5 1975 “My Eyes Adored You” Frankie Valli
(Tough call because I liked both songs. I think this one has aged better, plus this one reminds me of the girl I had a hopeless crush on about the time this came out.)

1 1976 “Silly Love Songs” Wings
Half a vote for this song, half a vote against the other.

I never heard that song quite the same way after Rush Limbaugh's "My Hands Explored You" version.

TOURNAMENT OF CHART-TOPPERS 1970S PING LIST
(This is a temporary ping list, so don’t worry!)

RUN-OFF FROM ROUND 3 RESULTS:

“MY EYES ADORED YOU” WINS! Beats “Love Will Keep Us Together”. Makes it out of a run-off AGAIN! Pray will it be tied again the next round?

“SILLY LOVE SONGS” WINS! Beats “Best of My Love”

Happy with the first, sad with the second - where did all the disco go? Left only with BGs?

Thanks to all who helped break the tie!

Interesting tidbits on the survey from Round 3:

-MOST VOTES - tie of “American Pie”, “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” and “Loco-Motion”!
-FEWEST VOTES - “Seasons in the Sun”! Gaaaah!!! I love that awesome song!
-ALL songs got some votes; no zeroes
-Most pairs were pretty clear run-aways, although some were rather close (as with our last run-off pair, for which “Best of My Love” rallied to come back for a tie).

On to Round 4!

I've never heard that one, although I haven't listened much the past 10 years. What was the topic? (TSA?)
