"Little Green Bag" comes to mind immediately.
George Baker Selection! I was about 12 or 13 when "Paloma Blanca" came out. Between the flute on the melody and the lyrics of freedom, I was hooked on that one. Still love it, although I only hear it once in a blue moon.
Speaking of flute melodies in '70s pop songs, I heard "The Hustle" this morning. Textbook example of radio-friendly dance music.
Another one! INXS, "Never Tear Us Apart".
Hec! I have a musical quest for you: find me a cover of "Season of the Witch" with female vocals. Not the Julie Driscoll one.
In a perfect world, Jill Tracy or Chelsea Wolfe would have covered it.
Oooh, all of those will work. Thank you!
Do you need MP3s or just those links?
And "Summer Nights" is another one for the "never gets old" list.
Springsteen's "Thunder Road" is on the list for me.
