hardwood floor Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 All down the line - Stones holy shit what a great song i haven't thought about it in years Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 You could argue Stop Your Sobbing was by a punk band, but the song is poppy for sure. How about Psycho Killer? I would bump Shining Star for that. Fuck all that upbeat stuff. Oh, and Low Spark of High Heeled Boys needs to be on there somewhere too. Kill Zeppelin then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 This is extremely difficult - the 70s were arguably the most diverse musical decade in the history of Rock. I'll try to do this using Mr. H's format of music that was actually on the radio (versus what I might consider my very favorites). Sabbath - War Pigs (yep, peace and love are long gone by 1970)Yes - Roundabout (prog hits the Top 40!)Allmans - Whipping Post (live) gotta have a 20 minute guitar solo song hereElton - Funeral For a Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding - one of the best tunes from the master of radio-friendly musicJeff Beck - Freeway Jam (fusion, baby, fusion)Zeppelin - Kashmir (an unbelievable, beautifully orchestrated song)Dylan - Tangled Up In Blue (The Bard is still the King of the singer-songwriter movement)The Floyd - Time (masters of space rock come down to earth and deal with real life themes, plus I will suggest that Gilmour's solo is the BEST recording of a guitar solo EVER)Sex Pistols - Anarchy In the U.K. (I like The Clash infinitely more than the Pistols, but this one is a clarion call to a millions of the safety-pin-in-the-cheek crowd)Neil - Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) - (NY ends the decade with one of Old Black's most savage outings) I didn't even get to Philly Soul, Country-Rock or Disco.

froggie Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 i've always loved Brandy.. for some reason it reminds of a certain street corner in the city here - only cause i was walking past there while i had the song in my head 10 years ago a few others: piano man - billy joelstairway to heaven - zepstumbling in - chris norman & suzi quattroimagine - lennoneagle rock - daddy coolmoney - pink floydrhiannon - fleetwood macla woman - the doors Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I was born in 1970, so for me it would look something like: Up Up and Away - The 5th DimensionRocky Mountain High - John DenverFly Like an Eagle - Steve MillerThe Gambler - Kenny RogersFeels So Good - Chuck MangioneMandy - Barry ManilowStar Wars Theme - John WilliamsStayin' Alive - The Bee GeesTo Much Time On My Hands - StyxGames People Play - The Alan Parsons Project Quickly followed in about 1980, or so with:Rock and Roll High School - The Ramoneswhich helped to turn it all around for me!
