Got pretty fucked up in CDA circa 1982 with the bass player for Head East.
There may have been Wallace hookers and blow involved. Checking with my attorney on the hookers and blow statute of limitations. Definitely big-haired bitches from Peabody's.
My first wife called her mother in law this
Whoa
Wham de lam
Whoa
Wham de lam
It's fucking Ram Jam or burn it all down. A black work song thrown down by the dorkiest white fucks ever in the most hooky way possible is the shit of legend. This song couldn't even be made today without getting the entire record company cancelled. It's fucking epic.

That's a tough list to pick from. I think I own the album for at least five and probably six of them. I'll go with Ram Jam because they are the most "one hit" to me because I know I've never heard anything else from them. And a salute to Peabody's - I used to own a bunch of their mugs but my last wife hated them and threw them out.
I was pretty torn here. I wanted to go with Ram Jam, but All Right Now is just too much of the perfect song for its moment in time.
I don't care if it's cliche and ruined by overplay. It basically spawned an entire style of radio friendly, catchy hard rock in a way that Zep, Cream, Sabbath had never attempted.
What also love about this list is the prevalence of cowbell. The drummers today just don't know how to lay down some good cowbell.
Good list but so many not on that list
One Toke over the Line comes to mind
Baker Street, Kung Ku Fighting, I am trying to list all the ones that drive me crazy as I drive around and my wife keeps changing to SiriusXM 70's on 7 - the name could be changed to One hit wonders of 70s

Spirit in the Sky was released in Dec. 1969. I had it pegged to the 60s.

Very funny comments and so true about what record companies would say now about the song today... do like the signature Riff and the music video is an epic cult classic that now that seems like a SNL skit now.
I'm a retard and can't figure out if I got the quote function to work, but I agree on All Right Now. However, to me it seems like it's just Bad Company's first hit. But take that for what it's worth because I went through a Paul Rodgers phase and have all of the original Bad Co albums as well as Willie and the Poor Boys and The Firm's two albums.
