Julian Lennon sounds a lot like his father on Valotte and
he sounds like David Bowie on Now You're In Heaven. |

Redeye - Games (1971) Sounds like Crosby, Stills & Nash.

And not a hit, but Firefall's "Sweet and Sour" might be my favorite CSN song, and they're not anywhere near it. |

Yes! but the cut before it on the album 'Elan' ("Strange Way") was published by Stephen Stills Music so Stills' presence is closer than we think... "Sweet And Sour" is a great song by the way. Andy Edited by AndrewChouffi |

I was expecting an entire album's worth of "Wham Bam" when promo copies of the self-titled Silver album on Arista arrived at the distributor I was working for in 1976. Was I in for a surprise when I popped it on the turntable for an audition!
"All I Wanna Do" and "Trust In Somebody" were the two best songs that Poco never recorded. The two groups actually did have something in common: album covers designed by the late Phil Hartmann. |

I, too, was hoping the Silver album would have more songs that sounded like "Wham Bam Shang-a-Lang" and was sad that wasn't the case. I really do like the aforementioned "All I Wanna Do" and also the ballad "Memory". All 3 of these songs were the only 3 not written by the band but picked by the record company president Clive Davis. All the rest of the songs on the album were written by the band members. Which told me I really didn't like the band - just the songs that Clive chose for them. :) I mean, without those 3 songs, I really didn't like Silver at all. Maybe I shouldn't admit this in public but I think "Wham Bam Shang-a-Lang" was my #1 song of 1976! And speaking of that song, there was a certain type of poppy sound in records that I liked from 1972 (the year I started listening) to 1976. And I really felt that "Wham Bam..." was literally the last hit song that fell into that style. After that, there were still many great uptempo pop songs but none that were like my favorites from 1972-1976. I can't really put into words what that "sound" was, but I just never heard that sound again afterwards. |

I share some of the music thoughts expressed above by
EdisonLite. I feel similar about his description of "Whan Bam Shang a Lang" I would probably add Pilot and "It's Magic" and Jig Saw with "Sky High". Plus "Bad Time' by Grand Funk. If I think of any more I will find a thread title and start a new separate thread. |

I agree with all 3 of the songs that C J Brown mentions - all would fit in that style I was mentioning.

Just joining this thread:
I also thought the lead singer of "Hot Child In The City" was a woman as I did the singer of "Jackie Blue". I thought the singer Garnett Mimms of "Cry Baby" was a woman. |
