[TrevorW]

Some of you may be too young for this but here go's my choice

1. Sugar Sugar- The Archies
2. Maggie May- Rod Stewart
3. Neither one of us wants to say goodbye- Gladys Knight nad the Pipps
4. What a fool believes- Doobie Brothers
5. You're the first, the last, my everything- Barry White

I suppose there are many but these are some of my most memberable from my courting days. Makes me sound old doesn't it, I am.

[AstralTraveller (David)]

Well, off the top of my head and subject to revision:

And You And I - Yes
Starless - King Crimson
Supper's Ready - Genesis
Velvet Green - Jethro Tull

and my theme song

Born Ugly - Brand X

[Octane (Humayun)]

Pink Floyd - Dogs
Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You
Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave
Jefferson Starship - Miracles
Genesis - Cinema Show
Klaus Schulze - Nowhere Now Here

Just some quick ones off the top of my head. There's so much good music from the 70s by any number of bands.

Being on the wrong side of 45, I did grow up with songs from the '70's - Though my fave era is just into the '80s with the New Wave/Synth (then Goth) styles. Anyway, 5 I can think of are

1. Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush

(daylight...)

2. S-S-S Single Bed - Noosha Fox
3. Cars - Gary Numan
4. Fox On The Run - Sweet
5. I Was Made For Lovin' You Baby - Kiss

[AndyK (Andy)]

1: Hotel California, The Eagles
2: Stairway To Heaven, Led Zeppelin (although anything by Led Zeppelin qualifies)
3: Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen (although almost anything by Queen qualifies)
4: Paranoid, Black Sabbath
5: Smoke On The Water, Deep Purple

... but ask me again in ten minutes and I'll have changed my mind. There are just so many great songs from that era to choose from.

[TrevorW]

I know it was 1969 so shoot me

[Kevnool (Kev)]

Carole bayer Sager - Your moving out today.
Paul Evans - Hello this is Joanie.
Racey - Some Girls.
Paper Lace - Billy dont be a hero.
Terry Jacks - Seasons in the Sun.

Not forgetting the Carpenters.

Cheers Kev.

Here's a quick 5 from the 70's for me.

Also subject to change

1. Tales from topographic oceans - Yes

2. The Wizard - Black Sabbath

3. In search of space - Hawkwind

4. No Quarter - Led Zeppelin

5. Echoes - Pink Floyd

The 70's was a brilliant time for music and there are so many that I've left out.

[TrevorW]

Ric that it was, I've left out to many to mention groups and solo artists such as

Smokie
Dr Hook
Greedance
Suzi Q
ELO
FleetwooD Mac
Bowie
Beatles
Bee Gees
America
Beach Boys
Jackson 5
Queen



and the list goes on

[rmcconachy]

Fleetwood Mac - "Go your own way" or "Dreams"
Eagles - "Desperado" or "The last resort"
Billy Joel - "Only the good die young"
Cold Chisel - "Khe Sanh"
Foreigner - "Cold as ice"

I had to check whether some of these were in fact from the 1970s or early 80s

Oops, better make that

Geez, this will take some time, the 70's was the absolute best decade for music.

The 60's were dull, the early 80's were pretty good, the late 80's waned. The 90's were the worst decade for music, very little worth mentioning. No music has been made since then, just product.

First cab off the rank:

Serenade - Steve Miller Band

Cheers,
Jason.

For one born in the 80s, I had a hard time narrowing down the songs I loved best from the 70s!!

My (long) shortlist follows:

Bat Out of Hell
Meatloaf

My First, My Last, My Everything
Barry White

LA Woman
The Doors

Lido Shuffle
Boz Scaggs

Jackie Wilson Said (I'm In Heaven When You Smile)
Van Morrison

September
Earth Wind and Fire

Got to Give It Up
Marvin Gaye

Best of My Love
The Emotions

This completely fails to take into account my love for artists including Fleetwood Mac, Queen, America, The Eagles, and even some of the awesome late 60s rockers like Cream and the Doors

[mishku]

and and and and... how could i forget!?!?

Led Zep's Fool in the Rain

[mswhin63 (Malcolm)]

Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues (Although Your Wildest Dream is my fav (1986)
Bridge over troubled waters - Simon and Garfunkel
Bakers Street - Gerry Rafferty
Afternoon Delight - The Starlight Vocal Band
Make it with you - Bread

Although most of my favorites are in the early eighties.
