    Default 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.

    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)

    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.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.
    Jean Paul Sartre - No Exit 1944
