September - Earth, Wind & Fire
Miracles - Jefferson Starship
In The Country - Three Dog Night
Another Park, Another Sunday - Doobie Brothers
Fire and Rain - James Taylor

I'm going on and on - I guess I'd better stop    ;)

I love "Sky High"!  I used to play it over and over on my record player.  I thought, at the time and still with some of my friends, that i was the only one who knew that song!  I got lots of strange looks when i'd ask someone if they knew it - lol!  BTW, anyone possibly have an idea or link i can go to for an MP3 download of it?  That'd be great!

:D ;D :D

SherryD

Father and Son ~ Cat Stevens

There are too many to even begin to mention!  :o

Add the Bee Gees to my list

It may be easier for me to name the ones I can't stand! Yes, there were quite a few but not nearly as many as I liked ;)

Majority of John Denver songs

I also love The Carpenters songs

I was always fond of some of these '70's tunes (some of my favorites):

"Venus" the original by Shocking Blue
"Everything Is Beautiful" by Ray Stevens
"WAR" by Edwin Starr
"Want Ads" by Honeycone
"Mr. Big Stuff" by Jean Knight
"One Tin Soldier (The Legend Of Billy Jack)" by Coven
"Don't Pull Your Love" by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds
"Riders On The Storm" & "Love Her Madly" by the Doors
All of George Harrison solo tunes of the '70's
All of John Lennon solo tunes of the '70's
All of Paul McCartney & Wings tunes
All of Carole King's tunes
All of Three Dog Night tunes
All of Badfinger's tunes
All of Billy Preston tunes
All of Roberta Flack tunes
All of Elton John tunes
"American Pie" by Don McLean
All of Gilbert O'Sullivan (people remember him?) tunes
All of Cher tunes
All of Barbra Streisand tunes
Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon" lp
"Midnight Train To Georgia" by Gladys Knight & the Pips
"Brother Louie" by the Stories
"The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace
"Rock The Boat" by Hues Corporation (I always thought this would be a cool tune for an actor playing Petruchio to be singing to Katherine in a production of Shakespeare's "The Taming Of The Shrew")
"Beach Baby" by First Class
All of K.C. & the Sunshine Band tunes
"Magic" by Pilot
"Jackie Blue" by Ozark Mountain Daredevils

I am only in my mid 20's but here it goes:

Rise-Herb Alpert
Heaven Knows-Donna Summer
December 1963-Four Seasons
Easy-Commodores
Rappers Delight-Sugar Hill Gang(like that song)
Turn Your Love Around-George Benson(Music Choice-Sattelite Radio said this song as ahit in 1978.)
Good Times-Chic
IF You Think I'm Sexy-Rod Stewart(To me this was like a rap song.) In 1997-1998 the rap group "The Lox" even wrote an updated version of this song "If You Think I;m Jiggy". Elton John said Rod Stewart didn't sound good singing a song like this. I think Rod just felt he had to do song like this at the time because of how big disco was back in the late 70's period.

I like

Way too many to list but here's a few:

Rock The Boat - Hues Corporation
I Go Crazy - Paul Davis
How Deep Is Your Love - Bee Gees

I would enjoy this song alot more if it wasn't 2 hours long.

IF You Think I'm Sexy-Rod Stewart(To me this was like a rap song.) In 1997-1998 the rap group "The Lox" even wrote an updated version of this song "If You Think I;m Jiggy". Elton John said Rod Stewart didn't sound good singing a song like this. I think Rod just felt he had to do song like this at the time because of how big disco was back in the late 70's period.

I'm also in the apparent minority who LOVES that song - I guess I'm a sucker for overproduced cheesy/novelty songs. ;D

It was stuff like this which got me into Rod Stewart in the first place - certainly must've set the stage for his new wave/pop period in the 80s with songs like "Young Turks", "Infatuation" and "Love Touch".

As for overall favorite 70's songs, I'll have to get back to ya on that. I love too many (not as much as the 80s but still). ;)
