![]() ![]() The band with one of the whitest names ever, Bread, returns with Lost Without Your Love. Also, the vocals aren’t that good in this song. Even worse is that the instrumentation sounds like Disney trying their hand at disco, adding to the sappiness. It’s one thing to be hyperbolic, but when you start talking like you’re in a low-rate Disney cartoon, you’re going a bit too far. That sounds like some saccharine shit right here. So we have a guy who’s all depressed and feels badly about himself when suddenly, he comes across a girl who turns his life around and makes him so happy that he suddenly believes in magic. You Made Me Believe In Magic is not that song. I don’t have any strong feelings about Bay City Rollers, though I do like one of their songs. We start off with one of the corniest songs I might have heard, which is saying something. Let’s look at the worst music that came out of 1977. Nothing wrong with having slower songs every now and then, but this is ridiculous. But then the ballads pop right back up like a pimple and slow things down. Disco was still going strong and it’s going to get a boost thanks to the release of Saturday Night Fever, which will impact the charts in 1978 (we’ll get to that). Don’t get me wrong, it was a decent year, but it didn’t have the same variety or quality as the previous year. With a year as great as 1976, there was no way 1977 was going to live up to that hype.
