Probably one of the most annoying #1 hit ever from this week 50 years ago.

Didn’t she divorce the Captain after he got dementia?

That proves how awful popular music was in 1975.

You might find it annoying. Structurally, it is darned close to the platonic ideal of a pop record.

Toni Tennille’s voice is lovely. Arrangement was great. There were a LOT worse tunes in 1975. And THOSE are scads better from anything popular from the Grunge era and after.

Yep. I guess love couldn't keep them together.

TG Genesis wasn’t all that popular in 1975, otherwise it might have not been great but rather sucked - like it did after “Duke” in the 80’s once they did become popular.

I prefer that to pretty anything that’s hit the charts in this century.

“There were a LOT worse tunes in 1975.”

Yep. There was good stuff on rock albums in the 60s and 70s and then lots of slop for the masses on AM radio.

Here’s one even worse than Captain and Tennille — “Philadephia Freedom” by Elton John released in Feb 1975. “... took me knee-high to a man, yeah gave me piece of mind my Daddy never had.”

I just binge watched a bunch of seasons of “That 70s Show”, and they used this on in the pilot. Regarding TT, her hairdo, slim build, and height made her look like a giant ****.

1975
Dylan’s ‘Blood on the Tracks’ came out.
Grateful Dead live
Pink Floyd ‘Wish You Were Here’
America ‘Hearts’
Marshall Tucker Band ‘Where We All Belong’
We saw-
The above
Allman Bros
The Dead
James Taylor
Tom Waits
CSN
New Riders of the Purple Sage

This earworm stuff was on the AM dial but there was great compositions and a lot of fun Rock and Roll and Blues coming out that we still play
