Pete: I'd like to suggest 3 more from 10/1/77 Hour 2: Alan Parsons Project - I Robot BreakdownMy pick would have been the instrumental "I Robot" that got FM AOR airplay and leads into their hit single "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You".  "I Robot" is a great pick. What makes "Breakdown" great is the lead vocal of the Hollies' Allan Clarke. |

Unless October 26, 1974 is a B show to a 4 hour 1978 show (10/21/1978 to be exact). |

This week’s 70s album tracks for… November 12, 1977Hour #1: Elvis Presley’s Elvis In Concert (“Introduction/See See Rider”) Hour #2: Chicago XI (“Take Me Back To Chicago”) Hour #3: Rita Coolidge’s Anytime…Anywhere (“Words”) The Chicago track was the third and final single released from 'XI', but only reached #63 in June '78. Like the second single, Terry Kath's "Little One" (#44 in March '78), it should have charted higher. "Little One" was a great tribute to Kath, who passed away (accidentally shot himself) on Jan 23 '78, just a week before his 32nd birthday. |
