| | Billboard Top Hits 1975 CD
Billboard Top Hits: 1975 has a cross-section of soft rock (particularly Californian soft rock) and disco hits, all of which are nostalgia items for children of the '70s. Some of these songs -- like Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together," Jigsaw's "Sky High," Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds' "Fallin' in Love," and Neil Sedaka's "Bad Blood" -- are nothing more than nostalgia pieces, but there are a surprising number of songs that are pop gems, such as America's "Sister Golden Hair," Linda Ronstadt's "When Will I Be Loved," the Ozark Mountain Daredevils' "Jackie Blue," KC & the Sunshine Band's "Get Down Tonight," and Elton John's "Island Girl" and "Philadelphia Freedom." The gems and the kitsch blend together to form a pretty accurate picture of Top 40 radio in 1975. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Billboard Top Hits 1975 Music Billboard Top Hits 1975 Songs | 1. | Sister Golden Hair - America |

Purchase Billboard Top Hits 1975 CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Tom Petty Live Anthology CDs (2009)
Billboard Top Hits 1975 album
 $19.98  
It's a commonly held opinion among fans and band alike that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' lone live album, 1986's Pack Up the Plantation, didn't quite capture the group at its peak, so there has been a long-standing need for another live set, which 2009's Live Anthology finally provides. Like its closest cousin, Bruce Springsteen's Live 1975-1985, Live Anthology almost overcompensates for the long wait by offering almost too much music, cherrypicking highlights from 1978 to 2007. In its simplest incarnation, Live Anthology is a super-affordable, four-disc box set running 48 tracks, which is eight cuts longer than Springsteen's box, plenty long enough for most fans, but in its deluxe version, available only through Best Buy, there's an additional CD, plus two previously unreleased DVDs -- a 1978 New Years Eve concert ...

Billboard Top Hits 1975 CD music
$11.17   
It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." Mayer remains somewhat of a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest ...

| | Paul Kantner Blows Against The Empire CD (1970) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Billboard Top Hits 1975 album
$7.59 
Jefferson Airplane guitarist Paul Kantner's first solo album is also credited to Jefferson Starship. Though the Jefferson Airplane was still active and popular in 1971, Kanter presaged the band's transformation into the Starship by four years. Members of the Airplane do appear, but the group here is more a loose aggregate of friends including David Crosby and Graham Nash, members of the Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service, and assorted others.
A sci-fi fan, Kantner had the idea of constructing an album around the idea of a group of radicals hijacking a spaceship and taking off to colonize the galaxy. Though the concept is fleshed out only loosely, the album was a success critically and commercially. Highlights include the slower acoustic melodies such as "A Child Is Coming" and "Have You Seen The Stars Tonite." Musically interesting and noteworthy for the collaborative energy from some of the San Francisco scene's leading musical lights, BLOW AGAINST THE EMPIRE is an intriguing, overlooked early-'70s treasure.
As concept albums go from the classic rock era, Blows Against the Empire by Paul Kantner and his new construction Jefferson Starship -- an amalgam more than a band at the time -- put together a true curiosity piece, loosely centered around the theme of young people leaving a dead planet. With the birth of Grace Slick's and Kantner's child on the way to add the flavor of "newness" into the mix, Blows is certainly an oddity. Kantner and Slick formed the core of the band with help from Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzman and Mickey Hart (from the Grateful Dead), David Crosby and Graham Nash from CS&N, and alternating bassists Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane) and Harvey Brooks. Kantner and Slick wrote the majority of the songs here, but folkie Rosalie Sorrels contributed "The Baby Tree." Crosby and the rest also wrote some of the tunes, making the entire thing seem like a raw, impromptu communal effort -- which, in a sense, it was. Entirely at odd angles with itself, some of the Airplane's more modal melodies haunt songs like "Mau Mau (Amerikon)," and "Hijack," while Slick, Crosby, and Kantner's "A Child Is Coming" is simply a beautiful, slightly surreal ballad, while odd, textured sounds come from the ether -- mainly courtesy of Garcia's otherworldly pedal steel. A record ...
