This is a music feature listing three rock songs from 1974 that the American Songwriter author still enjoys today. It offers a nostalgic look back at hits from The Guess Who, Bachman-Turner Overdrive and Grand Funk Railroad, highlighting the stories and trivia behind each track rather than reporting news.

The article covers "Clap For The Wolfman" by The Guess Who, a tribute to disc jockey Wolfman Jack that was the band's final Top 10 single; "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive, the Canadian band's only US No. 1, which was nearly left off their album Not Fragile until a record executive insisted on including it; and "Some Kind Of Wonderful" by Grand Funk Railroad, originally recorded by Soul Brothers Six but turned into the band's enduring signature song, despite never reaching No. 1.

– "Clap For The Wolfman" honoured DJ Wolfman Jack and was The Guess Who's last Top 10 hit
