If you just took a glance at all the songs in this series at once, you might think it was a compilation of some of the best songs of the 1970s. Which it is. With one glaring exception. All these great songs came out and were hits in the SAME year! It's almost ridiculous how good of a year 1977 was for music. So let's revel in the ridiculous a little bit more! ~ JH
