fred I was reading JK's thread about Abba and it got me reminiscing about the late 70's. Has there ever been a better time for singles? Genres such as punk, disco and rock were all melding into so many great 7 inch singles I really think it was the peak of the top 40 (now sadly deceased imho)
If you don't believe me just look at the number ones:
READ THIS LIST SLOWLY AND THINK!:

1978
Althia & Donna Up Town Top Ranking
Brotherhood Of Man Figaro
Abba Take A Chance On Me
Kate Bush Wuthering Heights
Brian & Michael Matchstalk Men & Matchstalk Cats & Dogs
The Bee Gees Night Fever
Boney M Rivers Of Babylon
John Travolta & Olivia Newton John You're The One That I Want
The Commodores Three Times A Lady
10cc Dreadlock Holiday
John Travolta & Olivia Newton John Summer Nights
Boomtown Rats Rat Trap
Rod Stewart Da Ya Think I'm Sexy
Boney M Mary's Boy Child-Oh My Lord

1979
The Village People Y.M.C.A.
Ian Dury & The Blockheads Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick
Blondie Heart Of Glass
Bee Gees Tragedy
Art Garfunkel Bright Eyes
Blondie Sunday Girl
Anita Ward Ring My Bell
Tubeway Army Are Friends Electric?
The Boomtown Rats I Don't Like Mondays
Cliff Richard We Don't Talk Anymore
Gary Numan Cars
The Police Message In A Bottle
The Buggles Video Killed The Radio Star
Lena Martell One Day At A Time
Dr Hook When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman
The Police Walking On The Moon
Pink Floyd Another Brick In The Wall

Seriously that is one amazing list! (apart from Figaro!) Most of the songs have been covered and a fair few of them have been back to number one again whether in a cover - eg Steps/Boyzone or heavily sampled like when the Sugababes used Are Friends Electric for Freak like Me. Thinks are worse now there's no doubt about it. Songs - that's the problem!
