In The Year 2525 is one of the best singles ever, ever releasedin my opinion. I still have my original single of it, bought with pocket money when I wasrather young.

What about The Archies' "Sugar Sugar", which was the #1 song of that year?

It's one of those campy songs most people like. But it was definitely on the edge of some bad bubblegum music.

I kind of like "Little Woman" because it
is
so bad. I make Mrs Valentine laugh when I sing it to her. She has a great laugh.
I would have included the Puckett atrocity but he has been on too many of my "Worst Of" lists lately.

Plastic Ono Band - Give Peace A Chance
Karen Young - Nobody's Child
Lulu - Boom Bang-a-bang

"Give Peace a Chance" is such a brain damage inducing song. Out of that list, I believe "In the Year 2525" is the only song that I enjoy and it's not what I'd consider a great single by any measure.

I saw 2 songs which I disagree with-Holly Holy-Neil Diamond and Bad Moon Rising-CCR. I think the CCR song is really good.
You may be right, I might be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you are looking for!

This might be a dumb question, but was "Cherry Hill Park" from my late beautiful precious Billy Joe Royal over looked? It was released in 1969.
God bless you and his family always!!!
Holly
P.S. In my opinion, not being considered at all period for any kind of list is worse than being a part of a bad one. (nodding)
Check out my most favorite singer, James Otto, when you can! I love him SO much!!! (smiles)

Probably 40 on the top 100 from this year that I don't know or don't remember well enough, but I don't care for these two:
Tommy James & the Shondells - "Crimson & Clover"
Tommy James & the Shondells - "Crystal Blue Persuasion"
