Theme from S.W.A.T. is criminally overlooked, first theme from a tv show to hit #1 and a staple at roller rinks back in the day.

1977, 7 classics:
Hotel California, Rich Girl, I'm Your Boogie Man, Keep It Comin' Love, Fly Like An Eagle, Don't Stop, Star Wars theme
I always say the late 70s is my favorite era for music because of punk and new wave, but I guess all of that was still underground back then. Most of the songs here are ones I either dislike or think so little of that I can’t even form an opinion.
Don't Stop
ew, I like some FM songs but that one makes me sick
