Casey Kasem's American Top 40 - The 70s

I'm surprised these 2 rockers haven't been picked by others, especially the Moody Blues classic

26. Rare Earth - I Just Want to Celebrate (↓9)*
23. Moody Blues - The Story in Your Eyes
 
The Story In Your Eyes, written by Justin Hayward, is one of my favorite Moody Blues songs. Mister scotch, did you ever hear the 2011 remake by Fountains Of Wayne? It was a bonus track on their Sky Full Of Holes album – but only in Japan. それは不公平です!

Wow, so you gave it a listen and you still don’t recognize it?

What about “All Right Now” by Free ?
Click to expand...
Well, I did just listen to it and I do recognize it. I wouldn't change the channel for it but it does nothing for me.

I like "All Right Now".
 
All Right Now, a #4 hit for Free in October 1970, was written by lead singer Paul Rodgers and bassist Andy Fraser. Fraser quit the group in 1972 and formed a quartet called the Sharks. Free broke up in 1973 and Rodgers formed Bad Company in 1974. All Right Now has been recorded by more than 70 artists including Rod Stewart, Garth Brooks, Lea Roberts, Maxwell Plumm, the Alarm and the Runaways. Here is Puddle Of Mudd's version from their 2011 CD Re(Disc)overed.

 
Puddle of Mudd? A little Pepto should take care of that for you.

They didn’t add anything to make that recording any better. It sounds like a typical cover band. The singer is singing through his nose and the guitar had a vasectomy. (It’s got no balls…..)
