What is my favourite song from 1976 (at the moment anyway) is on here, and that is "Mississippi". The days before punk (didn't really) blew it all away were often country rock and disco tinged and there are plenty of examples of both here to enjoy.

Best of Top of the Pops '76
Ah 1976 the heady year that saw the beginning of punk... not that you will find any on this covers compilation of course. The songs reflected genuine chart interest in any case and not what the NME said was cool, thus we have the likes of ABBA's "Mama Mia" and an amazing version of Queen's "Bohemian rhapsody". Indeed this cover version is very good and much more adventurous than the likes of "Under the moon of love" though thats done well too, but the original is not exactly one of my favourites...
