Seventies Songs You Never Hear Anymore

Re: Seventies Songs You Never Hear Anymore

Thanks for the kind words, Darren. I really enjoyed compiling those long-forgotten songs. I grew up listening to all those tunes on the radio, and actually the 60s/70s are my particular favourite eras for music. I never get tired of listening to songs from that era, as every song had a catchy tune, unlike much of the tuneless dross of today.

It Only Takes A Minute (100 Ton And A Feather, again '76)

Hmmm, I wonder why this isn't played anymore?. Hint, remember who 100 Ton is.

Someone mentioned Making Plans For Nigel by XTC. 6Music play it all the time. It's either that or Senses Working Overtime because XTC only ever recorded those two tracks and nothing else according to DJs for the past twenty years.

Problem is that almost all of the radio stations, including oldies stations, play the same dozen songs all day.
