Having gone chronologically, I was limited with my closer, but this is an amazing song to finish a great challenge.

Hey y'all prepare yourself for...
The Spinners - The Rubberband Man (1976)
With the news that 50 points is going to be needed, this will likely fall short - which is a shame. Another song that always makes me smile.

Another group struggling for a consensus pick?
Steely Dan - Rikki Don't Lose That Number (1974)
Giving a nod to Horace Silver's Song For My Father which might have made my list if I could have found it as a single.

Ann Peebles - I Can't Stand the Rain (1973)
Putting my list together, I half expected this to be with my lesser known picks (like days 19 and 23). I must have been living under a rock!
Thank Missy Elliot I guess.

Stevie Wonder - Superstition (1972)
I was in a right old quandary about which way to go with my early 70s Stevie pick - but I was always sure whichever one won out was getting my last bonus point.
11 points please!

Slightly out of order with this one as I had written down the album release date in my list.

Elton John - Tiny Dancer (1972)
A week ago I apologised thinking I was vote splitting Sly&TFS but that turned out ok. Quick search as I post this, and it looks like I'm really not helping with my Elton pick. Soz.

Minnie Riperton - Les Fleurs (1972)
It's been nice seeing this one pop up a few times in other lists. I'm a sucker for a song that builds.

Well I did apologise for a couple of dad-coded picks in advance. We don't always get to pick the songs that mean the most to us do we?
Longer version is the one for me.

My 12 pointer
Spent 30 minutes on this post trying to justify why this tops my list, but do I need to? No piece of music makes me smile every time I hear it like that intro. ❤️ this so much.

The Five Stairsteps - O-o-h Child (1970)
This ones got quite the list of notable covers and being used in films - brilliant in Boyz N The Hood and my son's favourite from GOTG. Great song no matter how many times i hear it.
