Easy listenin' in the Carter era
Eight tracks of light rock from 1976-79, including 10cc, Climax Blues Band and Little River Band.
There's some favorites here about which I really ought to be more embarrassed. AM dial nostalgia, baby.

Thanks, chucklesalmon! I'm normally a big electronic music guy but I grew up with this stuff and still love it.

Apparently, I like this mix. Just realized I've restarted it a few times! By the way, missed you at the reunion.

Yeah, Stevie and Heart definitely rock out too much for the easy listenin' tag. Some of ELO's "Sweet Talkin' Woman" would've fit the bill perfectly! Excellent choice on the 10cc.

@personadondada Thx on the 10cc - I've loved that track for years but didn't know what it was. Heard it again last year at, like, a Walgreens and then googled my way to the title : )

Dude! I grew up with this shit, too! Mayfield High School Class of 1978. 10cc was the best! Check out out their extended remix of I'm Not In Love, it's amazing! And try not to forget that life is a minestrone, served up with parmesan cheese, and that death is a cold lasagna, suspended in deep freeze! :^)

On hearing the first few chords of the LRB, I realized that I was being sucked back into the time machine; so I had to hit the pause button before it was too late. I will wait 'til I'm at home and the wife and kids are asleep, then I'll slip on my headphones and fall through to memory lane, hoping to relive some of the feelings and memories and to come back to my current reality when I wake in the morning. Thanks in advance.

You're welcome! That track does in particular bring back memories of long, long ago (perhaps since the title is about just that). At least for me, more innocent and carefree times.

Indeed it was. Sometimes wish I could time-travel back for a month : )

I love this mix. Nothing better than '70s studio artistry.
