I heard "Jackie Blue" for the first time in eons recently on my local classic rock station. Wasn't aware they ever played it, and it REALLY sounded great. I probably would have voted for that one due to recency effect.

Forgot to vote. Lots of good stuff and a few very unfine things, as well. "Jackie Blue", "Amie", and "How Long" are among the most lustrous examples of prime AM gold and I love them dearly. I had never heard "Poetry Man" until a few years ago and it was a pleasant surprise when I did. I really enjoy the laconic way Snow ambles through it. That might've been my vote.

"Jackie Blue" fortunately hasn't been played to death for me, so I'm always happy to hear it. Plus, for as many times as I HAVE heard it, I don't know 90% of the lyrics!

There is some major AM Gold on this list, wished I had voted. Love Philadelphia Freedom. Shout out to the the Lady Marmalade voter too.

12 15 WALKING IN RHYTHM –•– The Blackbyrds (Fantasy)-11 06 12 SUPERNATURAL THING (Part 1) –•– Ben E. King (Atlantic)-11. 0
^^^ would have voted for one of these. r&b music was absolutely killing everything else in '75.

I'm shocked I was the only Lady Marmalade voter...I thought that was the clear favorite! Maybe the Moulin Rouge version soured people on the song, or it's been overplayed at wedding parties etc.
Wonder if any Top 40 station ever played "Shaving Cream" and "Autobahn" back-to-back..
