Fireball's Fantastic 500 (2024 Edition) -- Late 1970s, Part 1

[Pastor Fireball]

It's on to the disco era of my list, but don't expect a lot of disco songs to show up.

This year, I'll be saying goodbye to these eight songs that slipped below #500.

#81. I'm Not in Love, 10cc (1975)
#80. Wasted Days and Wasted Nights, Freddy Fender (1975)
#76. Let's Do It Again, the Staple Singers (1975)
#72. Peg, Steely Dan (1977)
#71. This Masquerade, George Benson (1976)
#69. Times of Your Life, Paul Anka (1975)
#68. Goodbye Girl, David Gates (1977)
#63. It's Over, Boz Scaggs (1976)

Despite those eight drops and the transfer of "Long Tall Glasses" to the preceding list, my Late 1970s section still managed to get a little fatter. This list went up from 81 songs to 83 songs. There will be ten new entries and one transfer. Let's start the show!
