me in your promises/ better left unsaid…” in that now familiar Benatar growl but then she goes up three octaves to give us a bridge, “You’re the right kind of sinner/ to release my inner fantasy/ the invincible winner/ and you know that you were born to be” before growling the chorus, “You’re a heartbreaker/ dream maker/ love taker/ don’t you mess around with me/ no, no, no!” and if you’re smart you wouldn’t mess with the little petite firecracker. After listening to song after song from the 70’s I knew Benatar’s first big single would hit high and to be perfectly honest it was just a hair from being our #1 single of the 70’s, that’s how much I love this song and how much I believe you should love it too. There wasn’t another rocker like Miss Benatar when she hit the scene – there were the hard rocking boys in endless bands, and there were women hitting the scene like my Debs, Chrissie Hynde, Heart and Patti Smith but Pat had more of a gleam to her, she used a boy’s use of sexiness to get her gut wrenched messages across. Not as centerfold in looks in Debbie and not as lyrical as the Blondies, nor as political as Patti or Chrissie or even as hard rock as the Wilson sisters, Pat blended pop and rock with banging guitars on this single being meshed together by a new wave production done by Mike Chapman’s right hand band Peter Coleman. “Heartbreaker” bashes through the supposed prejudice that women can’t rock like men, Pat reestablishes the first verse with the second and then there’s a guitar solo and the drums come pounding back with Pat’s intense bridge only for all the music to fall away and an accapella rendering of the chorus which sounds amazing turned up to almost full volume. The music comes back and as Pat winds up the chorus, her soon to be husband Neil Geraldo creates one of the best guitar solos (almost 30 more seconds of the song) of the entire decade. Of course, the most thrilling part of it all is that voice, you never heard a woman sing like that behind those incredibly hard rock sounds. In fact the radio stations didn’t want to play the song at first as they felt it was too hard of a sound. It would take over 3 months to even move into the top 40 in March of 1980 but would eventually reach the lower 20’s and help put Pat Benatar on the map. Of all of her wonderfully crafted and exciting singles nothing punches like “Heartbreaker”, and the song and its album In The Heat Of The Night made a life time fan out of this little blonde, and that’s why it made it all the way to our number 2 spot. I couldn’t live without this song in my life.

On a side note I don’t think it hurt any that Pat looks smokin’ hot on the record jacket, in the UK, where the song didn’t chart or sell I blame completely on the record jacket issued, I mean it’s just downright goofy.

and just to keep things a little on the edge, before we get to the very best single of the 1970's let me give you a little trivia about our list... I love this stuff, even if you don't...

1. Completely coincidentally but so wonderful is the fact that every single year of the 70's has been represented in our list of the top 100. Being a child of the 80's it's probably not terribly surprising that the year with the most entries is 1979, with a total of 25 singles, including 5 of our top 10; 1979 is followed by 1978 (23), a tie between 1977 & 1976 (11), 1970 has 8 singles, 5 singles are a tie between 1971 and 1974 and there are 4 singles from 1972x1973 and 1975, so it looks like a fairly good representation.

2. Blondie (of course) has the most singles entries in our list with 7, followed by Fleetwood Mac with 4 singles, and then third place finds a tie between Donna Summer & Olivia Newton-John each with 3 hits, and the total number of artists with double entries is 11 - Linda Ronstadt, Barry Manilow, Melanie, Billy Joel, Patti Smith Group, Aerosmith, Queen, ABBA, Bee Gees, Carly Simon and our #2 entry winner Pat Benatar, but should you feel that's a lot of songs by repeated artists there are still 61 songs that are by artists with only one entry.

3. Producer Mike Chapman produced the most singles on our countdown with 6 but since he did produce 4 of Blondie's 7 that's not a big surprise but he also produced Benatar's "If You Think You Know How To Love Me" (#34), The Knack's "My Sharona" (#13), Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz" (#9) and Nick Gilder's "Hot Child In The City".

4. It's not surprising considering the size and period of time they were in business but Columbia Records has the most chart entries with 11 including Elvis Costello, Billy Joel & Boomtown Rats on their roster. And because of Blondie's prominence on the chart the record label with the second most entries goes to Chrysalis Records but they also had Pat Benatar, Nick Gilder, and Claudja Barry; and the third is another big sized company Capitol Records with 7 entries including Anne Murray, The Knack and Sweet.

now stay tuned for the #1 Single Of The 1970's According To Bradley

Labels: 70s, Blondie, Grease, In The Heat Of The Night, John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, Pat Benatar, Retro songs, The Buggles

Top 100 Singles Of The 70's - 10-6

THE TOP 10!
10-6
We have done it, we have gone through 90 songs from that decade of decadence the 70's; and here we are in the top 10 - the ten best reasons to love music from the 70's - according to me.


#10 – I Don’t Like Mondays – Boomtown Rats
(Bob Geldof)
Columbia single #11117 US / Ensign #30 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 02/02/1980 #73 / UK 07/21/1979 #1
With “I Don’t Like Mondays” we end up with a story song that doesn’t really tell a story per se but is based upon a true story - a tragic true story if ever there was one. Long before Columbine which found disgruntled students shooting and killing their fellow classmates, On January 29th, 1979, the first day of school after Christmas break, 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer opened fire on kids arriving at Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego from her house across the street, killing two men and wounding eight students and a police officer. Principal Burton Wragg was attempting to rescue children in the line of fire when he was shot and killed, and custodian Mike Suchar was slain attempting to aid Wragg. The girl used a rifle her father had given her as a Christmas gift. As to what impelled her into this form of murderous madness, she told a reporter, ''I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day.'' The "Mondays" comment was not the only eyebrow-raising declaration to issue from Spencer that day. According to a report written by the police negotiators who spoke with her during the six-hour standoff, she made such comments to them as ''There was no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun''; ''It was just like shooting ducks in a pond''; and ''[the children ] looked like a herd of cows standing around, it was really easy pickings.'' The stand off eventually ended after 6 ½ hours with Brenda surrendering and she is still in prison, but the story doesn’t end there. Instead Bob Geldof wrote this keyboard laced cry about the girl, “The silicone chip inside her head gets switched to overload/ and no one’s gonna go to school today/ she’s gonna make them stay at home/ and Daddy doesn’t understand it/ he always said she was good as gold/ and he can see no reason/ casue there is no reason/ what reason do you need to know..” before a choir type vocal comes in for the chorus, “Tell me why!” and Bob’s answer, “I Don’t Like Mondays” “Tell Me Why!” “I Don’t Like Mondays/I wanna shoot/ oooh / the whole day down.” Intense subject matter for a song, and no doubt what the song is talking about, in fact it was banned in the US long before 2 Live Crew ever got that major distincition. By the early days of 1980 however, the song was being played on some radio stations and eventually cracked our top 100 but in the UK it was released in the summer of ’79, less than 6 months after the actual shooting and Brenda Spencer didn’t even go to trial until early October. The really strange thing about it all is the song is very catchy and sing songy. I love singing it and for some reason the subject matter doesn’t terrify me as I belt out the song. But isn’t art supposed to have a grain of truth and some actual substance and meaning behind it? For that “I Don’t Like Mondays” should be an automatic Best of in just about any music list.

#9 – Ballroom Blitz – Sweet
(Mike Chapman/Nicky Chinn)
Capitol single #4055 US / RCA single #2403 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 06/14/1975 #5 / UK 09/22/1973 #2
I love me some high energy and Sweet certainly delivers that on “Ballroom Blitz”. Sure it’s a tad cheesy, it’s also a tad over the top but it is also a heaping help of fun. I love singing this song because of the different voices you get to use. The song begins with a crazed shout out to band mates before going slightly calm in the lyrics and then taking off again for the bridge before the awesome, “yeah/yeah/yeah” leads us to the rapid fire chorus, “And the man in the back said ‘everyone attack’/ and it turned into a ballroom blitz/ and the girl corner said ‘boy I wanna warn ya/ it’ll turn into a ballroom blitz” and then there’s the awesome drum breakdown in the middle that always gets me. I’ve been meaning to do a cover of this song for years and perhaps someday I’ll get to it, but for now I just bring the energy levels of Karaoke night up a few notches.

#8 – Hot Child In The City – Nick Gilder
(Nick Gilder/James McCulloch)
Chrysalis single #2226
Chart Debut: US Pop 06/10/1978 #1
“Hot Child In The City” was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid, though I always thought it was a woman singing. Of course all I could ever remember was the chorus so for all I knew it could’ve been a woman. As it turns out, Nick Gilder is not a girl but a slightly high voiced male who performed awesome new wave rock songs usually about sex. Nick was originally the singer of the band Sweeney Todd until he went off on his own. “Hot Child In The City” comes from his second album, 1978’s City Nights. The whole song is a huge homage to some seductive teenage runaway ruling the streets of the city. I love the imagery as I wanted to be that slutty teen running along the streets of Los Angeles. “Danger in the shape of something wild/ stranger dressed in black/ she’s a hungry child..” replace she with he and I tell you this was me! In recent years I’ve been able to get most of Nick’s great Chrysalis Records releases all of which contain some form of city slick teens running wild and sharing their sex, and I love every single one of them. Another killer track of his titled “Rated X” would end up on Pat Benatar’s debut album In The Heat Of The Night, another record full of stylistic seductiveness and Nick would also go on to write for others including “The Warrior” by Scandal, but “Hot Child In The City” is his most famous song and his one and only single to make it into the top 40 which if you ever heard “Here Comes The Night” proves to be a real shame.


#7 – Dreaming – Blondie
(Deborah Harry/ Chris Stein)
Chrysalis single #2379 US / #2350 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 09/29/1979 #27 / UK 09/29/1979 #2
Blondie drummer Clem Burke has claimed “Dreaming” was just one long giant drum roll and in some aspects he may be right. The song starts with his drumming before the guitars and keyboards come in and the fact that the whole 3 minute song is one smashing drum hit after another makes it pack a whole hella punch. Of course it’s Blondie so every little musical aspect borders on genius, from that punching drum, to Jimmy’s too cool for the real world keyboards, Nigel’s bass and Chris and Frank etching out the guitar work, and of course not only do we get Debbie’s icy cool vocals but we also get her ambiguous lyrical workout. I love songs that talk of reflective dreaming, the type that walk you through how your dreams can come true, or even how daydreaming the day away can make your whole life seem a lot better. Debbie does a fantastic job with “Dreaming” by taking a lyric that could easily have played in a ballad and putting it into a jaugernat of a rock song. “When I met you in the restaurant/you could tell I was no debuante/ you asked me what’s my pleasure/ a movie or a measure/ I’ll have a cup of tea/ and tell you of my dreaming/ dreaming is free…” Oh Debbie, how your sometimes incoherent ramblings can turn the world on its ear, I’m not sure what a measure is, and Debbie probably doesn’t know anymore either but it makes for a very interesting line, and when we go to our next verse we get even more brilliant yet random thoughts, “I don’t want to live on charity/ pleasure’s real or is it fantasy/ reel to reel is living rarity/ people stop and stare at me/ we just walk on by/ we just keep on dreaming…” I love that line. Then Clem goes into hyper drive and the song shifts gears a bit, “Beep/beep/ walking a two mile/ meet/ meet/ meet me at the turstile/ never met him/ I’ll never forget him/ dream/ dream/ even for a little while/ dream/ dream/ filling up an idle hour/ fade away/ oooh / radiaaaaaaattee..” Which I always thought was such a cool line because well fade away, radiate is just an awesome line but it’s also a song from Blondie’s previous album so it’s kind of like a shout out to themselves. The song goes back to its original beat for our final and favorite verse, “I sit by and watch the traffic go/ I sit by and watch the river flow/ Imagine something of your very own/ something you can have and hold/ I’d build a road in gold/ just to have some dreaming…” and after Debbie informs us a few more times that Dreaming is free, we fade out with Jimmy’s keyboards coming up and taking over. A clever and classic little single of daydreaming, ethereal images, awesome musicianship and cooler than cool lyrics,“Dreaming” would hit #2 in the UK but only scored in the top 30 here, I guess we were too busy dreaming to pay attention to the brilliance.


#6 – You’re So Vain – Carly Simon
(Carly Simon)
Elektra single #45824 US / #12077 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 12/02/1972 #1 / UK 12/16/1972 #3
In the past few months I have discovered that Carly Simon kicks ass. Perhaps not in the leather clad Joan Jett style but in a very real way nonetheless. After hearing a ton of her early albums and the chances she takes in both lyrics and music styles, she has now made me a life long fan, and it only took about 23 years to catch up. One song that didn’t need any reintroduction to the Carly canon is our #6 single “You’re So Vain.” The single is a song that is so famous it has its own urban legend. Of course perhaps it’s the urban legend that has made the single last so long in our concioussness. For all purposes, “You’re So Vain” is a piss off to someone from Carly and when it came out who exactly that someone was had everyone’s mind buzzin. Was it Carly’s boyfriend soon to be husband James Taylor that she was singing about? Was it Mick Jagger who sings a very audible appearance on the back up? Was it Warren Beatty who had dated our girl for a while? The question has never been answered and Carly liked it that way, stating in a not too long ago interview that if she told who it was about then the whole mystique of the song may be taken away. Finally, after over 30 years of prodding she did a fairly interesting thing by auctioning off to a high bidder who the song was really about. The deal was she would whisper in the winner’s ear who she wrote about and then perform the song for them. Of course they had to sign wavers as to not repeat the information. So some guy won and she did perform him and now there are at least two people who know who the real scheister is. As for us momo’s who can’t win auctions or have the ability to whip Carly into a corner at an exclusive party, we are left just imagining who she is singing about. But thanks to the power of the lyrics we could put just about anyone in the song, the theme that the person is a bastard in the night who is so vain he may actually think we’re singing about him can be fairly universal.
Perhaps it’s the appeal of the attitude behind the song that makes it so great. I know that it surely doesn’t hurt that Carly has a pretty cool reserve about her in her vocal performance and her lyrics are always three notches higher than the normal intellect, I mean just look at her rhymes, “You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht/ your hat strategically dipped below one eye/ your scarf it was apricot/ you had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte/ and all the girls were dreaming that you’d be their partner…” Who writes like that? I tell you who, Carly Simon. A woman who would seem above reproach to the lowlies who didn’t grow up in Manhattan or vacation in the Hamptons, but with her willingness to let us into her very personal feelings, she never seemed the hardened upper crust New Englander, instead she came off very folky, very mature, and very sexy. Add to the mix with that filtering bravado of a guitar at the beginning, her refrain about her dreams being clouds in her coffee and Mick Jagger’s incredible backing vocal and you have a song that will last long after Carly’s unable to even remember who she wrote the song about.

And so you have the first batch of our top 10 singles of the 70's - I hope I'm not terribly disappointing all of you with my somewhat prejudiced and eclectic tastes but these really are the songs I listen to over and over and deserve to be in the top 10 according to Bradley - oh and because I'm such a trivia buff here's a little trivia about our latest list - 3 of the 5 songs are produced by Mike Chapman, I know strange huh? And completely coincidental - Mike produced some of the best music ever from the 70's on up and on this list he produced and co-wrote Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz", and produced the Nick Gilder single "Hot Child In The City" and pretty much reinvented Blondie with his produced albums including Parallel Lines which has a few singles on our countdown and today's "Dreaming" which is from the Chapman produced Eat To The Beat album - okay, until next time when we have that long awaited post which will give you not only the top 5 singles of the 70's but the very best - the #1 single of the 70's - According to Bradley.

Top 100 Singles Of The 70's - 20-16

The Top 100 Singles Of The 70's - According To Bradley
#20-16
Welcome back to the world of yellow, gold and avacado green polka dotted bliss - the 70's - a decade that gave us so many things from the Ford Maverick to the Brady Bunch, and plenty of tunes to listen to including our next batch of the top 70's singles - according to yours truly - the bradley of bradley's buzz.. so let's get on with it man...

#20 – Magic Man – Heart
(Ann & Nancy Wilson)
Mushroom single #7011 US / Arista single #71 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 07/16/1976 #9
Ann Wilson can sing the paint right off of a house, her energy is incredible and even on their first album the Wilson sisters, with Ann in the front on vocals and Nancy sliding her guitar, were an incredible force. The single “Magic Man” is just one of the many reasons the band deserves a lot more recognition than I think they get. The grinding rock and seduction of Ann’s vocals draws you in from that very first note. Add in the somewhat mystical Stevie Nicks-ish lyrics a classic is born. “Come on home girl, Mama cried on the phone/ too soon to lose my baby and my girl should be at home/oh try to understand/ try to understand/ try, try, try to understand/ he’s a magic man, mama…” I understand it, I have a magic man myself. The song always reminds me of an old pal of mine named Angie Rachenback (the last name was massacered in spelling to protect the innocent) who had this crazed relationship with her man JB and she always felt this was their song.. god I miss those people.

#19 – Paradise By The Dashboard Light – Meat Loaf
(Jim Steinman)
Cleveland International single #50588 US / CBS single #6673 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 08/12/1978 #39
“Paradise By The Dashboard Light” is an 8 minute opus of raw sex, losing your virginity and teenage boy’s lust dreams – you know rock and roll. Originally conceived as a stage rock opera the Bat Out Of Hell concept by writer Jim Steinman is one that has lasted through out the years. When the team of Steinman and singer Meat Loaf finally secured a record deal in early ’77, no one could’ve been prepared for the storm that followed it. One of the biggest selling albums of all time, Bat Out Of Hell, is actually a very riveting album even all these years later. Of course the single found here is one of those enduring reasons, Meat Loaf’s huge voice beckoning to his girl to do it in the car while Ellen Foley’s breathy sexiness and attitude come in wondering if he’s going to love her forever should she give in. After all the foreplay, fooling around and of course lying, our hero gets the girl while we get a play by play action by a sportscaster then as things are over and done we get the realization that the sexual couple are now linked forever much to Meat’s dismay. A brilliant opus of real life set to a bombastic rock melody that changes into three different songs. Say what you want about the overplayed song but there is a reason it has been so permanently imprinted into our rock and roll minds.

#18 – Time For Me To Fly – REO Speedwagon
(Kevin Cronin)
Epic single #50582 US only
Chart Debut: US Pop 07/22/1978 #56
I love this song. I can’t tell you how loud I start signing it whenever I hear it, and I’m not exactly why the lyrics have attached themselves to permanently into my mind, but it constantly pops up, “I’ve been around for you/ been up and down for you/ but I just can’t get any relief/ I swallowed my pride for you/ lived and lied for you/ but you still make me feel like a thief/ you’ve got me stealing your love away/ cause you never give it…” I tell you I sing it with so much conviction you’d think I actually had been treated this way. A perfect break up/ kick em to the curb song, “Time For Me To Fly” flows effortlessly with great guitar strums and Kevin Cronin’s impassioned vocals, even Dolly Parton’s honky tonk blue grass version of it from her 1989 White Limozeen album couldn’t take away the guts found in the verses.

#17 – A Little More Love – Olivia Newton-John
(John Farrar)
MCA single #40975 US / EMI single #2879 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 11/25/1978 #3 / UK 12/16/1978 #4
After Grease, our Olivia held onto those tight leather pants and created a whole new image for herself, one of a hot, blonde rock chick who could take a pop single and add sexiness to it while still staying somewhat middle of the road sweet. Her 1978 album Totally Hot and it’s cover said all it needed to but a make over and the success of Grease didn’t necessarily guarantee a huge new career and that’s where the songs had to come in. Luckily, her main songwriter and producer John Farrar was on the same wavelength as Livvie and they created a slew of rocking little pop songs including the guitar laced “A Little More Love.”

The song opens with a rocky little pop guitar hook, “Night is draggin’ her feet” and a guitar kick up comes in, “I wait alone in the heat”, and Olivia’s sexiness begins to shine through, “I know/ know that you’ll have your way/ til you have to go home/ ‘No’s a word I can’t say…” and the song shifts into a catchy pop beat, “Cause it gets me nowhere to tell you ‘no’/ and it gets me nowhere to make you go” before shifting into the real part of the chorus and Livvie’s vocals go higher, “Will a little more love make you start dependin’?/ will a little more love bring a happy ending?/ will a little more love make it right?/ will a little more love make it right?” and of course she throws in some of those off the charts Livvie screeches I so adore, and we end up with a perfect single to introduce the new and improved post-Grease Olivia Newton-John.

#16 – One Way Or Another – Blondie
(Deborah Harry/Nigel Harrison)
Chrysalis single #2336 US only
Chart Debut: US Pop 06/02/1979 #24
Blondie’s final US single from their third album Parallel Lines, “One Way Or Another” is the ultimate stalker song, Debbie grunted through this three and a half minute rock fest, and though it’s been used in endless commercials, the single itself is still a worthy piece of 70’s gloriousness. “One Way Or Another I’m gonna getcha/ getcha/ getcha…” begins the catchy verse before moving into a darker melody and the actual stalking parts, “I will drive past your house/ and if the lights are all down/ I’ll see who’s arouuuwwwwnd…” I love singing this song in karaoke because of the different parts and just the whole nastiness of it all. Of course it turns even cooler when the end of the song turns the whole thing around with Debbie’s interest in her prey completely over with, “One way or another I’m gonna lose you/ I’ll trick ya/ I’ll trick ya…” and once again the song changes melody only this time it turns into a marching band of craziness, “I’ll walk down the mall/ stand over by the wall/ where I can see it all/ I’ll find out who you call/ lead you to the supermarket/ checkout some specials and rat food/ get lost in the crowd…” and the song fades out with Debbie’s voice alternating lines in each speaker. “One Way Or Another” is a masterpiece in musicianship, vocals and Mike Chapman’s superb production. It’s still one of the highlights on the 1978 Parallel Lines album that finally put Blondie into the mainstream.

and there you have it, only 5 more until we hit the top 10 singles of the 70's and if you're like me, you're just twittering in anticipation...

and we're back for more fun and games...and we have some doozies for you today - from a couple of schtick mongers, a new wave band of Boston fun, some repeat offenders and a classic from a big time heartbreaker.... so let's get our groove on!




#25 – Just What I Needed – The Cars
(Ric Ocasek)
Elektra single #45491 US/ #12312 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 06/17/1978 #27 / UK 02/17/1979 #17
I always forget about the Cars. I’m not sure why but when I come up with lists or just want to hear some great new wavey type of tunes I somehow forget about the Ric Ocasek led band. But once I recall I own hteir CDs and pop them into the stereo I’m a huge fan.it was hard to pick out one single from the band that released so many good ones in the 70’s but after listening and re-listening to songs and making my little blue highlights, it always came down to “Just When I Needed.” “I don’t mind you coming here wasting all my time, time/ cause when you’re standing oh so near/ I kind of lose my mind, yeah…” how great of a line is that? Perfect lyrics with the perfect late 70’s new wave sound, this is a classic and from now on I will remember The Cars. In fact, I may be brewing up a Bubbatunes compilation in the near future.

#35 – Can’t Smile Without You – Barry Manilow
(Chris Arnold/ David Martin/ Geoff Morrow)
Arista single #305 US / #176 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 02/04/1978 #3 / UK 05/06/1978 #43
Don’t you laugh at me! All you have to do is hear the opening whistle on Barry’s “Can’t Smile Without You” and I dare you to turn it off. Well maybe you would still turn it off but I’m telling you, you would regret it. I always liked Barry just a little bit but when this song was used in the film Unconditional Love with Kathy Bates and Rupert Everett and even Barry showed up in the film, I was hooked all over again. It’s the perfect little pop song for the Manilow man, it’s silly sweet and so damn catchy you just can’t shake it.


#34 – If You Think You Know How To Love Me – Pat Benatar
(Nicky Chinn/Mike Chapman)
Chrysalis single #2373
Released September 1979 - Not charted
You didn’t really think I could forget about my Patti did you? Pat’s first album In The Heat Of The Night wasn’t released until October so her number of 70’s singles is of course pretty narrow. “If You Think You Know How To Love Me” was the first cross world single released from the album. A steamy and seductive mid tempo rock song, it had been a hit a few years before for the band Smokie. Pat’s version however is so much better. Not only is it Pat which just makes it 100% better than anything, but it is also a lot more rocking. Maybe not rocking in the sense of hard metal heaviness, but the guitar churning through out it and the cymbals banging on every third note of the chorus is a pretty intense listen. The best thing about the song is the atmosphere, you feel the lyrics as Pat punches through them and you see the imagery as if you’re there with the Benatar; “A reckless night in a nameless town/ and we moved out of sight with a silent sound/ a beach that wept with deserted waves/ that’s where we slept knowing we’d be safe…” and her point of defiance, “now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me/ but there’s a lot I’ve learned and a lot that I’ve yet to see…” but she eventually takes down her guard long enough to give out the ultimate challenge, “If you think you know how to love me/ and you think you know what I need/ and if you really really want me to stay/ you’ve got to lead the way/ yes, if you think you know how to love me/ and you think you can stand by me/ and if you really, really want me to stay/ you’ve got to lead the way.” The single didn’t do anything chart wise but it was a seductive opener to what was to become the hottest rock chick of the 80’s.


#33 – I Was Made For Dancin’ – Leif Garrett
(Lloyd)
Scotti Bros single #403 US / #11202 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 11/11/1978 #10 / UK 01/20/1979 #4
One more little ditty I never expected to find on my list and definitely not scoring so high but here’s the gist kids, so sit back. When I decided to make this list I hit the internet and record stores high and low finding every 70’s song I knew but didn’t have. After a successful trip I found Leif Garrett’s “I Was Made For Dancin’” on a 70’s comp. I thought if anything at least that will be a nice jaunt through the cheesiness that was the 70’s version of American Idol. What I didn’t know is how good the song actually was going to be. Combining the ultimate in 70’s music, the pop and disco beats so prevelant, the song chugs along at a fast and furious pace with the greatest production this side of an early Benatar album, “You’ve got me rollin’ like a wheel on the road/ round and round with no place to go/ I’ve got to find out if you’re feeling it too/ It’s hard to tell so here’s what I do/ and everytime I want more/ I’ll take you out on the floor…” begins Leif’s transgression to the top 10.

The chorus is a highlight, “I Was Made For Dancin’/ ah ah ah all night long…” I love it. I mean there’s even a bass driven breakdown in the middle of it. After I finally had all the songs I knew had a shot at being in the top 100 I made three mp3 discs of over 300 songs and then highlighted which ones got me jamming along, as that list dwindled this song just kept staying on the list. Finally when I was down to the top 100 I highlighted again, and anything in ‘blue’ were the ones I really really liked. The songs in which I found myself singing along with, bopping to and turning up. By now you can guess that crazy ass lunatic formerly known as Leif Garrett really got me dancin’ ah ah ah all night long.




#32 – I’ve Got The Music In Me – Kiki Dee Band
(Boshnall)
Rocket single #40293 US/ #12 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 09/14/1974 #12 / UK 09/07/1974 #19
Poor Kiki, one of the biggest mysteries in the world of music, she is best known for the Elton John duet “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” which she made two years AFTER this single, but after that it seems she just disapperared from the face of the Earth. It’s really too bad as she had quite an incredible little voice. “I’ve Got The Music In Me” is one of those songs that always popped into my head, kind of like “I’ve got rhythm/I’ve got style…” just something that would pop in the noggin’ if someone was doing something a little off kilter like singing or dancing horridly. Then I got the Captain & Tennille DVD and Toni performed this song. I discovered two things, one the lyrics to “I’ve Got The Music In Me” were really cool and I hated Toni Tennille’s accent and attitude. So I decided to track this ditty down and what do you know, Kiki’s version kicks ass. Not only is it a rocking song full of guitars and horns and her scratchy voice, it’s also not as cheesy or over the top as I had thought it would be. As I had figured, the lyrics are great, and the arrangement is perfect. Beginning with just a guitar, Kiki kicks in, “Ain’t got no trouble in my life/ no foolish dreams to make me cry/ I’m never frightened/ I never worry/ You know I always get by…” Yes, I know the story of my life huh? Then the song turns up a notch, “I heat up/ I cool down/ If something gets in my way/ I go ‘round it/ Won’t let life get me down/ I’m gonna take it the way that I found it” and the chorus “I’ve got the music in me” which is just repeated over and over but it’s pretty great. The arrangement changes repeatedly through out the song with a fake psych out about the ending, where you think it’s over only for the song to get kicked up again. And that voice of hers on here is so great. She didn’t sound like this on “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” I can tell you that much. Of course, it’s always the verses that really do it for me and they are filled with the idea that she always knows things will work out as she has the music in her, which I love. Who frickin’ knew?


#31 – Go Your Own Way – Fleetwood Mac
(Lindsay Buckingham)
Warner Bros single #8304 US / #16872 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 01/08/1977 #10 / UK 02/19/1977 #38
The 70’s version of Fleetwood Mac had the main songwriting duties shared by Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham. Of those three they seemed to all channel into their own personal ideals, Christine the hopeless romantic always writing songs of love and usually an upbeat message of some sort, Stevie, the eternal dreamer with her warped words of the occult and nuance, and Lindsay, the cynic, always the hot head waiting to unleash a lyrical hatred. I love him. I also love when I know what a song is really about and go back and hear the lyrics putting together the pieces of what was in the writer’s mind. The songs on Rumours are all about love being thrown away or breaking up and Lindsay’s are the most pissy, the highlight being the album track “The Chain”, but a very close follow up is one of the album’s first singles “Go Your Own Way.” A sort of attack on Stevie about their break up, “Loving you isn’t the right thing to do…” begins the lyric before the whirling Lindsay guitars pick up the pace and Mick’s chug a chug drum beats follow suit, “If I could I’d give you my world/ how can I/ when you won’t take it from me?” and by the chorus he’s telling her to go her own way. I wonder how strange it must feel to sing along with the man when you know he’s singing about how awful you are? I guess that’s called professionalism and Fleetwood Mac is most definitely a professional band. “Go Your Own Way” may be Lindsay’s slap back to Stevie but it’s a pop classic that still sounds good today and I bet even Stevie is so way past the whole thing.

Y'all come back as we begin our descent into the ultimate in the top singles of the 70's - and we have so much more to talk about cuz well, I've got the music in me and I simply must share it with you...

Top 100 Singles Of The 70's - 40-36

#40-36
We've made it into the top 40 and we have some exciting things in store for you, coming in with some hard ass disco dance, a little bit of rock, a little bit of light adult contemporary and a whole lot of great singles; so let's hit it...

#40 – Knock On Wood – Amii Stewart
(Cropper/Floyd)
Ariola single #7736 US / Atlantic single #11214 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 01/27/1979 #1/ UK 04/07/1979 #6
It’s almost hard to believe this song is a cover of an R&B semi classic as Amii’s version of “Knock On Wood” has taken on a complete life of its own. Reconfigured into a disco dance classic, the thumping bass line, disco bells and Stewart’s beyond belief voice has pushed this song through the decades. When going through the songs of the 70’s I knew this one would make the list but when I started listening to all the songs, I realized how good this song really was. I first discovered it on that Hot Nights City Nights K-Tel album I had when I was a kid. I loved it then and would replay it after listening to it. I still do that.

#39 – Brand New Key – Melanie
(Melanie Safka)
Neighborhood single #4201 US / Buddha #2011 105 UK
Chart Debut: US Pop 10/30/1971 #1 / UK 01/01/1972 #4
Melanie was featured in our countdown a while back with her folky ode to the Woodstock generation “Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)”. Following that album, Melanie became increasingly frustrated with her record company and having to not only come up with a new album every six months but also not being able to control her own songs. So she created her own record company, a thing not usually done by women in the early 70’s and to prove she could do it all with her own ideas her first single was this mega-hit. Anyone who’s seen the film Boogie Nights should recall this classic as it is Roller Girl’s opus, “I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates/ you’ve got a brand new key…” Of course the skates and key were only metaphors for sex but Melanie’s almost child like vocals made it able to digest to the masses and not only the hipsters. The lyrics through out the song are a testament of power and self awareness, “I ride my bike/ I roller skate/ don’t drive no car/ I don’t go too fast/ but I go pretty far/ for someone who don’t drive/ I’ve been all around the world/ some say I’ve done alright for a girl…” But even a globe trotting roller skater needs some loving and she insists, “I rode my bike past your window last night/ I roller skated past your house at daylight/ it almost seems like you’re avoiding me/ I’m okay alone/ but you’ve got something I need…” I know I’ve already said it but search for a Melanie compilation, I swear you’re going to love it.
