A single had to be Number One on the both sides of the Atlantic to become a mega hit. Choose your favourite one, please!

My Top 5 would be:

5) Dancing Queen - ABBA (1976)
4) Heart Of Glass - Blondie (1979)
3) My Sweet Lord - George Harrison (1970)
2) Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel (1970)

and

1) Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd (1979)

Tough choice Alice !  I went with Simon & Garfunkel. :)

Difficult...any of half a dozen could've be chosen, but I went for...

'If You Leave Me Now' - Chicago (Good group, beautiful song...)

Sorry George, but I had to choose Bridge Over Troubled Water.
A truley Great classic song. :)

Hmmm...there are some good songs in the list. The ones that standout for me are

Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel (1970)
Dancing Queen - ABBA (1976)
If You Leave Me Now - Chicago (1976)
Night Fever - The Bee Gees (1978)

(actually there are about 5 others I also like)

I went with...
If You Leave Me Now - Chicago (1976)

Why? It just sounds right today. I guess for sentimental reasons, that's all.
:)

I picked Nilsson...My Sweet Lord would be next.

I was torn but finally pick I Will Survive followed VERY closely by Another Brick in The Wall (even thought I thought Part III was better than Part II and Part II was the mega hit)




Cat

5) Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Today I decided to choose "Annie's Song" (John Denver) just because I think it's such a pretty song.  :)

Runner-ups include:

"If You Leave Me Now"
"Night Fever"
"December, 1963 (Oh What A Night)"

"Don't Look Ethelllll!!!!!!"

I had to go with The Streak.  Love Ray Stevens. :)

Very hard decision but I finally went with "Rock Your Baby".

Great songs to Choose From!

Some of my fave's:

Yellow Brick Road  -Sir Elton-1973

Geez, there were so many amazing songs in the 70's.  I despised the 80's and the 90's left me..just left me bored, for the most part. 

Laurel

My Sweet Lord - George Harrison (1970)

Simon and Garfunkel (song always gets me weepy at the end) followed closely by Heart of Glass.  :)

Some good choices, almost went with another brick in the wall, but since my favorite song from that album was comfortably numb it was difficult, but I went with "Tears of a Clown" because, when smokey sings.......OH BABY

I go for Heart of Glass because Debbie Harry is great....

Simon & Garfunkel and George Harrison weren't too far away though

"My Sweet Lord" from the list.

The 70's Rocked ...... Hard!   T REX, THE STONES, HENDRIX,FOGHAT,AREOSMITH, I COULD BE HERE ALL NIGHT!

Elton John

I picked Another Brick In the Wall. I never get tired of listening to that song even though I've heard it umpteen times!

My second pick would be Annie's Song. The lyrics are so beautiful that I almost cry.  "Let me die in your arms..."

another impossible list..oh how i love 70s music.. 8)

Annie's Song-John Denver
Dancing Queen-ABBA
If You Leave Me Now-Chicago
December 63 (Oh What A Night)-The Four Seasons
Night Fever-The Bee Gees
Three Times A Lady-The Commodores
 

I went with Another Brick In The Wall...How could I not?!? All those songs kick butt!!! Love em all...But, the song that was huge for me, more so than any of the songs in that list was I Dont Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats (1979). I dont know if that was huge in other parts of the world...but in Australia, it was massive!!!







Alright Now

Wheres Stairway, and Shakedown street on that list?

Another Brick in the Wall. Although Dancing Queen and Heart of Glass are up there to.

Mine would be ABBA's DAncing Queen!!!!

I am a big ABBA-fan and they are the best popgroup in the whole universe!!!

ABBA I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

Sylvia :) :) :)

I went for 'Bridge over troubled water'

there is so many good ones to chose from! it was a hard decision!!!

I picked Another Brick In The Wall by Pink Floyd.

I love that song "Another Brick in the wall" did you know that there is some lawsuit going on with the children that sang the backup for that song? something about them not getting royalities or something? anyone know about that??? - Tricia

This is where I saw it...

I remember when I first heard it. I couldn't believe Pink Floyd could come out with something like that. A very negative song from them.

'The song attracted controversy for the chorus sung by the children: "We don't need no education/ We don't need no thought control/ No dark sarcasm in the classroom/ Teachers, leave them kids alone." '

:(

4 seasons - Oh What A Night.  I love that song no matter who sings it  8)

Three Times A Lady - The Commodores
