Torn Between Two Lovers - Mary MacGregor

never heard of either, but my first impression is that it's crap



Yup, crap ...how did that song get to number 1

I agree that's crap. What's worse is that I remember it, so it musta been played to death at one time. Or maybe my mum bought it. She liked all that mushy stuff.

You must have a favourite from that year so we can cancel this one out.

1974 top 100

#1 Song - The Way We Were (Barbara Streisand)

Can't say I'm a fan - but only cause I never heard it before


best song on the top 100 list? Steve Miller of course!!!

Bah! Youngsters!

Nat King Cole, Nature Boy - 1948

Not crap. Subjective of course, but that is WAY better than the crap they churn out these days.

They call it music? It is not.

...this was popular the year i was born... if a guy ever said that junk to me, he'd be walkin with a limp for the rest of his life - unless he was kiddin and it was just kinky foreplay...




...i prefer SHAKE (rattle and roll) by The Stone Coyotes... couldnt find it on youtube but heres a link to their website where you can hear a clip and read the lyrics... they're an awesome band... i had the pleasure of conversing with barbara keith a few times... she's amazing...

Best song from the year, possibly one of the best songs EVER!!!! Coincidentally (nah I'm done with coincidences ) I was listening to this earlier this evening (put together by the Playing for Change Foundation - OUTSTANDING!!) ...



1971

Ghost Riders in the Sky by Vaughn Monroe. The one below is a later version sung by him in 1965. It was a hit, #1 Billboard in 1949

I believe the OP is just trying to trick us into revealing our true ages..
No. 1 song in the U.S. when I was born:
No. 1 in U.K. was Aneka - Japanese Boy

My Favorites for that year:


Honorable mentions go to:
I Love Rock 'n Roll- Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
