Once years ago I brought my Rhino Super Hits of the '70s compilation tape to work. For just about every song that came up, some people were all "Oh, I hate this song; skip it," while others were "No, I love this song!" And which people fell into which group changed from song to song.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.
'Serenity'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Few musical eras are as polarizing as the 70s.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have great love for the theme for Greatest American Hero. Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. [link]
Try and listen to it without singing, I dare you.

For me, the '70s were Queen, disco, Supertramp, the best years of Chicago, and Little River Band (my first concert!). And lots of other stuff, too.

I love that song. But I hate "Walking on Sunshine."

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have great love for the theme for Greatest American Hero.
A song that meant quite a bit to me at the time. Spring '81 was the semester I really settled in at college and developed a life. "Greatest American Hero" was all over the radio that summer with it's "life is great" theme.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm pretty sure that many, if not all, of the songs I love that I think other people may not Aimee loves as well.

Because books.
Yeah, I've got a bunch of '70s songs I would put on that list. "Shannon," anyone? Nothing like a song about a dead dog to gloom up an afternoon.
I also love Carole King's soundtrack to Really Rosie completely unironically and listen to it a lot.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I think the '70's have a preponderance of "Songs that should never have been written". Shannon is on that list.
