There's no way I can narrow down my favorite 1971 songs - even 100 would be difficult.  Thus I'm taking a different tack.  I'm now answering this: what were my top 10 1971 songs back during 1971 - when I was eleven?  With that, here we go, counting down (more than 10, oh well  ::) ):

17. Sooner Or Later / Grass Roots
16. Don't Pull Your Love / Hamilton Joe Frank & Reynolds
15. Signs / Free Man Electrical Band
14. Chick-A-Boom / Daddy Dewdrop
13. Eighteen / Alice Cooper
12. She's A Lady / Tom Jones
11. Brown Sugar / Rolling Stones
10. Love Her Madly / Doors
9. We Can Work It Out / Stevie Wonder
8. Another Day / Paul McCartney
7. Nathan Jones / Supremes
6. It Don't Come Easy / Ringo Starr
5. Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted / Partridge Family
4. Sweet And Innocent / Donny Osmond
3. Want Ads / Honey Cone
2. What Is Life / George Harrison
1. Mama's Pearl / Jackson 5

That's some mighty fine listening for an eleven year old  ;D

Have to include Mr. Bojangles by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, though that's sort of 70-71.
