Bip Roberts posted:The counterpoint is songs that clearly mean an artist was too big like Hall and Oates: method of modern love (just garbage). No one else would chart that. Hall & Oates' cover of Family Man went to #6. Yeah. Watching a bit of the #5s video: - Del Shannon was a cut above in his era, but only a couple of songs of his even made oldies stations, back when they still included early 1960s. All the classic stations I listen to now are pretty much 80s-present, with exceptions for Queen's huge hits and the notable Led Zeppelin stuff. - Donovan might have made it to #1 if he could have come up with any better name or title than Hurdy Gurdy Man. - If you're not familiar with the story of Edision Lighthouse and Tony Burrows, it's a helluva story. Todd in the Shadows did a pretty good recap. - For as huge as they were for a few years, Three Dog Night made absolutely no lasting impact.. - Rock & Roll Music was the first indication that the Beach Boys were all aboard cashing in on nostalgia. 95% of their output after was pure dreck. All those people who bought that single are the reason Mike Love is 82 years old and still acting like it's 1962.
