A call out to all music lovers...

[Lady_Guenivere]

I need some help!

I am putting together a few 70's music CD's and I need some guidance.
Any of you 40 somethings out there have any favorite 70's tunes??? I'll need about 100 songs. From Disco....to rock.

Wish I could say I am too young to remember the 70's...even though I was just a little girl in that decade .

I appreciate the suggestions and thanks in advance!

 

[TheeGoatPig]

I think these were 70s...

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper
The Eagles - Hotel California
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (I know that one is)

 

[neonlyte]

Anything from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer - but not Pictures from an Exhibition

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (Money)

Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band was 1968 but still a hallmark of the 70's, mix and match with the recent release.

 

[Lady_Guenivere]

I think Comfortably Numb (The Wall) was released in the early 80's, no?

 

[glynndah]

Try this: Top 1200 Songs of the Seventies. Surely you can find at least one hundred you like.

I own the CD and used to have a vinyl copy for radio stations. It's copyrighted 1979. Still 70s

What a find! Thanks G.

 

[Lady_Guenivere]

Thanks glynndah! Lots of songs that I like but I also want to know what other people like. It will be easier to choose that way.

I know I've wandered into the 80's (and a bit back to the 60's), but it's all the rich musical tapestry of Pop, Rock, Punk, etc. that I still enjoy.

Another site to browse: The Top Seventies Singles

 

[Roxanne Appleby]

Lots of good ones here already.

Fleetwood Mac, You make loving fun and Don't stop thinking about tomorrow (basically, anything sung by Christine McVie with her heavenly contralto (?) voice - that other chick just irritates me. )


Allman Brothers Band Eat a Peach album (especially Mountain Jam)

Really a 60's icon, but Doors L.A. Woman from 1971 sneaks in.

Forgot one: Jefferson Starship, Miracles (written and sung by Marty Balin, not Grace Slick).
(Youtube comment: "i lost my virginity to this song......." )

Denial isn't going to make them go away

I am sure some people do... but I am not sure why...

just kidding...

For the record...I had a huge crush on the construction worker...devastated when it was pointed out to me that these fine young men were gay...

Still have a thing for workboots and hard...hats. LOL!

 

[jomar]

How could I forget Peter Frampton. Oh, I remember, I had the Frampton album (recorded in a castle) then Frampton Comes Alive was released and I couldn't get a way from it in the dorms. Same thing with Miracles, got way overplayed for me.

 

[KPoppy]

20th Century Boy - T Rex (and all the others)

Get Down, Get With It - Slade (and many others)

Hellraiser - The Sweet (and the live album including Burning/Someone else will)
