Re: Seventies Songs You Never Hear Anymore

Thank you, Darren. I really loved recalling and putting all those songs on. It gets very addictive, as once you think of one, you then think of another, and another, and another...

Yeah, like Sweet Little Moonshine Sally and L-L-L-Lucy, two of Mud's songs which I have not heard on the radio for years and years and years. Good job I have these on my Mud Greatest Hits CD!

Occasionally Blockbuster or one of Sweet's better songs get played on the radio.

It's lucky to hear a Mud song that isn't Tiger Feet or Lonely This Christmas.

For some reason it seems that for most oldies stations glam rock never existed. For instance how often do you hear Mud or The Sweet. I understand why radio stations don't play songs by Gary Glitter but he still made some great records.

Whatever happened to Berni Flint?

Berni Flint is working the cruise ships, I was on a cruise last week and he was the guest comedian/singer. He was good if a little outdated with his material.

Yes, I DO remember Sing Me. As I recall, it charted in early 1977 (I actually bought it later on as an ex-jukebox record. Whatever happened to The Brothers? Gone the same way as Berni Flint, Millican and Nesbit etc.?

Wow, never knew that.

Re: Seventies Songs You Never Hear Anymore

Did you know that Typically Tropical also made a follow-up to Barbados called "Rocket Now"? It was quite good too, but I don't think it charted.

Re: Seventies Songs You Never Hear Anymore

A Fool To Cry by The Stones always makes me think of the red-hot summer of 1976, when I never used to feel like going back to school in the afternoon after coming home at dinner time. Did anybody else feel same?

Re: Seventies Songs You Never Hear Anymore

Yeah, Haitian Divorce was played a lot around the Christmas of 1976, as was Solstice Bells by Jethro Tull.

Re: Seventies Songs You Never Hear Anymore

You mean "My White Bicycle" by Nazareth, which was a hit in the summer of 1975. It was out round about the same time as my favourite 1975 TV series was being screened, namely The Survivors.

Re: Seventies Songs You Never Hear Anymore

ELO seem to have become more popular in recent years, at one time they seemed to be written off as Dadrock.

Mr Blue Sky seems to the the default song by them to play.
