Subject: Best of the 70s

OK I saw the best of the 60s and the 80s. But what about my favorite musical decade the 70s? How about a list of some favorite 70s music? While those who have seen my quizzes know I believe the Eagles rule supreme for the decade. I may surprise some by saying that if I had to pick one 70's song that I enjoy, captures what I think is that 70s mystique, and could listen to the most without it wearing on me is "American Pie" by Don McLean. I'll start with that one but please list as many as you like and maybe some reasons why they are your choice.

70s interesting era that gave us glam rock and Disco, as well as some great rock and soul also. lesn I hear you about Slade. I watched a documentary about the 70s and Slade mentioned in passing whereas Bowie and Bolan mentioned lots. Yet they were not as successful as Slade. Reply #41. Apr 02 19, 5:41 AM |

After the Lovin' by Engelbert Humperdinck (the song and the album, or basically any of his albums from 1971 through 1980.) Hopelessly Devoted (or basically anything by Olivia Newton-John) That's Rock and Roll by Shaun Cassidy Baby I'm A-Want you, Make It with You (or basically anything by Bread) Anything by The Carpenters, though I prefer their work in the first half of the decade. Just about anything by The Bee Gees Anything by Barry Manilow Anything in the all too short solo career of Cass Eliot, aka Mama Cass Soul and Inspiration by Donny and Marie Glen Campbell up to and including "Southern Nights" Somebody Waiting by Paul Williams or Art Garfunkel Midnight At The Oasis by Maria Muldaur Three Dog Night Blue Bayou by Linda Ronstadt You Make Me Feel Like Dancing by Leo Sayer Reminiscing by Little River Band Bluer Than Blue by MICHAEL JOHNSON The Wonder of You by Elvis Presley Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song by B.J. Thomas Love Will Keep Us Together by The Captain and Tennille John Denver Photograph and You're Sixteen by Ringo Star Wings, especially Mull of Kintyre I could go on and on, but fortunately for you all, I'm very tired.

Cat, you thread-killer you. You stop that! I'm gonna tell on you. :-p You really listed a lot of great stuff that brought back a lot of nice memories for me. Remember when Bread exploded all over everyone with Mother Freedom? Hey, tomorrow You're not so far away Mother freedom We'll know you well someday I don't know, Cat, sometimes I think that is the very song that got heavy metal started. I mean, you've got to admit, that was hands down the hardest rocking tune those cats ever did. Okay, I'm just clowning around about the metal thing getting started from that, but all joking aside, I really did and still do like a bunch of their songs. In fact, I honestly can't think of a single song they ever did that I didn't like. Diary was always one of my favorites by them. Remember that one? I can't remember if you listed that particular one or not. I found her diary underneath a tree And started reading about me The words she'd written took me by surprise You'd never read them in her eyes.... Such a beautiful song for sure. Everything I Own, The Guitar Man, they really made a lot of great music, Cat. Don't even get me started on Three Dog Night. Talk about being able to go on and on. They were just out of this world fantastic. I'll tell ya what, I've never been to heaven, but ya know what? I've been to Oklahoma. It's funny, they tell me I was born there, but honestly, I really don't remember. Now, keep in mind, I'm talking about Oklahoma, not Arizona. Ah, well, what does it matter. :-p Seriously though, talk about rock and roll with nothing but soul and just some really fantastic harmony. The same can be said about a lot of artists, I know, but there really was nobody else quite like them. Eli's Coming, Shambala, Old Fashioned Love Song, Family of Man, One Man Band, Out in the Country.... Before the breathin' air is gone Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night time Out where the rivers like to run I stand alone and take back something worth remembering... That one is from my favorite TDG album of all - It Ain't Easy. I'll certainly cherish all of their music as long as I live, no question about that. Anyway, I guess I probably better quit bogarting thread space. It's all so very scarce and limited, and here I am just bogarting and bogarting like the King of the Bogarts or something and just not letting people get a word in edgewise like the biggest bogartingest bogart of all the bogarty bogarts who ever lived. Bogart. Anyway, now you can blame me for killing the thread, Cat. That is, of course, after I bogarted it. :-p Reply #44. Jun 15 19, 2:38 PM |
