Mine would have to be "Breathe" by Pink Floyd. I actually used my high school quote from this song in 1975. "All you touch and All you see, Is all your Life will ever be" That still rings true to me today.

 

[Elvistelth]

Kashmir by Led Zeppelin

 

[Acklander]

Freebird!!!!!

I would have to say 'Crazy Love' by Poco. I still have it on my play list.

Dance With Me - Orleans
anything Bee Gees and Andy Gibb
and back in the day 'You Take my Breath Away' by Rex Smith. Until my mom made me recite the lyrics to her one day. Oh dear, they were bad. I had such a crush on him

Hard to say I'm Sorry - Chicago
anything by the Police - and my enduring thing for Sting
anything ABBA
anything by the Eagles
the list goes on too long - I was a teenager in the 70's

Here is a link to a list of 70's songs.

I loved Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band. I'd play my 45 and my brother and I would sing along at the top of our lungs. I was around 9 years old and my brother was about 6. It was many, many, many years later that I really listened to the words and discovered their true meaning. Made those impromptu concerts seem....ummm...inappropriate.

Do any of you remember "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks?

 

[tabby1881]

Angie Baby
Wildfire
Fox on the Run
Ballroom Blitz
Leroy Brown
Saturday Night (S A T U R D A Y night!)
Tie a Yellow Ribbon

and there is a song that I've been trying to find for a while. I could only remember that a guy sang part of it and then a girl sang the chorus: How Do You Do Uh Huh . I just found the song on Youtube the other night! It actually is called How Do You Do by a duo from the Netherlands called Mouth & Macneil. It was so good to hear that song again!

What a sad song! There were so many story telling songs in the 70's. I used to like "Billy Don't Be Hero"

 

[suejai]

I just looked up Andy Gibb on YouTube and watched videos of I Just Want to be your Everything and Shadow Dancing. Wow, no wonder I had a serious crush on him!

And of course I have to add the Bay City Rollers to my list of 70's faves.

I am listening to a lot of 70's stuff now that I didn't listen to then and gaining a great appreciation for it. Bands like the Doobie Brothers, the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac. Still don't like Jethro Tull or ELP though, all those progressive art rock bands that DH loves so much
