Lotta Love by Nicolette Larson - maybe because it reminds me so much of driving home from the Lost & Found late at night through the quiet streets of DC. Sometimes it felt like it was just the car radio and I awake at that hour.

"When I Grow Too Old to Dream" - from Linda Ronstadt's Back in the USA:

Mad Love - Linda Ronstadt

Summer of '78 in cars (and everywhere else):

It took awhile, but eventually I loved Tusk, perhaps even more than Rumours.

Saturday Night Fever formed a lot of people's Carter era music.

Warren Zevon's first Asylum album was released in 1976, but I discovered it in 1977, and it stayed with me.

Isn't It Time -- The Babys

Neil Young—Rust Never Sleeps.

Love Will Find a Way -- Pablo Cruise

This album from start to finish.

The Journey Infinity album.

Little River Band. During the Carter administration, they had six top-20 singles on Billboard's Hot 100, including "Reminiscing" (#3), "Lady" (#10) and, (my favorite) "Lonesome Loser" (#6).

Earth, Wind & Fire's "I AM". Phenomenal album. Boogie Wonderland, Can't Let Go, After The Love is Gone, In The Stone, Star.....

I first heard this in Boogie Nights and loved it, from 1979

"Ashes to Ashes" by the late, great David Bowie

Aspie Cataloguing Pop Name-Dropper strikes again!

"Hey guys! Let's arbitrarily define music by the Presidents it was recorded under and repeat our knowledge of Moldy Pop I've already catalougued in redundant Datalounge threads for the past 10 years!"

Please F / F this pollution.

Datalounge is not an encyclopedia for autistic posters who need therapy and real-life patient peers but just want to ensnare normal humans into redundant, irrelevant conversations and Spam through the anonymity of the internet.

My first album of the Carter era, with a personal story: I interviewed Peter Allen in DC for my college radio station the week he was in town for Taught by Experts. A friend and I drove him and Gregory around DC before and after the concert. It was the weekend Carter won the election. I was miserable because my first boyfriend had broken up with me two weeks earlier, and had been listening to Taught by Experts and Linda Ronstadt's Hasten Down the Wind. Peter was the perfect person to hang around with. He told how he'd come to write some of those songs, the guy who inspired "Six Thirty, Sunday Morning," and, of course, about Liza.

r55 must gallop up and stuff his little penis against anything he sees.

It never ceases to amaze me when people feel compelled to post something on a thread they don't like, as opposed to just skipping it. Live and let live, R55. You'll have a lot less drama in your life.

Cocaine - EC

The first #1 of the 80s:

My favorite from the Little River Band, spring 1980:

Donna Summer - Lucky

Eddie Money says he wrote "Gimme Some Water" in ten minutes right after he watched a western movie.

Bee Gees - Reaching Out

A No. 5 Hit from 1978. My favorite from a Gibb.

Paging the Rita Coolidge Troll. We're All Alone, from 1978, with back-up from The Muppets.

Deeper Than The Night -ONJ. My favorite Olivia, and she never looked better.

Los Angeles by X

When Carter became president, Peter Frampton's "Frampton Comes Alive" briefly became the best-selling album of all time, eclipsing Carole King's "Tapestry". Of course, then FCA was overtaken by Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours", which was beaten by "Saturday Night Fever".

How were R114 to R119 posted?

I thought every post had to have at least 4 characters attached to the item.

Grease is the word

Four blank spaces work just as well.

Thanks R125 I never knew that.

Vacation ('80 version) - The Textones

Stellar 70s corniness - Leo Sayer

Stephen Bishop

What a great thread. I wasn't born yet, but Fleetwood comes instantly to mind. Bowie too.

R129, check out the ORIGINAL Fleetwood Mac, the British blues band. IMHO, they were much better than the Buckingham/Nicks version, way better.

r129 -- go listen to Then Play On

R131, GREAT album! RIP Peter Green. IIRC, Danny Kirwan died a few months back.

I reckon many US fans of Fleetwood Mac, have no clue they were originally a British blues band led by guitarist Peter Green. The only original members from the Buckingham/Nicks Mac were Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Before joining Fleetwood Mac, Christine McVie had her own blues band, Chickenshack, that was back when she was called Christine Perfect.

Those same US fans probably also have no clue that Santana had a huge hit with Green's song, "Black Magic Woman".

I think I have the last vinyl copy of Chickenshack, and it's odd mixes

Chicken Shack, here's a great version of "I'd Rather Go Blind".

Christine has a much better voice than Stevie 'adenoid vocals' Nicks.

I Wanna Kiss You All Over

Nick Lowe

Love this album. Still listen to it.

There's a new kid in town.

Baker Street.....Gerry Rafferty

So many of the other previously mentioned songs really brought me back to that time........I can still remember being in Southern California in 1977 and hearing LIFE IN THE FAST LANE on FM Radio.........

The Babys "Isn't it Time"

Now you parlez-vous français.

You all know this one:

Rush brilliance.

From 1978 -

The Carpenters were on the downslide after 1976, but they put out some great music. Songs like "All You Get From Love Is A Love Song", "Sweet, Sweet Smilw" and "Calling Occupants" were great.

YES Tormato 1978

Warren Zevon released his Excitable Boy album in 1978. It contained Werewolves of London and Lawyers Guns and Money.

Briefcase Full of Blues"

I think the only two band members alive are Ackroyd and Schaffer.

Slow Motion

Wang Dang Sweet Poontang

Army Dreamers

I loved this when it first arrived at the end of the Carter era, still do today. '

Loved early electropop/synth...

Are Friends Electric?

Obligatory disco Kinks song.

LOVE Lene Lovich, saw her live during the STIFF tour.

Lene's NEW TOY, with Thomas Dolby, what a great song!

"Bad Girls" - Donna Summer

Con Funk Shun - Chase Me

Another Nick Lowe memory.

DL should make a K-Tel compilation with all of these!

Human Sexual Response

"If I Can't Have You" - Yvonne Elliman

"Fire" - The Pointer Sisters

not sure why, after all these things, I kinda love r15 the most.

The beautiful David Werner. None of his three albums has EVER been issued as CDs!

Nick Lowe's ex-wife, singer Carlene Carter had an awful fall from grace. She's June Carter's daughter and was Johnny Cash's step-daughter. Carlene became a crackhead and was arrested a few times!

Carlene

(who is said to be better, now)

Is that Carlene in the Cruel to be Kind video?

Yes

Miss You - Rolling Stones

The last real soul song to hit the pop charts

The best Bee Gees

1977 all about KC

John Paul Young - Love Is in the Air (December 1977)

Lots of shitty music here, mostly from the US rock bands.

Technically Ford administration in 1976 but I think it bleeds over. Blue Oyster Cult.
