Negative Positive
Title: Reflective of it's time, I guess
Review: Mediocrity was pretty much the order of the day on the singles chart in 1978, and this collection pretty much reflects such. Raydio's "Jack and Jill," and A Taste of Honey's "Boogie Ooggie Ooggie" are the only flat out stinkers here and at the other end of the spectrum Patti Smith's "Because the Night" is the only ture gem. Nothing else here is essential, although both Paul Davis's "I Go Crazy," and Bob Welch's "Sentimental Lady" add a little pleasant counterweight to this otherwise disco heavy collection. Missing from this disc are "Just What I Needed" and "My Best Friend's Girl" from The Cars, and Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" which spent 6 weeks peaking at #2 in the summer of 1978.
