What is your favorite song from the 60s-70s

[Taylor]

A lot of the songs being mentioned in this thread were very cool, but didn't come out until the 80's (Queen, Saturday Night Fever, and others).


Saturday Night Fever came out in 1978.

I graduated from high school in 73 and college in 77 and got my first job in radio in 79 so YES, I love the music of that era!!!

It would be hard for me to pick ONE but I can say I loved anything by James Brown, Earth Wind and Fire and Stevie Wonder... hey! They're all STILL around!!

 

[Tink's Pixieduster]

Saturday Night Fever came out in 1977. (one of my favorite all time movies and sound tracks).
Queen's been around since the 70s tooo

ARGH! You're right! I must be having a seriously senior moment! Sorry about my earlier post. Get out the Geritol (those from the 50's & 60's should know what this was) and put me out to pasture. Shame on me!

I like "Brown-Eyed Girl"... I don't know who it is by? I think it is a 60's song.

That's by Van Morrison, I like him, too!

"Time of the Season" by The Zombies.

Dave Matthews Band cover it on their new live concert CD/DVD "Weekend on the Rocks". Very good compared to the original.

Van Morrison did "Brown Eyed Girl".

Sorry, simulpost

 

[Skywalker]

Ah yes, Van Morrison! Thank you guys.

Yep. Wasn't Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody released in the mid to late 70's? What a great song!

 

[KingsFanInRI]

I'd have to say that I love just about anything in the Beatles catalogue,
but as an individual song one of my favorites is So Much in Love by the Times
(1963; not by Morris Day and the Time )

1975.
Yes, it is a great song.
Made even more famous by Wayne's World

 

[Aurora63]

Almost anything by The Mamas and the Papas...I Saw her Again Last Night comes to mind.

Eight Miles High...I think that is by The Birds?

Anything from The Who, especially the album Who's Next.

 

[mick67]

how can you pick just one? "stairway to heaven" is the first that comes to mind. "wish you were here" "and you and i" (yes), side 1 of "2112"...i could be here all night

 

[mick67]

tied to the whipping post, war pigs, crazy on you, free bird

I agree with these!

Darn, you missed it by a couple of years. "Southern Cross" by CSN was released in '82, not the 60's or 70's (but it's still a really good song) IMHO.

"Bluebird" by Buffalo Springfield (1967) was a very cool song.

Okay since I missed up I get to try again. I would have to say Tiny Dancer, Sweet Home Alabama and and much of Billy Joels early stuff like New York State of Mind!

 

[aDVCguy]

Day After Day by Badfinger
Call on Me by Chicago

 

[Kitty 34]

I don't have one favorite as all of these songs were ones I listened to all the time.

I would have to say most songs by Elton John.

 

[crz4mm2]

I would have to say most songs by Elton John.

Yep!!

 

[EEYOREMAMA]

For some reason I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight by Boyce and Hart has always been my favorite.

LOVE LOVE LOVE that song!

How many do I get to mention? Here goes a few: Deep Purple, Blowin' In The Wind, Under the Boardwalk, She's Not There, Leader of the Pack, Suspicion. Anything by the Righteous Bros, The Beatles, Jan and Dean. I could keep going. Was there music after the 60's?

Elton's early 70's stuff is smokin...Tumbleweed Connection, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

 

[J.C.&ALI'SMOM]

It was Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show.

Love some Led! Ramble On is one of my favorites. Since I wasn't born until 1971, my mother can be blamed for exposing a young child to the wonders of Led Zeppelin and many other great bands of the 60s and 70s.

Speaking of Van Morrison reminded me of a great song I haven't heard in a long time...Tupelo Honey. Love it!

We also listened to a lot of Outlaw stuff in the 70s. So I have a special place for Good Hearted Woman and Luckenbach TX.
