Happy New Year!

As it was 40 years ago today that 1974 got underway, I thought I would reflect on some of the best songs from that year.

I threw the list together quickly from the Top 20 book and general knowledge. So these might not be my exact top 40 from 1974. Feel free to comment or add other songs. Anyway, the ones I found are as follows:-

Mud:- Tiger Feet/ The Cat Crept In/ Rocket
Stevie Wonder:- Living for the City/ He’s Misstra Know It All
Suzi Quatro:- Devilgate Drive
Harry Chapin:- Cat’s in the Cradle/ WOLD
Alvin Stardust:- Jealous Mind/ You You You
Hot Chocolate:- Emma/ Cheri Babe
Slade:- Everyday/ The Banging Man
Sunny:- Doctor’s Orders
Abba:- Waterloo
Mungo Jerry:- Long-Legged Woman Dressed in Black

Jim Stafford:- Spiders & Snakes
Sparks:- This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us/ Amateur Hour/ Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth
Status Quo:- Break the Rules
R Dean Taylor:- There’s a Ghost in My House
Gigliola Cinquetti:- Go
Arrows:- A Touch too Much
Alan Price:- Jarrow Song
Cozy Powell:- Man in Black
Roy Wood:- Going Down the Road
10cc:- The Wall Street Shuffle/ Silly Love

Bobby Goldsboro:- Hello Summertime
Cockney Rebel:- Mr Soft
KC & the Sunshine Band:- Queen of Clubs
Andy Fairweather-Low:- Reggae Tune
