In this episode of 'Past Tens: A Top 10 Time Machine,' hosts Dave and Milt explore the Billboard Top 10 hits from October 1974. They spotlight tracks like Bad Company's 'Can’t Get Enough,' Elton John’s 'The Bitch is Back,' and Stevie Wonder's 'You Haven’t Done Nothin’. The episode is peppered with personal stories, plans for Disney World, a shout-out to a devoted listener Tom Carey, and a playful segment on songs named after days of the week. The hosts provide interesting snippets about artists like Cat Stevens and Cheech and Chong, and offer a comedic take on the quirky 70s TV variety show moments. They also critique the era's music, including Olivia Newton-John's soulless bowl of crap 'I Honestly Love You' and Billy Preston's awesome 'Nothing from Nothing,' while reminiscing about variety show misfires like the Star Wars Christmas Special.
