Sterne für die US #1-Hits der Seventies

Ich mag die ja alle, aber irgendwo musste ich ja abstufen. Und alles weiße Jungs, Mädels und schwarze Jungs haben bei mir mehr offensichtlich mehr Glück.

Jim Croce, stimmt, den hab ich bislang überhaupt sehr vernachlässigt. Das will nicht so 100% klappen. Kommt auf Wiedervorlage!

Onkel Tom@ LarkCGN:

Vieles kann ich ja gut nachvollziehen aber folgende sind – teils sträflich – unterbewertet:

Rod Stewart – Maggie May ***
Don McLean – American Pie ***
Gilbert O’Sullivan – Alone Again (Naturally) ***
Ringo Starr – Photograph ***
Jim Croce – Time in a Bottle ***1/2
John Sebastian – Welcome Back ***
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – Blinded by the Light ***1/2
Robert John – Sad Eyes ***1/2Rod Stewart – Maggie May ***
Don McLean – American Pie ***
Gilbert O’Sullivan – Alone Again (Naturally) ***
Ringo Starr – Photograph ***
Jim Croce – Time in a Bottle ***1/2
John Sebastian – Welcome Back ***
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – Blinded by the Light ***1/2
Robert John – Sad Eyes ***1/2

Die Wertung für Jim Croce ist fast schon unverschämt niedrig.

Unbewertete kenne ich nicht, zumindest nicht bewusst.

onkel-tomMich wundert etwas, wie viele Titel du nicht kennst.
