This was more about the writers than the musicians.

Only 31/100 albums make my list. Most of that comes from the 60's, 70's and 80s, I'm not even sure who some of the later groups and artists were. I would have added a couple more Bowie albums and Night at the Opera by Queen on the list also.
Thank you for the tag @dabbe #ThreeListThursday

dabbe I think only 1 Bowie made the list. 😱 And where was Queen? And more Led Zepp? I've got tons of new albums now to listen to! 🤩😂😀 6mo

For me, it's a tie between Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes and Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band. Both songs make me want to switch the dial immediately!! Also, Escape is probably the most unrealistic song about infidelity ever written. #tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude

TieDyeDude Ha, I re-watched an episode of It's Always Sunny recently where they were arguing about Escape being a Jimmy Buffett song 😅 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wahj_Dexhxw

Solid choices. “Thanks“ for playing 😉

Megabooks I‘ve always found both these songs funny! 6mo
AlaMich I was a kid when Afternoon Delight was on the radio…never had a clue what the title referred to! 😂 6mo

Leftcoastzen Eewww! Agree 6mo
Ruthiella Oh, I love both those songs. They remind me of being 10 years old and having no clue what either song was really about. 😆 6mo
CarolynM I agree Escape is completely unrealistic, but I thought it was kinda cute when I first heard it. My 24yo daughter, however, is appalled by it🤣 6mo
