Love: Play that Funky Music (must be a Heather Thing)
Hate: Love Hurts (must be a Joe thing)
Can't Remember Get Up & Boogie
Joe, I also like Love is Alive, but I REALLY like the kick-ass version on the picnic CD. I cannot play that song loudly enough.

Gingey, there you are! I've been missing you.
Love: "Bohemian Rhapsody." Also love "Love Hurts," regardless of the opinions of others, it has kick-ass vocal lines and was a great slow dance song. Do any of you remember slow dancing? ;-) I also like "Love is Alive," though.
Hate: 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Afternoon Delight.

I KNOW it isn't true
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts...OOOOooooooooooo...love hurts (*sigh*)

This was the year I discovered Tull through the "Songs from the Wood" ablum. Very important year for me, musically speaking.
All these other songs are in my iPod and get played in the OR...oh, 15 to 17 times a day, I treasure them so.
Doesn't England Dan live in a mobile home park outside of Mahoning now?
Wait with shivers of anticipation for the top 25, 1977-80....

Yikes.....believe it or not, I had no interest in music at all until 1977. Being the eldest Hansmann sib I did not have an older bro or sis to influence my sociological tastes.
I remember it was after a swim meet in Johnstown when we beat Richland, a team we weren't expected to beat. Afterwards the coach took us to the mall for ice cream. Jim Gordon pulled me into a National Rip-Off Mart to look over some records. I wasn't that interested, but he put an album into my hands and said, "You have got to get this as it is THEE best album out right now." For some reason, I bought it and "Seconds Out" by Genesis became the first rock record I owned.
As for these top 25 of 1976, I recall several, but I do not have any faves here. For the majority of these, I would change the radio station or turn it off if one of thse tunes came on.

Boz bought my sister Alice Cooper, Killer. for her birthday. My parents freaked.
Pardon the Boz non-sequitur, there hasn't been one in a while.
