I don't know a big lot about the 70s compared to the decades after but these are probably my three favourite songs from the decade I have heard so far.
Excellent pop rock tune, I thought until I found out recently, that this was from later than 1974!  This song is so very different, especially with the operatic vocal. Definitely my favorite of all the electronic HI-NRG disco songs in the late 70s. Have liked this one for a long time. What are your favourite 70s tracks? |

Cheryl Lynn - Got to Be Real Emotions - Best of My Love Fleetwood Mac - Landslide Fleetwood Mac - Dreams Diana Ross - Do You Know Where You're Going To Diana Ross - The Boss I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of right now |

ABBA- Dancing Queen ABBA- Mamma Mia ABBA - S.O.S. Blondie - Sunday Girl Carly Simon - You're So Vain Cher - Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves Dolly Parton - Jolene Donna Summer - I Feel Love Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon Fleetwood Mac - Landslide Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi Joni Mitchell - River Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Queen - Don't Stop Me Now If I had to only pick a top 3 I'd say it'd be Wuthering Heights first for sure, and then Bohemian Rhapsody and Rhiannon. |

More than 40 years on, they're still making great music. |

Will maybe start a similar 80s themed thread soon though on here. Oh forgot about this one from the 70s, from 1970 , thought it was from later in the 70s.

What are your favourite 70s tracks? 2 number ones in my chart and a number 3, I approve of your choices! (and most of the suggestions elsewhere)  |

My favourites are heavily influenced by the music my parents listened to...
You could pretty much include most of Bowie and Blondie's 70s material... |

Lou Reed - Wild Child Diana Ross & the Supremes - This is Why I Believe in You Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers - One Track Mind Ramones - Ramona Japan - Wish You Were Black The Stooges - Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell Bob Marley - Natural Mystic Black Sabbath - The Writ The Rolling Stones - Beast of Burden Leonard Cohen - Love Calls You by Your Name Mick Ronson - Music is Lethal Throbbing Gristle - Hit by a Rock Television - Elevation Syd Barrett - Golden Hair Joy Division - I Remember Nothing David Bowie - The Bewlay Brothers Neil Young - Only Love Can Break Your Heart The Kinks - Celluloid Heroes Roxy Music - The Thrill of It All Brian Eno - Dead Finks Don't Talk Suzi Quatro - 48 Crash The Sweet - Jeanie Richard Hell & the Voidoids - New Pleasure The Carpenters - I Kept On Loving You KISS - Christine Sixteen The Beach Boys - Let Us Go On This Way The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother Motorhead - All the Aces I could go on, but I have many. The '70s is one of my favourite eras. |

A song I've not seen mentioned in here so far, it was recently used in an advert but I know of it from Adam Curtis' documentary Hypernormalisation and through it being played a lot on 6Music. Suicide's "Dream Baby Dream". Magnificent!

I do really like this cheesefest that was #1 in 1976, it is very nostalgic as my local cafe I went to a lot used seemed to always have this on its playlist when I was younger.
The highlights for me are the Ooh-hoo's and the horn bits. |
