Reached the point where I don't much care now. None of these do I play these days, conversely I'd not feel an overwhelming desire to shoot anyone that put them on either. Black hole duties it is then.

Rubber Bullets is on my old ipod that only works in the docking station in the kitchen but it is where I listen to most of my music so that is a top contender

 

Most of those left are at worst OK

Luckily the female voices are much more represented in the second half of the 70's: Tammy Wynette, ABBA, Tina Charles, (Brotherhood of Man), Kiki Dee, Pussycat, Julie Covington, (Manhattan Transfer), Deniece Williams, Donna Summer, Baccara, Althea & Donna, Kate Bush, Boney M., Olivia Newton-John, Blondie, Gloria Gaynor, Anita Ward, (Buggles), Lena Martell and the Bee Gees.
