Throwback Thursday: 1976

Happy Bicentennial!!!

10. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

I was actually going to play the Peter Frampton song below, but watching the video for this song changed my mind. MAN is it a good song. Sorry Peter. Better luck next week.

9. Peter Frampton - Show Me the Way
8. Gary Wright - Dream Weaver
7. Commodores - Sweet Love
6. Dr. Hook - Only 16
5. The Sylvers - Boogie Fever
4. Captain & Tennille - Lonely Night (Angel Face)
3. Maxine Nightingale - Right Back Where We Started From
2. Bellamy Brothers - Let Your Love Flow
1. Johnnie Taylor - Disco Lady

Throwback Thursday: 1980

When this chart came out, John Lennon was still alive.


10. Linda Ronstadt - How Do I Make You
9. Kool & the Gang - Too Hot
8. Shalamar - The Second Time Around
7. Rupert Holmes - Him
6. Donna Summer - On the Radio
5. The Spinners - Working My Way Back to You/Forgive Me, Girl
4. Andy Gibb - Desire
3. Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Rumor has it that John Lennon heard this song and was inspired to get back into music. I can't find confirmation of that, but it would be pretty cool if it were true.

2. Dan Fogelberg - Longer
1. Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)

I'm not just going to NOT put the Pink Floyd video up, just because I also wanted to put the Queen video up. Of course, this is from the movie The Wall, but it's as good a music video as any, don't you think?

Ok, back on track with today's posting from Billboard as they countdown the All Time Hot 100 from 55 years of Billboard. It's Top 40 time. Someone call Casey!
