Re: A Yearly Chart on a Daily Basis, Thread 6

Ok, let's get started with 1975 and a new entry on number 10. What could be more representative of 1975 that this song ?

Listening to some 1975 songs is like having a heavy meal, an old school French meal like the ones I have when I go to my parents, with every course in the right order : apéritif (alcohool with salt cookies or olives) entrée (starter, either a mixed salad or charcuterie, or both, generally what I eat in one meal), plat (main course, meat or fish with vegetable AND potatoes or rice or pasta), green salad, cheese (4 or 5 different ones), dessert, cofee with chocolate.
With the starters : rosé wine
With the main course and cheese : red red wine.

Sorry for that interlude. 1973-1975 had too much French cheese, sometimes the songs are just too long, but, hey, there are excellent songs too. In fact, 3 songs in my top 20 will appear here.

So : 10 (New) Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Let's have a Roman orgy of mid-seventies music before the hordes of punk invaders come and burn everything !

Number 9... Number 9... Number 9...

Number 9 is the Big Little Stevie, still around for the third week; I love that live version posted by John erlier. I love it partly because after the end of the song you can hear the first notes of a great great pre-disco number by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes , "The love I lost"

Next song is a story, a long story by another one of this site's heroes, and the opening track to what I think is his best album.

This song is dedicated to Robert who made a wonderful post this morning about "Blood On the Tracks " under the title "albums that saved your life"

Re: A Yearly Chart on a Daily Basis, Thread 6

My first 3 songs won't be a surprise for those of you who know me well. The question is : in which order ?


My number 3 is the nb 1 song for 1975 in AM forum.

A good transition between songs 4 and 3 : did you know that David Bowie was a Springsteen fan as early as 1974 (so before Born To Run)? While recording with Visconti in Philly in nov 74 (sessions that would give birth to Young Americans) he asked if he could meet Bruce, but it was difficult to reach the boss because at that time he was living in a trailer.
A very shy and very tired Springsteen finally came all the way from Asbury Park, taking several buses.
Bowie decided to cover "It's hard to be a saint in the city" that was released later on a boxset

Re: A Yearly Chart on a Daily Basis, Thread 6

Number 2 is a very beautiful and strange song
I can find no link between Wyatt and Springsteen but still they always fight for the top spots in my different lists.
These days, Rock Bottom is my favorite album, and "Sea Song" perhaps the most accessible track in this strange album.
What can I say ? It's haunting, it's touching, it's strange, it's so human and it's alien all the while (especially the finale).

Oh, but I can see clouds of smoke. They're coming.
In an hour or so, they'll take the radio station.
people say they are fierce, merciless, that they shave their head. Their leader is named Travis Buckle.

nj's somewhat in a creamcheesed AOR mood tonight. as I may quote an unknown critic: 1976 (the brief period before Joey Ramone and McLaren) was basically all about hippies from 1969, who had turned into cowboys by 1973, and who now finally emerged as some filthy rich hippie-cowboy-lookalikes on sunchairs with flaky hand mirrors, daiquiris and attorneys right next to them. life on the fast lane as a trademark of incorporated RnR. while workin' on our night moves... salute..

Re: A Yearly Chart on a Daily Basis, Thread 6

nooo.. really, John.
what a dazzle. free. selection.
and as far as I am concerned, I'd really have no idea where an unnamed song like Rock Lobster could've been fallen into place like this...

Re: A Yearly Chart on a Daily Basis, Thread 6

Sometimes I can't tell if you are giving the thumbs up or the thumbs down, but I think...thanks?

This year was really easy to do. 5-6 songs that I absolutely love and the rest weren't very hard choices either.

Re: A Yearly Chart on a Daily Basis, Thread 6

Excellent list. I keep being amazed at how close my lists would have been to those of others. There are a few where I would pretty much have chosen all the other songs, but mostly I got at least 5-6 of the same songs.

All right, the ball's in my court now. Looks like I have a chance to listen to some more new music before I pick my top 10.

I will be moving soon and cut off from Internet for a few days (the horror!) so I'll try to take care of this soon. I know I can't keep you AMers waiting.
