It Was The Best Of Times, It Was The Worst Of Times...

35 years ago this week, I was enjoying the summer vacation before my summer vacation.

Rolling Stone magazine's Top Ten list was, to put it mildly, pretty sad.

RS 215, June 17, 1976

1. Wings - "Silly Love Songs"

2. Silver Convention - "Get Up And Boogie (That's Right)"

3. Dorothy Moore - "Misty Blue"

4. Diana Ross - "Love Hangover"

5. Daryl Hall and John Oates - "Sara Smile"

6. Henry Gross - "Shannon"

7. Captain and Tennille - "Shop Around"

8. Andrea True Connection - "More, More, More (pt. 1)"

9. Starland Vocal Band - "Afternoon Delight"

10. The Brothers Johnson - "I'll Be Good To You"

It was the 70s. Where was the rock and roll? The Zeppelin, the Boston, the Aerosmith?

Sigh.
