Super Hits Of The 70's - Have A Nice Day

[jpkansas]

Others are:

Saturday Morning Confusion - Bobby Russell
Sweet City Woman - The Stampeders
One Fine Morning - Lighthouse
Absolutely Right - Five Man Electrical Band
It's a Cryin' Shame - Gayle McCormick


Several of these I've never even heard of. Went with Other for Bobby Russell, followed by The Stampeders and Lighthouse.

I was feeling kinda hungry, so I went with Timothy. ;D Crabby was a close second with Lighthouse third.

[SAT-I need more room!!]

ABSOLUTELY no question-Crabby Appleton! One of THE best songs of all time.

[Pete70s]

OK. This is one of the better CD's in the series, IMO. I've been anticipating this one, because picking one track to vote for is going to be tough. So I ranked them in order of prefference, like Dave does. Eventually I gave it to the Stampeders..

Here's my ranking:

Stampeders
Lighthouse
Crabby Appleton (If this poll were split like the first 4 volumes, I'd have voted for this for the first half)
"Absolutely Right" (Very overlooked follow-up to "Signs")
The Buoys
John Kongos (Top-10 in England. This IS the song that Happy Mondays had a minor hit with in '91)
"Signs"
Lulu
Gayle McCormick
Bobby Russell (Light-hearted humor)
Brewer and Shipley
Pipkins (No, thanks..)

[Dawn]

I went with Other, for 'One Fine Morning'. 'Timothy' would be a close second choice.

Sweet City Woman for me,too.

[Cool Hand Logan]

No contest!! I chose Other for Sweet City Woman!

A huge fave of mine since high school days (Thanks Bob Mitchell). Crabby Appleton. ECSTATIC this made the series, and made my "Sweet 16" in my "Nice Day" battles a while back.
Also-rans:
Buoys (HUGE Syracuse hit)
Five Man Electrical Band (Signs)
Stampeders
Pipkins
Bobby Russell
Lighthouse
Gayle McCormick
John Kongos (I knew Happy Mondays' version first too)
5MEB (Absolutely right)
Lulu
Brewer & Shipley (not as good as "Toke")

Pink color scheme, with a cool, fiber-light lamp thingy.
Rating:8.9.

Signs followed by Sweet City Woman & One Fine Morning

[Laura--I wuv u all :)]

I don't remember if I voted on this, but right now it's a toss-up between Brewer & Shipley, 5MEB "Signs" (which I've always liked), and my fellow St. Louis County gal, Gayle McCormick (does her song remind anyone else of Freda Payne? It does to me!). I also love "One Fine Morning" and "Saturday Morning Confusion". "Timothy" is kind of a guilty pleasure--a sordid subject matter, but I love the beat and the orchestration. The John Kongos one didn't really grab me (that was the only one I didn't know before I got the CD). Maybe it will grow on me. I gotta admit I like the Pipkins one (kinda sounds like that "Ma-na-ma-na" song from "Sesame Street").

And if you're wondering why I'm reviving this ancient thread, it's because I just bought this very CD last night! That and the Alan Parsons Project's "I Robot"! Woo-hoo! Some great stuff and it was only about $15 for both CD's together.

So THAT'S what those are called--"fiberlight lamp thingies"!

Oh, yes, and like many of you, I also love the song by Crabby Appleton (love the scream near the end--"woooo!").
