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? 🙂

That song makes me cry !! Everytime, so beautiful

Absolute classic !!

I Want You Back - Jackson 5
Maggie May - Rod Stewart
Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel
Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty
Come Up And See Me - Steve Harley and the Cockney Rebel
Mr Blue Sky - ELO
Heart of Glass - Blondie
Any Bowie or Abba

My favourite music era :

Drive by the Cars
Anything from the Bat out of Hell album by Meatloaf
They Shoot Horses Don't They by Racing Cars
Sheena is a Punk Rocker by The Ramones
Anything by Smokie , Wild Wild Angels being my favourite .

It's going to be a cracking playlist

Nearly forgot -

Still the Same by Bob Seger .
Anything from the Eagles
Sex Pistols

Geez I could go on and on . Fabulous era for music

Meant to say Best Friends Girl by the Cars ... Drive was the 80's 🤦

It's going to be a cracking playlist

It's going to be a massive playlist. I may have to 'zone' it into rock, pop, soul, disco, punk, new wave and cheese!

I'll be pretty busy for the rest of today, so won't be done until tomorrow, but I'll definitely share it here from a free Spotify account 🙂

Thank you!!

That's great service @Littledidsheknow . I do agree on zoning. I may be 66 now but when I was teen some of the tracks mentioned I absolutely hated and I can't shake that feeling off.
Whoever mentioned Led Zep's Kashmir I had forgotten that one. I had all the original Led Zep albums on vinyl. DS2 (26) now has my vinyl collection and is as happy listening to 70s music as current.

Boston ‘More than a Feeling’
I think Nirvana played the intro on stage once cos people were saying Teen Spirit intro was similar
Good old Kurt 🎸

Bogey M 😂
Brilliant.

The sound track to Saturday Night Fever (you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man, no time to talk - just fantastic!)

Grease too.

and I know someone has already said this but
CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all so much for taking me right back to the 8 track in my dad's Ford Cortina. It's Weymouth, baking hot and 1976 in my head and I could not be happier.

Parallel Line by Blondie - the whole album
Another Girl, Another Planet - The Only Ones
Oh Bondage! Up Yours - X-ray Spex
Destination Venus - The Rezillos

Oh, I wish I had said these! All of them.
Angie Baby freaked me out but enthralled me too and led to a lifelong love of Helen Reddy. I used to go to Norwich library every Monday night with my dad (pre fire and re-build) and found and loved and borrowed, over and over again, everything by her from the music lending library.
Such happy memories, especially of my dear dad, who died in 1990.

Oh I loved Amoureuse and I had completely forgotten about it - thank you for the reminder!

Still working on it!

Native New Yorker - Odessy
Baker Street -Jerry Rafferty
Anything by The Carpenters/David Essex
One more chance -Yellow Dog
Anthing by Lemon Jelly

Bee Gees

Had to revisit this;

As one comment said, if McCartney had written this it would be hailed as one of the all time greats.

Ram Jam - Black Betty
REO Speedwagon - Back on the road again
Aerosmith - Dream on
Trex - Jeepster
Golden Earring - Radar love
Bachman Turner Overdrive - You ain't seen nothing yet

I was a teenager in the 70's and this is just a few favourites from my Spotify oldies playlist. Plenty more if you want!

Another Girl, Another Planet - The Only Ones
oooh another forgotten pleasure - @Littledidsheknow I can't thank you enlough for the joy this thread is bringing me 😀

I’m going through an unexpected Neil Sedaka phase at the moment Laughter in the Rain and Love Will Keep us Together are both joyous imo.

It’s cool by virtue of being vintage.

Manhatton Transfer- Chanson D'Amour
Darts- Boy from New York City
Lobo- You and Me and dog called Boo

Ra Ra Rasputin,

Bat out of Hell: the entire album
Hotel California and Take it to the Limit
Blondie: Parallel Lines and Eat to the Beat albums

Yes loved Darts
