What are your favourite songs from the 70s? 😎 🎸 🪩

[Littledidsheknow]

Making a new 70s playlist for Spotify, but lacking inspiration. If I Google best songs from the 70s I just get lots of good big hits, which are not always, y’know, good music.

So far I have some Bowie, Led Zeppelin, The Jam, The Police, Cat Stevens, Fleetwood Mac, The Jacksons, Siouxsie, The Clash and others.
looking for good songs of all genres, forgotten gems… even cheesy pop if it’s good.

What are your 70s favourites? 🙂

Donna Summer - I feel love
Anita Ward - Ring my Bell

Steely Dan - Ricky Don’t Lose that Number
Yes -I’ve Seen All Good People
Badfinger -No Matter What

I have “I Feel Love” on my running playlist!

10CC, I not in love, rubber bullets

And things I’d forgotten about (how could I forget 10cc?)
And new (to me) songs to explore.
