That was a flat out horrible era for songs. The early to mid-70's with the exception of what certain groups that carried on from the 60's, like the Stones, the Who and the Kinks were doing, was a vast wasteland of overproduced corporate bullshit rock, along with the happy balladeer Jims (Croce and Taylor, though JT was pretty strung out at the time) and some really bad crossover country (Kenny Rogers and Charlie Rich or Convoyyyyy!, anyone?).

I was just a kid, but I remember suffering through what I consider was the death-knell of AM radio. Please don't remind me again.

Upon further review, it also reminds me of perhaps the worst, and certainly the longest song, ever. American Pie (The Day the Music Died) by Don McLean. How anybody could like that piece of shit is beyond me.

This is the part where I confess to having an unaccountable and enduring fondness for Niel Diamond, who was fairly successful in that period.
