What gets your vote for Record of the Year at the 1976 Grammy Awards?

[OldFeller]

Don't look it up. Looking it up will ruin the whole experience here.
I'm trying to gauge your opinion versus what the Grammy Awards decided.
Be sure to vote even if you're leaving a comment.
Once you've voted and are curious who the Grammy went to look here:

I'm going with the Eagles... don't really care if they won or not... I loved everything they did.

 

[Feelslikefar]

Lyin' Eyes was my choice, but 'At Seventeen' was very close.

Janis Ian did get a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance that year.

After we got thru the 60’s, and Woodstock, and that crazy period in time, the country seemed to reflect a more relaxed, subdued time.

The '70’s music reflected that feeling ..… all the above songs fell into that.

 

[That Lady in PA]

I know but I won't ruin the fun.
FAR better was album of the year - by Paul Simon

 

[hollydolly]

Is that the only choice ?

In that case ''Lyin' eyes''


I absolutely hated the Captain and Tenille one.. my daughter had just been born, we were in the middle of huge heatwave in the UK.. temps up to 100 degrees.. I'd just got married, we'd just moved to another part of the country.. and that damn song was getting played everywhere

wow.. I can think of better songs for that year....

In the UK 1976 Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen won best record of the year

 

[OldFeller]

I would've voted for the Eagles. I still listen to that song today.

 

[hollydolly]

It's probably going to be the worst of the bunch, the horrendous Capt & Tenille song..I'll bet...

That song is a cover of a song written in 1973 by Neil Sedaka...not even an original.

It seems that I remember hearing "Mandy" on the radio, over and over and over again... but I think that mighta' been '75... can't remember.

"Lying Eyes" seems to have picked up a following in '76/'77 and years following... so I'm stuck.

All the songs were released in 1975. But the Awards shows are always looking at the previous year releases of both music and movies.

Okay... then my guess would have to be "Mandy".
No booing please.

Make sure to click it in the poll above so we can tally the votes. I like Barry Manilow and I had at least one of his albums when I was in college.

I voted for Janis Ian ‘At 17’ as this was a real important milestone for girls and because Janis Ian is very underrated IMO.

Great lyrics.

 

[Pepper]

Lying eyes my personal favorite. One of my all time favorites

No booing please.

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

I voted for At 17 bc it's my favorite of those listed. Prolly not the winner tho, I know how those Grammys go.

 

[Paladin1950]

Only one worth voting for.

 

[hollydolly]

Who was it then?... before we all look it up ...
