Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

That Angel track was interesting as it sounded sorta like some sort of random John Wetton type thing or another.

Danne D:
As a total aside this set has randomly jarred my memory to remind me of the very first record I technically owned (in the sense that one of my siblings said I could have it) was a Beach Boys 45" that has long since disappeared from my posseession. I don't remember the a-side but I vaguely remember the b-side as being something called "Funky Christmas" - you can pretty much figure out the time frame that THAT record must be from :)

It appears the song is "Funky New Year" by the Eagles.
And yep....it was the Eagles.
It was this record:
