So many serious things were happening then that this stuff was hard to take even contemplate.

"Killing Me Softly with His Song"

Killing Me Softly, With Kung Fu

"...strummin' my face with his fingers, changing my nose with his foot, killing me softly with kung fu, killing me softly, with kung fu, changing my outlook, with his shoe..."

1. Bridge over troubled water. Everything they did together was extraordinary.

2. Very tough to call, but Karen Carpenters‘s voice was once-in-a-generation . Close to you.

3. It’s too late. Tapestry was genius.

4. Abstain. Offhand I don’t know either song.

5. American pie. An amazing diary of the collapse of 60s dreams. This should win the whole contest.

6. Killing me softly. Crocodile rock was not John’s best song.

7. Bad, Bad Leroy Brown. I can’t believe the execrable “Seasons in the sun“ is even on this list.

8. Love’s theme. Even though it didn’t have his name, Barry White at his best. Plus, it was the music for all those golf tournaments on TV.

9. Love will keep us together. My mom always loved the line at the end, “Sedaka is fine.” Plus, according to my radio station, it was the number one song of the year.

10. Rhinestone cowboy. Glen Campbell was at the height of his powers then, plus the other song was too backward- looking.

11. “Silly Love Songs” Wings; might’ve gone “Best of my love” if it had been the Eagles version.

12. Play that funky music (white boy). I listen to that song even now.

13. Stayin alive. Who can forget the opening of that movie, with that song in the background?

14. “Kiss You All Over” Exile. Props to the one-hit wonders.

15. “Bad Girls.” The Bee Gees were one of the classic 70s bands, but this was not one of their better songs, and “Bad girls“ was one of Summers’.

16. 1979 “My Sharona” The Knack Too early in the brackets, like North Carolina playing Duke in the first round. But I go with the biggest of The Knack’s two hits.
