So there's guy who calls himself Todd in the Shadows. He does video reviews of today's pop songs. One time, though, he did a list of his Top Ten Worst Songs of 1976:

#10: Henry Gross - "Shannon"
#9: Captain and Tennille - "Shop Around"
#8: Chicago - "If You Leave Me Now"
#7: Dr. Hook - "Only Sixteen"
#6: Silver Convention - "Get Up and Boogie"
#5: Rick Dees - "Disco Duck"
#4: John Travolta - "Let Her In"
#3: Barry Manilow - "I Write The Songs"
#2. C.W. Mcall - "Convoy"
#1. Starland Vocal Band - "Afternoon Delight"
What he does in the video is bring up The Beach Boys and draw the connections between them and Henry Gross, Captain and Tennille and Barry Manilow (he calls "Rock and Roll Music" the unofficial #11 on the list). But there was another very important connection that he missed:
