CHARLIE'S ANGELS OPENING CREDITS

     My all-time favorite tv show from the 70s is hands down "Charlie's Angels".  This show caught my attention like no other, and I watched it faithfully up until the last Tanya Roberts episode.  Of course, you can't beat the original cast in Season One (Farrah, Kate, and Jaclyn), but I do love me some Cheryl Ladd, who did an amazing job in her own right.  I did give Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts a chance, and didn't dislike them... but let's be real, some of the magic had dimmed by that point.

WATERLOO BY ABBA

     It just wouldn't be the 70s without ABBA, and in 1974 they burst onto the music scene with their massive debut hit, "Waterloo".  The song hit #1 in many countries, and became a top ten hit in the US.  "Waterloo" would eventually sell over 6 million copies, making it one of the most successful songs ever.  This is classic ABBA and the start of an amazing career and legacy by the European supergroup.  The song is also a definitive representation of Europop at its finest.  But then again, pretty much all of ABBA's songs are.
