"Then Came You" is one of my favorite records of all time by two of my favorite artists of all time so I stopped reading the list at that point.

there are some awfully tempting choices here -- e.g., dreams; kiss you all over; and babe -- but i don't know how you get past midnight train to georgia.

I'm torn between probably my real answer, Then Came You, and challops/nostalgia vote for Theme From S.W.A.T.

IN THE HEAT OF A SUMMER NIIIIIGHT,
IN THE LAND OF THE DOLLAR BIIIIILLLL....

Some great songs here, of course. Nostalgia plays a big part in this. Tempted to vote for Bread, but wish it was "Everything I Own". Going to give a vote to the Manhattans, a pretty darn good R&B group that few people talk about.

jetfan, Friday, 27 December 2013 01:23 (eleven years ago)

Voted Fleetwood, who I think will take this in a walk.

Gerald McBoing-Boing, Friday, 27 December 2013 01:25 (eleven years ago)

Went for Love's Theme just ahead of Shining Star.

Kitchen Person, Friday, 27 December 2013 01:26 (eleven years ago)

"Then Came You" against a lot of flash and junk I love: "American Woman," "I Think I Love You," "One Bad Apple," "Saturday Night," "Kiss You All Over." I'm just not ready to commit yet.

clemenza, Friday, 27 December 2013 02:04 (eleven years ago)

"Dancing Queen" over "Love Train." Songs I might have voted for otherwise: "Love's Theme," "Saturday Night," "Boogie Fever," "Rock the Boat."

timellison, Friday, 27 December 2013 03:57 (eleven years ago)

thought I'd make a concurrent "solo artists" poll. some really great songs to agonize over there.

54 songs. only 50 poll slots available. ;_;

I'll do two separate polls tomorrow morning, one for each half of the decade, then a face-off.
