We want to hear your opinions too!!-
Welcome to Music Monday with DD12!! Today's year is 1975, the top ten songs on the billboard charts.
1: "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Captain and Tennille.
DD12: "I liked it, a lot. Fun dancing song."
Ray: "I have always liked this song, another great song penned by Sedaka. Love me sommadat Sedaka tunes! Plus, she says "Sedaka is back" at the end. Really cool."
2: "Rhinestone Cowboy" by Glen Campbell.
DD12: "That's a song that I would listen to. Obviously, when you look at a picture of me, do you think that I would listen to this song? Absolutely."
Ray: "I always dug a lot of Glen Campbell songs. I like the orchestration of this song. My favorite is "Southern Nights." "
3: "Philadelphia Freedom" by Elton John.
DD12: "I thought it was good, I'll give it an 8 out of ten."
Ray: "This song always makes me think of 'Dog Day Afternoon', even though a different Elton song was in the movie. There are a lot of Elton John songs I don't like, but this is not one of them. We have to go to Philly!"
4: "Before The Next Teardrop Falls" by Freddy Fender.
DD12: " I love that song, I will give it a ten out of ten. Fun song to go to sleep to. GOODNIGHT!"
Ray: "Same goes for me, ten stars. Dad used to sing this one. I'm really crazy about songs with other languages at the moment."
5: "My Eyes Adored You" by Frankie Valli.
DD12: "I loved it. An all time favorite by Frankie Valli, I give it a ten out of ten."
Ray: "This makes me tear up. Especially the way it was used in 'Jersey Boys', which is a fantastic movie, by the way. I love this one."
6: "Shining Star" by Earth, Wind and Fire.
DD12: "I thought it was ok. Not as good as the other ones in my opinion, but fun though."
Ray: "Not hot on it. Guess I have to be in the mood for Funk."
7: "Fame" by David Bowie.
DD12: "It's ok. A little boring. I give it five stars."
Ray: "Not my favorite Bowie song. Fun fact, John Lennon sang backup for this one. The things you learn at the College of Rock and Roll Knowlege."
8: "Laughter In The Rain" by Neil Sedaka.
DD12: "I like this song, Neil Sedaka always wins, goodbye David Bowie. But wait, I like David Bowie! No disrespect to the Bowie man, but Neil wins this one."
Ray: "SEDAKA!!! I love this guy and his songs. 'Callender Girl' is my favorite. I think this was during his 70s comeback. Tennille was right, Sedaka is back! Or backa Sedaka."
9: "One Of These Nights" by The Eagles.
DD12: "Well, to be honest with you, DD12 doesn't like The Eagles. To me, I think this song is a bit boring. I give it a four and a half."
Ray: "I never ever liked the Eagles. I'll leave it at that. But, I do like Eagles!! Love those birdies."
10: "Thank God, I'm A Country Boy" by John Denver.
DD12: "I like John Denver and I like this song!! I will give it 10 stars, my man, Johnny D!!"
Ray: "Remember when we moved here, this was one of the first record a we ever listened to in this house. Fond memories. Viva la John Denver!!"

Hmm, don't "love" any of these (don't "hate" any of them either, just none of my faves in here). I would love for you to review 1968 and 1969 at some point. Btw Raven, I have a CD I made for you of some of my favorite oldies, most of the songs are from the late 1960's and early 1970's, a bit heavy on the Motown as that was my favorite music when I was a kid :) I'll give it to you at the picnic.
ReplyDelete1968 it is!! Looking forward to the picnic, and thank you so much!! :)
DeleteI'm so proud of you two! I love that you're doing this together. It makes a Mama smile. I too like John Denver and Frankie Valli. The others, not so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ma! Stay tuned for next Monday, 1968! :)
