What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's?
Roxy54-Not a problem, appreciate your input! 
What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's?
Donnie Iris-"Leah" peaked at #29(Billboard) in 1980. "Love is Like a Rock" hit #37 in 1981. Dobie Grey had a 1965 #13 hit "The In-Crowd" and another Top 40 song "You Can Do It" in 1979. FWIW- "Black Betty" does qualify as a true 1970's 1-hit wonder. 
It Was 40 Years Ago Today...
Bdp24-Great post. I would like to add and simplify, regarding your comments. Dylan and the Beatles created/influenced the singer songwriter genre. The Kinks/Steppenwolf/Blue Cheer helped create "arena rock". The Who/The Doors/The Animals/Pink Floy...

"Drift Away" and "Black Betty" are good choices but(IMO) don't enter my top ten. Gerry Rafferty had a mega #2 Billboard hit "Baker Street" in case you forgot? "Feelings" not a bad choice(don't like song)but have no problem with it being a top ten ...

Whatthe-IMO a major issue with Springsteen is his (outdated?) blue-collar marketing image which some still put to much emphasis on. A mega millionaire is still capable of writing great songs about the down and out.

The River might be the equal of Born To Run? Point Blank is one of his best! 
Songs that Inspire or Move you
Too many to list! Here are 2 songs that I just recently "spun" that are completely at opposite ends of the spectrum.Don McLean-The GraveChuck Mangione-Land of Make Believe(Esther Satterfield) 
Snobbiest audio websites
Believe it or not IMO the snob factor is disappearing in HEA. In the past 5 years after the great recession(2007-10) the mega-buck guys(100k+ systems) that remain are in HEA more for the music then bragging rights. To answer the question... I woul... 
Clayton Audio - Alive and very well
Audiobrian-Thx for the info! The S40/S100 is now on a short list of possible amp upgrades. 
Clayton Audio - Alive and very well
I have always considered Clayton Audio(heard a S40 many years ago) as a great left field option. But there have been numerous reports(not everyone lies) about a very audible transformer hum. I hope this issue has been resolved so Clayton Audio can... 
looking for a new cd player........
Zd1542-There are some nice sounding Sony ES units from the mid 90's - early 2000's too many models(to long ago) for me to be specific. With a budget of $500 the options for a true hi-end player are very limited. I have NOT heard the Rotel 1072 it ... 
looking for a new cd player........
Kennesawjet- At $500 look for the best(sound/condition) Sony ES player regardless of age. It might take some time but $500 might be enough to find a working mint Proceed or EAD player? 
looking for a new cd player........
If cost is a major factor search for a used North Star-Sapphire. Your comments have me believe you want to stay away from a soft-hazy/lazy type of CDP. The Sapphire has excellent deep tight bass control, fast dynamics and enough detail without giv... 
Rotel seperates to Anthem integrated 225?
I have read many posts from owners that claim the Anthem 225 is a "paper lion"! I have not heard the unit but this raises a huge red flag. If you need a lot of power/current look into a Valve Audio Predator(my amp) far from perfect but better then...
