My 1977 (part 4)

My musical year 1977 with all the songs I like and only the songs I Iike. It seems my favorite year, so yes: part 5 and there's one more to follow! Some songs I only discovered while putting this mix together. The order is not a ranking but just the result of how the songs flow, blend and mix. Part 5 goes from mainstream (Euro-)pop via country, retro rock 'n roll, and even zydeco to soft rock and easy listening - with bits of Dutch thrown in here and there and even Afrikaans: Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers, Francis Goya, Steely Dan, Los Alegres, Dutch Rhythm Steel & Show Band, Emmylou Harris, Rosy & Andres, Thembi (in Afrikaans), Maggie McNeal, Albert West, Showaddywaddy, Long Tall Ernie & The Shakers, Air Bubble, The Scorpions, Clifton Chenier, Stars in the Sky, Neil Diamond, Rob de Nijs, Tony Wilson, Climax Blues Band, David Dundas, James & Bobby Purify, Barry Biggs, Scott Fitzegerald & Yvonne Keeley, DC Lewis (in Dutch), Heddy Lester, Loeki Knol (both Dutch Eurovision), Joe Dolan, Debbie, Yvonne Elliman, Stevie Wonder, Andy Gibb, Sandra, The Carpenters, Chicago, David Soul, Jackson 6, Donna Summer, Jigsaw, Guys 'n Dolls, Pussycat, Bee Gees, Kenny Rogers, Adriano Celentano, Rita Hovink (Eurovision), Carly Simon, The Manhattans, Player, Chicago

My 1977 (part 5)

Finally: the end of the mix! Softrock, slow beats, ballads, country, film music, and finishing on a silly note!

My 1977 (last)

After 1977, my all time favorite year in music, I decided to put together a "megalomix" of 1987, my year with the least number of songs I like (350 in 1977 - only 159 in 1987!). Not that there wasn't any great music, just less of it. Well, according to my taste.
However, I need an unlimited upload account to do that and I am waiting to see what soundcloud does with a claim of Univrsl Music Grp that I used a song that I have never even heard of! Soundcloud has taken down the mix that Univrsl Music Grp says includes this song that I do not even know exists but that I am supposed to have included. Huh ?!?!?
So, for now only 14 minutes of "My 1987" It starts with Mata Hari (I love that song!), then Taffy and includes Pet Shop Boys, Mel & Kim, KLF, Five Star, Koto and more.
oh - and by the way: I had 14 minutes left. So I uploaded 14 minutes. And Souncloud now hid my first post because I am over the limit. WHAT A CRAP SERVICE THIS IS!!!
