I also love some of those mentioned by the rest of you (Brandy, Wildflower, Romeo's Tune - I saw Steve Forbert in concert last night , One Toke Over The Line, I've Never Been To Me, Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues). Here's my addition to the current list:

1. Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum
2. O-o-h Child - The Five Stairsteps
3. One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack) - Coven
4. Fooled Around and Fell In Love - Elvin Bishop
5. Magnet and Steel - Walter Egan
6. Cruel To Be Kind - Nick Lowe
7. For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield (OK, so we know what happened to this group - the individuals went on to have major success in various other configurations and groups, but it is a shame that these egos couldn't sustain this great configuration of talent to have more than one "hit")
8. Keep On Smilin' - Wet Willie
9. In The Year 2525 - Zager & Evans
10. Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
11. The Captain Of Her Heart - Double (I always thought of this song as kind of a sequal to Brandy - check out the lyrics to the two songs and see if you agree)
12. Painted Ladies - Ian Thomas
13. Mr Big Stuff - Jean Knight
14. Signs - Five Man Electrical Band
15. Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks (I know it's a bit syrupy, but I still like it)

LOL, my list definitely gives away my age - I was a radio-listening teen in the 70s and 80s.
