Today's AT40...
...is gonna suck. Feb 16, 1980. Disco, crossover country, cheesy ballads, and the very rare new wave hit. i might spot-highlight a surprise or two, but I ain't doin' the line by line.
to hint, last week's top three were Coward of the County (Kenny Rogers), Do that to me one more time (Captain & Tennille), and Michael Jackson's Rock With You was #1. Yeah, we're 0 for 3 here, guys.
Even Styx can't have a good one. DeYoung was trying his "broadway" pop-stylings in Cornerstone's Why Me, styles that would eventually lead to Kilroy and the first breakup. In spite of it's success, I find Cornerstone to be my least fav Styx album after the first four (pre-Shaw) records. Let me put it this way: a 2-disc "greatest hits" cd set and this song didn't make that while songs that weren't even singles did.
And all these years later I still have no idea what to make of Zep's "Fool in the Rain".
top 3 - Kenny holds, Freddie (doing Elvis) in #2, and Captain and Tennille's last top 40 hit ever winds up in #1. What a way to go out, 'eh?
btw, Casey repeated the now proven false rumor they were married Feb 14, 1974. they were actually officially married on vet's day, 1975.
