The Number One Songs of 1976



Of course I remember all of these songs; 1976 was the year I graduated from high school. They made such a big deal out of us being "bicentennial seniors." It's hard to believe it's been that long. Anyway, none of these songs were particular favorites of mine, since I was quite into album rock, even if it came on an 8-track. But you couldn't escape hearing them, because the radio was always on. 

"Play That Funky Music" hold particular memories. I went to college that fall in a state where the drinking age was 18. I was only 17, but no one checked IDs. No matter what bar you were in, the band played that same song, because everyone danced to it.
