Popular Songs Of 1977, Vol. 3

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

“Sick” & “Tired” Songs, Vol. 1

I got it into my head that I would post a set of songs with either the word "Sick" or "Tired" or both in their titles. Then I started finding too many good songs that qualified. Pretty soon, I had enough songs for not one, not two, but three posts. Yes, that's right – imagine that! – I got carried away with myself again. So this is the first post, and there will be two more. I'll spread 'em out a bit, so you don't get too...wait for it..."Sick" and "Tired" of them. Enjoy?  ~  JH
