What are some old tunes you like that would be considered AM radio fodder? Here's a couple I liked as a pre-teen (and it was on AM too).

Most excellent - they opened for the Bee Gees in Oakland in 1976 (pre-Fever craze), so I was able to see them in person. Great song.

Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-YBMT81uqY

They opened for John Denver in 1977 (I believe that was the year), and if I'm not mistaken Bill and Taffy Danoff were in the group. They had worked with John on a few albums.

I actually thought they were excellent live!

It's funny how some of those songs stuck with you and some didn't. Another one I still love is America's Sister Goldenhair.
