This was mine,The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun (Live 1970)
First song I fell in live with was Day After Day by Badfinger. ( I has in grade school!)

So many songs I loved in the 70’s but it was the first time I heard Rocky Top, still one my favs.
80’s I spent in school and studying.
90’s I discovered Conserative talk radio and have been there ever since!
Many of these tunes can be found here

Yes, “Layla” was Clapton’s ode to Patti Boyd, George Harrison’s wife.
LOL!!! All my childhood crushes!!! (Except Cassidy... not so much. Sorta the first Pajama Boy! I kinda noticed that in grade school!!!!!!)

(I like #56 on the list in particular; IMO it's one of Janis' underrated efforts but was still sort of a hit.)
which association-the good time or doing something so dumb that it brought instant karma?
Aja. The whole damn album.
A lot of people said they couldn’t tell the difference between me and Bobby Sherman.

For the Good Times or maybe Sunday Morning Coming Down
“I don’t play jukeboxes much...”
Thank you. In the 70s I was bar tending my way thru college.
Bars have jukeboxes.
Most of the fondly remembered songs on this thread were mass marketed pabulum, so overplayed on jukebox and Top 40 radio, that I hope I never, ever hear any of them again.
Jeremiah the Bullfrog was the absolute worst.
In my case, not so 'instant', but payable in installments of regret thru the years.
Sweet Hubby and married in March of 1970. “We’ve Only Just Begun” was our song. We played it countless times during our honeymoon trip to Yosemite. Sweet Hubby went home to the Lord a little more than a year ago. How blessed and happy we were together for more than 45 years.
There we go!!!! The INCREDIBLE Chicago at full throttle! No group ever blended vocals, horns, guitars and organs better than the INCREDIBLE Chicago Transit Authority/Chicago, circa 1969-1974. ‘Introduction’ is a perfect example of how they could ‘do it all’! After album #7 in 1974 they fell off badly imho). Terry Kath is/was the most underrated, (By the know nothing dipsticks anyway), guitarist of all time. Heck,he WAS the greatest, and always will be, as far as I’m concerned.
I am a very big fan of both Leon Russell and Van the Man.
Younger types assure me they do make them like that these days, but I rarely hear about them.
Derek Trucks, Joe Bonamassa come to mind. Even Michael Buble.
Check out this old guy: Seasick Steve (he was about 70 yrs old when this was made. He lives and performs mostly in Europe, although he is an American blues original)

One interesting chart hit from that year was Candida by Dawn. No Tony Orlando credit, though he obviously sang lead. I think he was contractually tied to another record label at the time, or something.
I’ve paid on the regret installment plan for some stuff, too-but that particular dumbass stunt smacked me down with things I never even knew existed-within a few months-never trusted a first impression of a guy again...

And I look like Goldie Hawn and Meg Ryan from the same distance ..... and 25 years ago!!!! LOL!
