I was watching an episode of Gilmore Girls just now, and it's Lorelei's birthday and Lane's in charge of the music, and she says she's picking one song from every year that she was alive, but that she couldn't find one for 1974. She says it's a lame music year, and that it makes the year of the Macarena look good. I'd like to beg to differ, and offer this list of

Songs Released in 1974 That Kick The Macarena's Ass (In Alphabetical Order):

Already Gone- The Eagles
Another Saturday Night- Cat Stevens' cover of the Sam Cooke song
Band on the Run- Paul McCartney and Wings
Bennie and the Jets- Elton John
Best of My Love- The Eagles
Diamond Dogs- David Bowie
Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me- Elton John
Forever Young- Bob Dylan (My brother Max's favorite of this list.)
I Shot the Sheriff- Eric Clapton's cover
It's Only Rock and Roll (But I Like It)- The Rolling Stones
Jet- Paul McCartney and Wings
The Joker- Steve Miller Band (Oh god, remember the That 70's Show musical?)
Killer Queen- Queen
Let it Ride- Bachman-Turner Overdrive
No Woman, No Cry- Bob Marley and the Wailers
Oh Very Young- Cat Stevens (Written about the Day The Music Died tragedy.)
Piano Man- Billy Joel
The Real Me- The Who (Doctor, DOCTOR.)
Same Old Song and Dance- Aerosmith
Sundown- Gordon Lightfoot (heyo, Canada)
Sweet Home Alabama- Lynard Skynard
Takin' Care of Business- Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Whatever Gets You Thru The Night- John Lennon ('74 was also Lennon's last big concert appearance, in November with Elton John)
Working Man- Rush
You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet- Bachman-Turner Overdrive (b-b-b-baby)

In conclusion: Shut it, Lane Kim. She could probably have found at LEAST one song on that list that was either good or just perfectly ironic enough to use for Lorelei's mix.

This list is of songs RELEASED in 1974. And they're only ones that I like. Anyone got any to add to the list?

Am I the only one who actually thinks that Lorelei and Christopher were meant to be together? It's a weird phenomenon for me... I actually think that Christopher is the man for Lorelei, end of story, at the exact same time as I think that Luke is the man for Lorelei, end of story. They're both her soulmates, in my head. And when I'm watching Christopher and Lorelei onscreen, I'm saying fiercely, "it's STUPID that they don't end up together". When I'm watching Lorelei and Luke, I'm saying fiercely, "just get TOGETHER already, jeeeeeeez." It's weird. In any case, the Lorelei/Luke storyline is pretty much the best will they/won't they TV plot of all time. Move over, The Office. They made us wait for this one.

Jess, though, I will always and forever love. I hold him as the number one person Rory should be with, despite my Jared love. No matter how much I love Jared Padalecki, for some reason when I look at Dean, all I can see is Dean. I don't like Dean! Some people don't like Jess, and that's fine, but I don't like Dean. He's not for Rory. He's nothing like Rory. Rory needs somebody smarter than Dean. Someone quirky, like her. And Jess is it. Dean and Rory talk about nothing, and it's annoying.
