This song is an emotional roller coaster like no other I've heard. It has all the sweet romanticism of young love with the couple building a home and a family so early in life. Then, the tragic grief of a husband suddenly losing his wife; a young child losing its mother. The subsequent emotional ...

  Every time I see some lard butt cruising around my local Wal-Mart in a mobility scooter, I am instantly reminded of this song. Your legs got nothin' to do, some machine's doin' that for you. Also, that part about picking your son/daughter from the bottom of a long glass tube sounds alot like a sp...

  I'm not a typical touchy-feely person, but I heard this song on a Casey Kasem 1975 countdown replay recently. Of the hundreds of songs that deal with losing a loved one, this is the most heart-rending. The lyrics are vivid enough to make you empathise with this guy's experience. The duality of e...

  This is one of those gems from the 70s that never charted very high, but probably should have based on its merits. The lyrics make you empathize with all the characters involved: the man who is losing his love, the "other man" losing his friend, and the woman who is caught in the middle. Every ...

  I can't decide which is more sad: That this song was a Top 40 hit, or that somebody gave Pat Sajak a talk show.

  Riccardo Cocciante - When love has gone away

  When love has gone away, brano del 1976 tratto dall'omonimo Lp di stampa Americana

  mfrerkes said:

  I'm simply amazed at what you can find on YouTube. I stumbled upon this while trying to locate songs from the 70s that just missed cracking the Top 40. This song peaked at #41 on Billiboards back in May 1976. Obviously, quite a few radio stations were playing his single...but just not frequently ...

Player - Baby Come Back

Late 70's smooth rock at it's best.

mfrerkes said:

The late 70s was the best era for progressive rock that had mainstream pop appeal. Bands like Kansas and Boston put out songs that really pushed rock music in a more challenging yet commercial direction. This song by Player is another example of how 1976, 77, and 78 should be considered the ape...

  This song was on the SiriusXM Big 80s countdown over the weekend. Mark Goodman (the former MTV VJ who co-hosts the countdown) suggested that people pull up this video on YouTube, so I did. I was nine years old when this song was popular and barely remember it, but had never seen the video. Of ...

  I remember watching this HBO special when it came out in 1999. At the time, I was very upset at George Carlin for saying there was no god and making fun of religion's confusing and non-sensical beliefs. Now, 12 years later, I think this is one of the most brilliant speeches ever given on the to...

  George Carlin transcends his role as a comic to the point of a being a prophet. Hundreds of years from now, society will look at this man's works and wonder why he was labelled as a comedian instead of a statesman.
