To ask for your 60s-70s classic songs?

[Musicinmyears45]

Dd14 is just getting into 'old' music after I showed her some fleetwood mac
I have a record player with some vinyls that I told her she can use but i'd like some recommendations as for what I could show her. My minds a bit blank atm

The Who
Roy Orbison

A good blast of Glam Rock - Slade, The Sweet, Mud

Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
All The Young Dudes - Mott The Hoople

Late 70s = punk, so Never Mind The Bollocks

1970's never too early for Bowie.

Roxy Music
Blondie
Stones
Elton John

Pink Floyd - anything and everything. Echoes played on good quality headphones is life changing. I particularly like the Syd Barrett era. Songs like Bike and Arnold Layne!!!!
Tim Buckley
Comus (very 'wicker man' esque)
Kinks
Animals
T-Rex
SLADE! !!! Absolutely love them!!!!!
Early Kate Bush
Beatles
Bowie

Parallel Lines - Blondie
Tonic For The Troops - Boomtown Rats
Regatta De Blanc - The Police
All Mod Cons - The Jam
The Specials - The Specials
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Queen, and Queen II - Queen

Grease and Saturday Night Fever soundtracks

'Down Town' Petula Clark

Al Stewart
Leonard Cohen
Ralph McTell
Jethro Tull
Joni Mitchell
Mary Hopkin
Dubliners
Seekers
Animals
Procul Haram(spelling?)
Jackson Five
Shadows
Bruce Welsh + Farrer
Olivia Newton-John
Val Doonican

I'm only posting to agree with everyone and add Al Stewart Year of the Cat. And to Spotify some of the suggestions I'd forgotten about.

Anything by Thin Lizzy but especially Whisky in the jar.

Francoise Hardy, (can't do cedillas) she may have been more 60s/70s though. She had such an amazing voice.

Heaven Must Have Sent You - The Elgins

Id recommend GOLD radio UK they play all the 60/70s music a really good mix - you can get it on freeview and digital xx

70’s kid

Growing up I loved The Rolling Stones, Rod the mod, Elton John, Carol King, The Osmonds and Gary Glitter! Oh and yes T Rex are awesome

What would you all say would appeal to a young girl? She normally listens to Ariena Grande, Billie Ellish etc.

Oh and David Essex

Drift Away - (I love the Rolling Stones unreleased cover of it)

There were several female singers in the 60s and 70s. I've already mentioned Marianne Faithfull and Jackie DeShannon but your DD might like Debbie Harry, Gladys Knight, Kate Bush, Chrissie Hynde and Olivia Newton-John. Lulu's version of The Man Who Sold The World is a great 70s song.

My favourites from the 60s/70s

California dreamin' - Mamas & Papas
Move on up - Curtis Mayfield
Bus Stop - The Hollies
Paint it black - Rolling Stones
Band of Gold - Freda Payne
Too busy thinking bout my baby - Marvin Gaye
Dreams , Green Manalishi - Fleetwood Mac
All along the watchtower - Jimi Hendrix

Wichita Lineman, Glen Campbell, a beautiful song.
Won't Get Fooled Again. The Who.
LA Woman. The Doors.
Nights In White Satin. Moody Blues. Also the lesser known Question, cos it brings back happy childhood memories.
Voodoo Chile. Jimi Hendrix.
MacArthur Park. Richard Harris.
Classical Gas. Mason Williams.

Oh yes, Blondie - so good

Blondie for sure...maybe start with Parallel Lines. Carole King's Tapestry, Judie Tsuke's Sportscar. (I may be trampling on some early 80s here too. )

Steely Dan: Pretzel Logic and Can't Buy A Thrill. The Doobie Brothers - Long Train Running, Listen To The Music. Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town. Boz Scaggs - Lido Shuffle, What Can I Say, America - Ventura Highway, The Eagles + Joe Walsh. James Taylor for full singer songwriter mode. I think someone already mentioned Al Stewart and The Year Of The Cat. Early Hall and Oates with Sara Smile and She's Gone.

Then there's glam. Bowie in the Diamond Dogs era, T Rex...a bit of the Stooges and Search and Destroy.

That should all take a year or so...

Mamas and the papas
Scott Mackenzie
Eric Clapton/cream
Deep purple
Rolling Stones
Early genesis
Arthur brown
Queen

Blue oyster cult (don’t fear the reaper has to be one of the best songs ever written)
