low rider- war :D

I would have to also add a few more...
3. Rock Your Baby by George McCrea-1974


I love that song!  ;D
Did you ever hear the long version...over 6 minutes.


No, I don't believe I ever did.  Funny, but it doesn't strike me as a song that would run that long... :-\

It's really not bad....they just went through it twice...the last part is without the vocal....great for dancing!

Me too - great song! :D

i know these choices most likely will fall on deaf ears but here goes: "supper's ready" by genesis,"somewhere in hollywood" or "the dean and i " by 10cc,"#1 lowest common denominator","the last ride" or "when the s**t hits the fan/international feel" by todd rundgren,"starless" by king crimson,"south side of the sky" by yes,"thick as a brick" by jethro tull,"echoes" by pink floyd,"free hand" by gentle giant,"pimp" by the tubes,"hasta manana monsieur" by sparks,"night by night" by steely dan,"before the kiss,a redcap" by blue oyster cult,"voodoo chile (slight return)" by jimi hendrix,..................anybody out there agree w/ any of 'em?  whatever...


I would agree with...

South Side of the Sky
Thick as a Brick
Before the Kiss, a Redcap

I think the song that most embodies my '70's memories is:

More Than A Feeling...Boston
i have tried to respond to this w/ a little story about that song ,but something always screws up ,so this time i'll make it real short; after accusing tom scholtz of borrowing the production style of "more than a feeling" from todd rundgren's "couldn't i just tell you" (i ran into him in a supermarket once - same one i ran into ben orr in -another story),he told me that he stole it from "tend my garden" by the james gang (at least i didn't accuse him of having written it w/ computers - a ridiculous rumor from the 70's). compare 'em and let me know what you think (similar riff,same handcalps,etc.,etc.)i knew i could't make it short.

I would have to agree with anything by Genesis, 10cc, Steely Dan, Blue Oyster Cult, Jimi Hendrix and of course one of my total fav's Pink Floyd.


Good choices.

wow! i knew someone cool had to be out there. if you like the previously mentioned (by you) stuff, you should definitely hunt down a copy of " a wizard, a true star" by todd rundgren. this is as strange/beautiful/powerful/intelligent (but not pretentious) as music gets (besides,maybe,"the lamb lies down on broadway" by genesis). list some more stuff that you're into if you want to -i'm just kind of curious if there are any other similarities, or possibly things that you would recommend that i haven't heard. so far i'm very impressed.

???I'm not too sure about this but I'm open to anyone's opinion. What does everyone think about the meaning behind hotel California. I've heard a lot of things. One is that it is just about California which I think is really pointless, Another is that it is about a satanic cult that was based within a hotel that wa actually on a road called california, and my own opinion is that it is about hell. The lyrices themselves give you the idea. "You can check in but you can never leave," very obvious. You cannot leave hell once you have been condemned. Next, "On a dark desert highway," sin leading down the wrong path. "There she stood in the doorway....this could be heaven and this could be hell...," is in my mind meant to be directed to the idea of the devil's temptations and not knowing if it is right or wrong. "Welcome to the hotel california, such a lovely place, living it up at the hotel california....," sin again. "She said we are all just prisoners here of our own device..," We are all prisoners of our own sin in life. "They stabbed it with thier steely knives but they just can't kill the beast," the devil. Once you have entered hell you cannot leave. "Eternal flame."

one of the greatest songs ever
freebird - lynryd skynryd

Id have to say for female...its a tie between Carly Simons Your So Vain and Carol Beyer Seger's Your Moving Out Today.

For Male....its also a tie between Dave Dundas' Jeans On and (cant think of the singer right now) the song is called Its All Over Now baby Blue.

Bands/ Groups, again a tie between Led Zepplins Over The Hills And far Away and Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac.


Disco hit: Rare Earths Warm Ride and Partick Hernandez' Born To Be Alive.




Sorry for not sticking to just one...but its pretty impossisble to single out one song from one genre by one gender from one of the very few dacades where almost every song that hit the charts was a masterpeice.

If I had to pick one favorite song from the 70s, it would be a toss-up between Da Doo Ron Ron or Hey Deenie by Shaun Cassidy.  :)

:D >:( ;D :( :o 8) ::) :Pi love the 70ties is on VH1

Okay, so many mentioned were (are) great songs ....


I few I love "Precious and Few"  " The man from Tennesse" and of course last, but not least "Born to Run"  "Thunderroad" and "Backstreets"

As some have suggested,it's pretty hard to pick just one song out of the mountain of  great songs that came out of the 70s...but I'll pick just one for the fun of it..

Me And Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin

There were so many good songs from this decade!  I would have to say that mine is "Right Down The Line" by Gerry Rafferty.  :)


ONE TIN SOLDIER
(The Legend of Billy Jack)
words and music by Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter
Copyright © 1969 by ABC / Dunhill Music, Inc.

Listen children to a story that was written long ago
  'bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley folk below.
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone,
  and the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own.


      Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
      Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end.
      There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
        on the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away.


So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill
  asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill.
Came an answer from the kingdom: "With our brothers we will share
  all the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there."


      Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
      Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end.
      There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
        on the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away.


Now the valley cried with anger; mount your horses, draw your sword,
  and they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain, dark and red,
  turned the stone and looked beneath it. "Peace on earth" was all it said.


      Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
      Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end.
      There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
        on the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away.
