Comment:
Another musical crap-fest.Feedback:
Oh, the humanity.... Now that said, there are some true guilty pleasures here.
Yes, some guilty pleasures here. That Paul McCartney song is actually my favorite post-Beatle tune of his and that Donna Summer song... maybe you had to have heard it the first time on a flashing dance floor.
The Ringo Starr/Walter Egan transition almost makes up for the Patrick Hernandez that preceeds it! :)
Re: McCartney....Ditto Emery (esp: Pet Clarke's version...some of this is far too good to be on a Hell CD: Donna Summer, Hollies...but u got it spot on with Cheryl Ladd !
oh! that George Harrison song brings back memories.
I'll quibble with you on the concept - although I support the concept of compiling the best of the worst of the 70's (I even cohosted a few radio speicals called RADIO HELL dedicated to that concept in the mid 80s at my college radio station), but there are some gems here that stand up without any ironic needs. Harrison, Hollies, Lennon/Elton, McCartney, and Billie Preston all stand up on their own legs. Still, the disc is fun as hell.
see, I kinda knew this would happen...
I don't really think any of songs are "crap". I don't listen to stuff I don't like. Having said that, I agree with Dom, Cheryl Ladd is indeed a hellish choice. When it was on the radio however, I loved it. I was a kid, what did I know...

Cool. I still remember that guy on the school bus who claimed the Bay City Rollers were going to be as big as the Beatles.
Oh man, I remember all thosecommercials for K-tel compilations in the early 80s and I think I may have even *gasp* owned one. I agree with Dale and others that some of these tracks are classic in their own right, and a lot of the rest are definitely in that guilty pleasure category. =)
This is a trip-- some bumpy parts (Cheryl Ladd) and some real open road (Walter Egan). I remember listening to Andy Gibb's tune thinking it had something to do with "Rocky" (shadow boxing?)...I did some great young-boy-punchin-in-great-light to this song. Thanks for a fun one. God bless K-tel.
Ooh, scary! Maybe this is what killed the radio star?
Oh, those memories just keep flooding back!! Lovely, Cruella. Now I'm going to have that Walter Egan song on my brain all day long....
