More tomorrow if you'd like. There's PLENTY more. That's a great list and I will use some but kind of looking for more towards the pop side than rock as that's what my parents listened to and that's what I remember more from that era.(at least then) You do have quite a bit of pop on there though.(Climax Blues Band is one of my favs) I'll list a few more: We Just Disagree- Dave Mason Magnet and Steel- Walter Egan Baby Come Back-Player Steal Away-Robbie Dupree(maybe 1980 or so?) How Much I Feel-Ambrosia Lido Shuffle- Boz Skaggs Jackie Blue-Ozark Mountain Daredevils Thunder Island-Jay Ferguson Edited May 21, 2012 by presto123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastille Dave Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) ^^^ I think the point of the thread was 70's hits, not obscure songs from the 70's. Edited May 22, 2012 by Bastille Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive knowledge on 70's songs by driventotheedge though. I'm sure there are plenty I know but not by title. I only recognize about 10 of that 1970 list. There were a lot of good disco hits but thankfully no one is mentioning too many of them. Nobody mentioned any Olivia Newton John yet? She was huge in that era.

Rick N. Backer Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 QUOTE (rushgoober @ May 21 2012, 02:40 PM)Rod Stewart - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? I had the 45 of that when it came out. I brought it into school because my 6th grade teacher let us play records at recess during the winter. It got played so much it got scratched and ruined. One song I remember hearing on the AM radio in my parents' car was Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel. Whenever I watch Reservoir Dogs and "that" scene comes on, I can't help but imagine myself in the 1968 Rambler (it wasn't new) my parents had.

I actually know most of them, but we listen to a station at work that specializes in them and certain 80's songs (while others are omitted entirely). I hear them over and over and over. I bet you'd actually know more than you think if you went down the list on YouTube... One of my early favorite songs was Dust In The Wind by Kansas. Heard that one a lot back then. Didn't know what it was about and love it even more now that I do. Edited May 24, 2012 by 1 of the 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
