Please rate the following out of 10. If you don't know a song, please look it up on Youtube before voting.
I'll tot the scores up at the end to see which is Havens favourite #1 of 1977. I'll probably leave it open until the new year, to make sure we get everyones votes.
n.b. Where the single is listed as a double A side, I have gone for the "lead" of the two.

I suppose "Angelo" has to go down as a guilty pleasure. Maybe "Float On" too, which at least showcases genuine talent. "Way Down" is reputed to have the lowest note ever committed to a 45.
