In the same vein of Emher's thread concerning 1970s movies, according to you, what songs defined that decade? I'll go first with: Barry White's Love Theme Pink Floyd's Echoes Black Sabbath's Paranoid David Bowie's Space Oddity and AC/DC's Let There Be Rock Your turn!
The BeeGees Stayin' Alive Led Zeppelin The Rain Song Kiss Rock 'n' Roll All Night Rose Royce Car Wash Boston Foreplay/Longtime Just to break it up a bit.
Not necessarily songs I particularly like, but I'd have to say: Fleetwood Mac: Dreams, or something else from Rumours Frampton's Baby I Love Your Way or Do You Feel Like We Do Steve Miller's Fly Like an Eagle or Jet Liner Eagles: Life in the Fast Lane or Take It Easy
Nothing says the 70's like: Cocaine -- Eric Clapton (1977) Kung Fu Fighting -- Carl Douglas (1974) and Disco Duck - Rick Dees (1976) I am so glad that decade is over.
Adding to the good suggestions above... Working Man - Rush Just What I Needed - The Cars Hotel California - The Eagles
This article discusses the "soft rock" trend that developed in the early 1970's. The artists discussed include Elton John, Billy Joel, Boz Scaggs and Bread: http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/07/03/123638.php
What you said.....except for the fact that I like them. I'd also add Steve Miller Band's Joker and Stealer's Wheel's Stuck in the Middle.
As I was going to say "Funkytown" by Lipps, Inc... But it looks like it was released in 1980. *rats* Still, I'd give it an Honorable Mention. Now, back to the album collection... Cheers, -CM-
