PEAK MUSIC 1975

 

his is a series that will attempt to Sport(ify) music by creating a 5 member All-Pro/All League/All Star team (Sort of like the NBA first team all-stars) for each year in Music starting with 1964. It will rely heavily on Top 20 Hits from the year but also take into account Concert Tours, Music awards, Music Videos (MTV Crowd-You Tube), TV, Films, Pop Culture etc….. 

1975

There was a flip at the top

John Denver 5 top twenty hits including 2 number ones

Elton John 3 top five hits including 2 number hits

Eagles – 2 top two hits including number 1 "One of these nights"

KC Sunshine Band – 2 number one hits including number one "Get down tonight"

Jefferson Starship 1 top ten hit  (a personal favorite) "Miracles"

There may have been some choices at number five as Chicago and Wings both had 2 top twenty hits.

I was also surprised that Ringo Starr from 1971 to 1975 had seven top ten hits - which seems remarkable after his run with the Beatles and him being considered the least talented Beatle -  but for PEAK MUSIC he was unable to break in on any year.
