Saddest Song of 70s??

Was my mother's favorite song back in the day.

 

I love Edmund Fitzgerald's voice.

 

Don't you remember
You told me
You love me, baby?

(Can't shake the song now)

 

"Up the Junction" - Squeeze

 

Great song. I remember walking to the shopping plaza to buy the single.

 

"Superstar" was about Clapton? Wow.

Karen Carpenter had a beautiful voice and she was a pretty good drummer.

I still can't listen to more than one Carpenters song at a time before the proto-emo nature of their catalog gets to me. In my spare time I'm going through my CDs and cataloging what stays on Librarything. After listening to "The Singles" from start to finish, it went to the go-away pile. It's a 42 minute menstrual cramp.

 

OK, that literally made me LOL.

 

Used to be amused when Karen Carpenter would be voted best rock drummer in the Playboy music poll

 

I am a bad person because this song cracks me up in the wierdest way. fucking Patches can't catch a break. He's like Gil from The Simpsons in song mode.

 

First lines were pulled directly from a Newsweek article.

Great and haunting song.
