7 of the 70s: 8/30/12...

Hey folks, it's time for 7 of the 70s, where I'll bring you seven nuggets from the Me Generation. This time out it's seven from 1975, the year Bill Gates founded Microsoft...

Neil Sedaka - "Bad Blood"

from the album The Hungry Years (1975)

Billboard Hot 100 peak: #1

Elton John lends Sedaka a hand to a fun, cheesy pop Hot Pocket of goodness.

Jigsaw - "Sky High"

from the album Sky High (1975)

Billboard Hot 100 peak: #3

The most fun song about being cheated on that I can think of, by the British pop band.

Pilot - "Magic"

from the album From The Album of the Same Name (1974)

Billboard Hot 100 peak: #5

Bay City Roller cast-offs come up with something 10 times better than their previous band. I played this constantly at the beach back then.

Tavares - "It Only Takes A Minute"

from the album In The City (1975)

Billboard Hot 100 peak: #10

The Massachussetts brothers' biggest pop hit surely earned them their spot on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

Carpenters - "Solitaire"

from the album Horizon (1975)

Billboard Hot 100 peak: #17

Another helping of Sedaka goodness, delivered by one of the greatest female voices of the decade. Heartbreaking.

Kraftwerk - "Autobahn"

from the album Autobahn (1974)

Billboard Hot 100 peak: #25

The German electronic music pioneers put something never heard before into the American Top 40.

Led Zeppelin - "Trampled Under Foot"

from the album Physical Graffiti (1975)

Billboard Hot 100 peak: #38

The legendary rockers get all funky with one of my favorite tunes of theirs.

That wraps it up for this week, stay tuned later on for 8 more from the 80's. Cheers!
