You have to be kidding with the most hated band. People love Edison Lighthouse and Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes. I was a teenager in the 1970's. The most hated music was the overplayed long winded crap the DJ's played over and over again like Journey, etc.
I listened to Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Kansas and even Elton John (until his last great album in 1975) and avoided the usual pop crap. The good thing about radio and TV is that you can turn it OFF.
I was a teenage at the time and must confess that I really liked "Love Grows". I thought it was a very catchy tune and I still humm it in my head while jogging from time to time
First of all EL was a studio band, and the lead singer was an English singer named Tony Burrows. They only had that one song. And Tony went on to sing on other hits like "My Baby Loves Lovin", "United We Stand", and "Beach Baby"
Edison Lighthouse was not the most. hated band. Like most people I knew back then it was not a song that meant anything and was a song that was kinda of just there. Neither loved or hated. For most people, myself included, the song was more like some commercial jingle. Catchy but, just there. But, no one hated it. A band that I really hated was Captain and Tennille. And not because of Muskrat Love. It was that it was the most irritating band. All of their songs were goofy and the two felt like nails on a chalkboard. They were really annoying
Lots of bands did not actually exist,producers would buy songs from struggling songwriters,hire a group of studio musicians,make a record,and if it was a hit then form a band for appearances,sometimes with non musicians miming to the record on TOTPs!
I don't know if any of this has any basis in truth. Edison lighthouse wasn't even a real band. A bunch of studio musicians were hired to record a record. One of the songs was a hit. Probably the only song the producers really cared about. Then a band, or I've heard a few bands were assembled to go out and play the songs. Tony Burrows never intended to do that part of it. He didn't want to travel. That's how he became a five time one hit wonder. He was strictly a studio singer. There were real bands that were hated more than this one.
John michael 2000 below quoted the correct facts about this band. There was no hate thing about them. I was heavily involved in the music scene at the time and remember it well. My favourites at the time were Free and Rory Gallagher.
By the end of the 70s, the entire Disco genre became the "most hated". There was a widespread cultural revolt against it. Nothing to do with any of these bands.

I was just out of high school when it came out, disco was a terrible mistake during the greatest music era in History
@KevinSisson-b8e they were considered disco by many many idiots, I know them as R&B and Soul. But people would put MJ off the wall in that category. Also there was more than a few idiots that didn't differentiate when the destroyed them.
@Erasmustherobot No need to pretend, I actually didn't have those artists in mind at all. I am an older Gen Xer who was 11 years old when the "Disco Demolition Night" event occurred at Chicago's Comiskey Park, at the White Sox - Detroit Tigers game in 1979. Not that I lived anywhere near there. I didn't have very strong anti-disco sentiments, though by that time I was starting to listen to hard rock bands such as Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Van Halen. Before that, my first "45" record was Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke", a gift given to me by my mother, and one of my first albums was the Commodore's Greatest Hits. As you stated, their music is R&B, Soul, and maybe some Funk. I also had friends in school that exposed me to groups like Parlaiment/Funkadelic. Earth, Wind, and Fire certainly had disco hits, but they were a very eclectic group spanning many musical genres. And one of the best selling bands of all time. Living most of the earliest part of my life in the 70s, I like a lot of the music of that era as it's nostalgic to me. I also listen to a lot of late 60s music as well, though it's before my time. Some of the best music came out during this time IMO. One reason disco came to have so many "haters" is that during the late 1970s it was so oversaturated in the music industry that many famous rockers felt they had to join in on the fad. Artists like the Rolling Stones (Miss You), Rod Stewart (Do Ya Think I'm Sexy), and even Kiss had "disco" songs. I believe this is part of what led to the backlash.
I love Tony Burrows, but are you kidding me? Was this all AI generated? Edison Lighthouse and 1910 Fruitgum, etc, were all the output of an attempt to create a 'hit pop record' factory in London. That is probably a much more interesting story than imagining Edison Lighthouse was an actual band.
I always try to give these kind of "one hit wonder" bands a chance. I buy albums by these bands for the sole purpose of hearing what the rest of their stuff sounds like. "What the heck---this song was probably just what the label wanted people to hear---the rest of their stuff couldn't possibly be that bad---could it?" In some cases, it was. In many others---like Blue Cheer or Ram Jam---I found the rest of the bands output to be TONS better than their one hit!
From what I remember,they were quite popular,although called "one hit wonders" they had another hit(at least here on NZ) with "She works in a womans way" which I liked more than "love grows..." Auckland New Zealand 2024
Some one hit wonders continue to this day. New generations still listening.to those songs. The artist continue to play cities all over the world. Locations where the artist already knows they can make money. Some of these artist have different girlfriend in every city. Kenny logins was one of these. Not just the band , the sound guys everyone on board. Believe it or not they claim they do not use drugs. Yet all of them have supply of DMT on them. Extacy. They are heath fanatics and sex addicts. This motivates guys to leave home and go on tour. They certainly didn't slow down during the 90s or 2000s .Non stop since mid 70s.
Kenny lives in my town, and I know him personally. I don't know where you get your 'info' from, but it sounds a lot like jealousy to me. And most particularly made up accusations only in your mind.
Love &rows is a great song and Edison lighthouse was a fake band put together by a studio for a guy who had like four or five records under different names. You are full of it
Billy don't be a hero was by Paper Lace not the made up name you said. Video killled the movie star was a copy of an original. Lighthouse were Burrows and session musicians Please check your facts before making videos
@60sPsycheFanatic Paper Lace are an English pop rock band formed in Nottingham in 1967. They achieved fame and success in 1974, when they had three UK Top 40 hit singles. In the United States they are considered a one-hit wonder, having had a single US number one hit in 1974 with their signature, "The Night Chicago Died".[1] I was there when it came out! YOU check YOUR facts! Lol✌️
@@60sPsycheFanatic You ought to check your facts before commenting. That way you won't look like an idiot. The Paper Lace version was a #96 flop in the U.S., while the Bo Donaldson version was a #1 hit.
Hey, "Golden Prime", this is TOTAL B.S.!! I LOVED "Love Grows" and listened to it all during my senior year of high school. Why are you knocking this great band with your bogus come-on title? Interesting that the guy behind this "Golden Prime" is too cowardly to even put his name on this. Perhaps he's embarrassed as he should be for creating this fake docu. Wonder what Edison Lighthouse ever did to him?
There were many other hard rock bands that came out looong before sabbath came out. The Who in particular and Deep Purple, too. And just like Sabbath, they to enjoyed sharing the AM radio rousters with the one hit wonders, soul, pop rockers and everything else. When FM came along with album cuts and the extended play format, the bands you dig,(me too). Came into prominence. Iron Man was just shy of being a top 40 hit, coming in at #52 on the billboard charts. It was their biggest 'hit'.
@KevinSisson-b8e , you named some really awesome bands! I've just been a fan of "Doom Metal" since Black Sabbath and back in the 1980s, Candlemass. I listen to everything, though. I even love old British Alternative music. Joy Division, The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, The Smiths, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, etc. 🤘
@@KevinSisson-b8e In the UK though, Paranoid went to #4. Also, I remember our local top 40 station playing Iron Man a lot. It made the top 20 in Cleveland and Pittsburgh local charts but those are rock and roll cities.

Absolutely NOT we all loved that band in N.IRELAND Love grows where my Rosemary goes and nobody knows like me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤😂😂❤❤❤
I wouldn’t call captain & Tennille one hit wonder because they had lots of hits and so did kiss.
Dude this band has other songs. Best one is "Every lonely day". Honestly their songs are really good and people are too mean to this band.
Video killed the Radio Store still being played today
Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods DID record "Billy Dont be a Hero" Paper Lace did "The Night Chicago Died"....👍🎵✌️
I'm talking about having the "hit" Paper Laces version wasn't a huge hit for them. Their big hit was Chicago Died...Heywoods had the hit with "Hero"
I remember ABBA being the most hated band. They had so many horribly cheesy songs. Edison Lighthouse had some pretty good songs in comparison.
Most hated band? I grew up in the 70's and they were barely on my radar except for that one song.
We didn't hate them in the States
