Group C contains the top song of the year. I could have put GFR's Locomotion in this group.
Terry Jacks - Season in the Sun
Redbone - Come and get your love
Elton John - Bennie and the Jets
Barbara Streisand - The Way We Were
Group H - Maria Muldaur used to make an annual pilgrimage to Dayton. If you remember Spiders and Snakes, it belongs here.
David Essex - Rock On
Maria Muldaur - Midnight at the Oasis
John Denver - Sunshine on my Shoulder
Blue Suede - Hooked on a Feeling
Group A - From today's perspective, that's a solid group of songs. Billy Don't be a Hero would go here.
Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown
Olivia - Let me be There
Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle
Wings - Band on the Run
Group E - Again...That's a solid group of songs. Rock your Baby would go here. TIL that song was sung by a guy.
Steve Miller - The Joker
Carpenters - Top of the World
Billy Preston - Nothing from Nothing
Roberta Flack - Feel like Making Love
Group B - I'm a little surprised that the Entertainer was that far down the list. My dad wanted that movie to be real. The Night Chicago Died would go here.
Living For the City - Stevie Wonder
Abba - Waterloo
Brownsville Station - Smoking in the Boys Room
Marvin Hamlisch - The Entertainer
Group I brings us to the middle of the list. Rock and Roll Heaven would fit here.
Rufus - Tell Me Something Good
The Hollies - All I need is the Air that I breath
Steely Dan - Rikki Don't Lose that Number
Joni Mitchell - Help Me
Group F is next.
BTO - Takin' Care of Business
Golden Earing - Radar Love
Dave Loggins - Please Come to Boston
Wet Willie - Keep on Smiling
Group D belongs with Ringo Star's Oh My My.
The O'Jays - For the Love of Money
Wings - Jet
Clapton - I Shot the Sheriff
Mike Oldsfield - Tubular Bells
Group G Brings up the rear along with Sister Janet Mead's version of the Lord's Prayer. Yes, it was a while ago.
Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me
The Guess Who - Clap for the Wolfman
Anne Murry - A Love Song
Stevie Wonder - Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Y'all are welcome to try and order the songs within each group. Hopefully that tickled a couple of memories. 1974 was pretty good. I was 12 and just discovering FM radio.
