Sweet merciful crap! A posting!!! And... well I was going to slam each and every choice on there replacing it with the most inane thing I could think of but that just seemed like too much work.
Thanks Steve, nice to know you've got my back.
so, now the blog's up and running again (maybe), time to get around to that party I keep hearing about!
Also let me explain where you went wrong:
1973: Wake of the Flood - The Grateful Dead
1974: On the Border - The Eagles
1975: ABBA - ABBA
1976: Summertime Dream - Gordon Lightfoot
1977: Prism - Prism (Yeah Vancouver!)
1978: Saturday Night Fever - The Beegees
This is less fun than anticipated; however, I'm sure I got at least one good repugnant shudder out of you!
