It was too long a song to make the charts, apparently, but I always loved JULY MORNING by them. KILLER !!!!

Definitely a GREAT song !! Killer harmonies !!!

Does anybody here remember WELLS FARGO, by a British band called Babe Ruth ?? It is a hard rock song, with almost a disco beat, that was all over FM radio in mid-seventies. Louisville folks might remember it blaring on WLRS as the background song on ad spots for TROUBADOUR, a very popular nightclub in Hikes Point !! Those were the days ... !!

C'mon... the Dead weren't one hit wonders. Truckin' was a good song too.

For me Ina-Gadda-Da-Vida.

This is a cool thread ... thx !!

 

[megablue]

Certainly not a rock song, like the vast majority here, but this catchy tune was #1 in 1984 and I don't recall anything else by them.

For me Ina-Gadda-Da-Vida.

Wait a minute, that sounds like rock and/or roll!

If you were referring to my post, by definition, they were. Source: Vh1’s Pop up video.

Does Rick Pitino in Porcini's count?

 

[Glenn's take]

Flock of Seagulls - And I Ran

Space Age Love Song

 

[K86]

Since John Mellencamp's entire catalog is one song, does that count?
