Sept 1961 Michael by The Highwaymen - Stupid
Sept 1962 Sherry by The Four Seasons - Gaaaaayyyyyyy
Sept 1963 My Boyfriend's Back by Angels - They kind of did something for me, but the song sucks
Sept 1964 House of the Rising Sun by Animals - Not too shabby....
Sept 1965 Help! by Beatles - Pop Beatles, but still makes me smile, and think of the Rutles version (Ouch!)
Sept 1966 You Can't Hurry Love by Supremes - Sucks...
Sept 1967 Ode to Billie Joe by Bobbie Gentry - Again, her voice kind of did something for me, but the movie ruined the song..
Sept 1968 People Got To Be Free by Rascals - hippy dogshit
Sept 1969 Sugar, Sugar by Archies - worse than hippy dogshit, phony madeup band dogshit
Sept 1970 Edwin Starr by War - War = ok, this song, not so much
Sept 1971 Go Away Little Girl by Donnie Osmond - sucked, though I might do his sister now
Sept 1972 Black and White by Three Dog Night - Luv the Dog, but this song is a beating
Sept 1973 Delta Dawn by Helen Reddy - SUCKED!!!!
Sept 1974 I Shot the Sheriff by Eric Clapton - didn't understand it for years, but kind of like it now
Sept 1975 Rhinestone Cowboy by Glen Campbell - Not his best work
Sept 1976 (Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty by KC and the Sunshine Band - Blow me, KC
Sept 1977 Best Of My Love by Emotion - dont even fucking remember this POS
Sept 1978 Boogie Oogie Oogie by A Taste of Honey - makes my dick soft and brain ache to think this was a "hit"
Sept 1979 My Sharona by The Knack - Stupid, but will always sing along, likewise with the revised cover "Ayatollah"
Sept 1980 Upside Down by Diana Ross - Sucked then, sucks now
Sept 1981 Endless Love by Endless Love - Makes my ears bleed, though was always a good choice for a chance at snatch grabbin'
Sept 1982 Abracadabra / Hold Me Now - Steve Miller / Chicago - Both are an instant channel change 30 years later
The obvious conclusion is that Top 40 Radio absolutely sucks absolutely!
I knew we were old, but never realized how nearly equally old. I've added my comments and 1 additional year... life has not been good...
