@TheTalkeetna1 I checked: it was 1985. According to the source I use, there are a few songs I really like from around then but mostly mainstream stuff like "Don't Lose My Number" by Phil Collins (one of the most hilarious videos he ever made...up with Genesis videos like "Jesus He Knows Me" and "Land of Confusion") Going to listen to '79 from the Baltimore feed which usually plays all the AT40 extras. (hoping they have "Rainbow Connection" by Jim Henson/Kermit...yes it was 40 that week :p)

@Ataru320 Listen to AT 40 this wkd, it is from Oct 1979 is is part of that period in music that we liked from post disco to pre MTV, I do not know which 80s one is going on this weekend. Michael Jackson is playing now en route to the number one song for this period in 79, also Holdin on to yesterday by Ambrosia is good gem from 75, listen to Rotation by Herb Alpbert from 79, great tune too.

@TheTalkeetna1 I know of the Wings song (heck found out about "Girls School" from another countdown) and a little of the Ohio Players (also found out about "Funky Worm" and "Skin Tight" from AT40), but need to search for the others. Thanks for the hints.

@TheTalkeetna1 There are still a couple good songs that late in the 80s but I get you. Personally I sort of just love all the 70s, particularly when you hear how diverse the early 70s can be and how much is lost from the entire decade due to the super-select playlists of radio stations. But yeah: '78-'82/'83 is a great musical period and somewhat misunderstood due to not really fitting in anywhere with a lot of the music.

@Ataru320 Aside from Cowboy Star by Ambrosia, which never charted, I will you a partial list of gems I heard on AT 40 from the 70s. U-tube them and tell me what you think: Ecstasy by Ohio Players 1973, People Gotta Move by Gino Vannelli 1974, Venus and Mars Rock Show, Wings 1975, Slowdown, John Miles 1977, Such a Woman, Tycoon, 1979, Rolene, Moon Martin 1979, I still have dreams Richard Fury 1979, Savannah Nights, Tom Johnston 79/80, Carrie, Cliff Richard 79/80, Keep the Fire, Loggins 79/80.

@Ataru320 I agree, 1987 and 1988 are the worst, I hear a song and I instantly close the window. Spring of 86 had a few, but I can take it or leave it. I am glad radio stations across the country are airing 1979, although they have to start @ #30 due to time constraints. Notwithstanding, Jan 78 to Oct 78, all the seventies are great, and Oct 78 to the fall of 83 generate interest for me. Cool period from Nov 78 to Jul 82 w/ that post disco to pre-real MTV. Early MTV, novelty for me.

@TheTalkeetna1 Been listening to the Casey 70s show for years, try not to miss an episode whenever it's on with how many hidden gems it has. Just recently started with the 80s but sadly it's harder for me to catch since there are many weeks I just am not interested...both in years and music in it. Probably I'm immediately listening if it's 1980 or '81...'82 to '85 is maybe...but '86 on...most likely not.

@Ataru320 Take a Little Rhythm, by Ali Thompson is a great tune, I used to have that little A&M 45 record back in the summer of 80. Did you know that Ali Thompson was the brother of Supertramp's bassist? Hot Rod Hearts is great too. Used to also have the old Warner Bros single of Your the Only Woman, it was the buff label sans the California trees from the earlier days. I hear reruns of old AT 40s from Casey, type in Listen to American Top 40 the seventies/eighties.

@TheTalkeetna1 The thing is, I really like/love the jazz/pop sound of the late 70s/early 80s that sort of crept in and took over between post-disco and pre-MTV. (for example, I really like a 1980 song from that era that didn't get as much airplay called "Take a Little Rhythm"...and yeah, "Steal Away" is awesome) It's just no one really talks of that music and that era...and I was more or less comparing it to the earlier Ambrosia sound.
