The 1970s were the peak of American music. Hell, even the band names were awesome. Post your favorite songs here. (If you want to post disco go start your own damn thread)
Random songs to start-- not comprehensive:
Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight
Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
Five Man Electrical Band - Signs
Electric Light Orchestra - Four Little Diamonds
Don McLean - American Pie
Queen - Fat Bottomed Girls
Electric Light Orchestra - Twilight (obligatory)
Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes
Grateful Dead - Friend of the Devil
Bob Dylan - any song by Bob Dylan, really.
Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
The only song from the seventies I like is The Three Degree's Collage!
You ever listen to K-Billy's "Super Sounds of the Seventies" weekend? It's my personal favorite.

What faggotry is this.
Creedence Clearwater Revival (most of their songs)
Three Dog Night (Mamma told me not to come)
Led Zeppelin
On the other hand ...
Janis Ian
Melanie
James Taylor
Two more (didn't realize they were from the 70s!):
Boney M - Rasputin
Charlie Daniels - The Devil Went Down To Georgia
And then there was "Hot Chocolate" and a song that went something like this:
"Emily Emma Emily
I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen
Emily Emma Emily
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen"
Randy Newman - "Short People"
Funniest song of the decade, and that's saying a lot.
what about television you ignorant bastards
'Television - Marquee Moon' is such a must, especially for the strokes kids who haven't realized that television is THE inspiration behind their sound
And Focus, how dare you not mention them, 'In and out of Focus' is so timeless that if it were anymore timeless it would go all singularity and collapse spacetime or something
And 'Emerson, Lake and Palmer' any discussion of the 70's without mentioning them is so woefully inadequate you all deserve to be exposed to nellys whining nasal screeching for crazyamounts of time or something, i mean brain salad surgery is the one of the creative peaks of mankind, along with the wheel, masturbation and yo-yos.
peace out
