Greatest Songs 1970-1980 (including '80)
Never seen one of these before. I'll start a 60's one later, but for now it's 1970 to 1980. What are the best ones?
1. Freebird - Skynyrd
2. Highway to Hell - AC/DC
3. Money Talks - AC/DC
4. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplin
5. Gimme Back my Bullets - Skynyrd
7. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
8. Stuck in the middle with you - Steelers Wheel (sp)
9. Little Green Bag - (I have no Idea)
10. Hells Bells - AC/DC
11. Hotel California - The Eagles
12. Layla - Eric Clapton
13. Sweet Home Alabama - Skynyrd
14. The Night the Lights went out in Georgia - Vikki Lawrence
15. Givin' the dog a bone - AC/DC
16. What's your name - Skynyrd
17. Two Tickets to Paradise - (I forget)
18. Thunderstruck - AC/DC
19. If you want blood - AC/DC
20. T for Texas - Skynyrd
21. Simple Man - Skynrd
22. Hammer to Fall - Queen
23. A Horse with no name - America
24. Live and Let Die - The Wings
25. Sandman - America
26. The Immigrant Song (I think it's the 70s) - Led Zepplin
27. You shook me all night Long - AC/DC (Back in Blacks an amazing album)
28. Saturday Night Fever - Bee Gees
29. Sunshine of your Love - Cream
30. White Room - Cream
Ok, some of these might not be from the Seventies, I guessed on a few of them. If you spot any errors let me know. Also, what do you guys/gals like from the greatest decade in Human history (in my humble opinion at least)?

Layla was by Derek and the Dominoes.
Other than that, you made some great choices.

George Baker Selection.
You could have included Billy Preston's mesmerising Will it go 'round in circles (1973):
I got a song that ain't no melody, I'm gonna sing it to my friends (2x)
Will it go round in circles, will it fly high like a bird up in the sky (2x)
I got a story ain't no moral, I let the bad guy win every once in a while (2x)
refrain
I got a dance that ain't got no steps, I'm gonna let the music move me around (2x)
refrain (2x)
Re: Greatest Songs 1970-1980 (including '80)
ac/dc highway to hell is my favourite
Re: Greatest Songs 1970-1980 (including '80)
A good song but I think Layla is the legendary air guitar anthem out of Kaiser's list.

I'm going to enter the entire Pink Floyd Discography for that period. Get that out of the way.
Coming from New Jersey Capo, I'm suprised you left out any mention of Springsteen. He wrote some great songs in that period...Backstreets, Born to Run, NYC Serenade, et al.

How the hell can you leave out the BEST band of the 70's? No Black Sabbath songs?!
War pigs, Iron man, Snowblind, Under the sun, Sabbra cadabra, Sabbath bloody sabbath, National acrobat, Paranoid... There are so many, and many more I havent listed, Black Sabbath owned that decade, awesome tunes.
Of course an honourable mention to Pink Floyd and in particular Wish you were here - the album and especially the single.
