    Default Classic '70's songs (the GENUINE classics)

    I was waiting to see if Quiteus would finally get to a decent decade, but I'm tired of waiting.

    Let's see how many true classic songs we can post now that there's a decent well to draw from. I'll get us started with a few of the most obvious:

    Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

    Foghat - Slow Ride

    Pink Floyd - Fat Old Sun

    the Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Takin' Care of Business (my personal favorite so far... you just gotta love a song that's all about being a lazy-ass bum. )

    Free - All Right Now (Technically speaking, I think this came out in '69 or so, but it's close enough, at least in spirit.)

    Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in the Jar

    Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper

    Kansas - Carry On my Wayward Son

    And, of course, by necessity:
    Boston - More than a Feeling

    Now post 'em!

    You're dead to me.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Skynyrd - Free Bird
    Doors- Riders on the Storm
    Stones - Gimme Shelter
    CCR - Run Through the Jungle
    Derek and the Dominos/Clapton - Layla

    I could probably keep listing these for hours. Quite possibly the best musical decade ever.

    I always preferred the original version, since no one sings Dylan like Dylan.

    Making an exception of multiple picks for the greatest ever :

    "Forever Loving Jah" - Bob Marley & the Wailers. Technically '80, but really a 70s tune.

    "Guiltiness" - Bob Marley & the Wailers. (Blocked in Youtube).

    "Africa Unite" - Bob Marley & the Wailers.

    "Rebel Music" - Bob Marley & the Wailers.

    "Sun Is Shining" - Bob Marley & the Wailers. (Alternate version. The best version is blocked in Youtube).

    And one from Tosh:

    "I Am That I Am" - Peter Tosh

    Great thread Rev!

    AC/DC - It's a Long Way to the Top if You Want to Rock and Roll - Feature the late, great Bon Scott as lead singer, arguably AC/DC's best singer and without a doubt one of the best lyricists of that era. This is also the best hard rock song (and perhaps the only one?) that sports bagpipes... and doesn't suck!

    And... like most AC/DC song from the Scott era, it's a kickass song to drive to.

    Few more for you:

    Hawkwind - You Shouldn't Do That (part 2... )

    Grand Funk Railroad - I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home live '71 (Dude, Mark, please put a shirt on...)

    Would anyone kill me if I posted a little Bad Company? (It's Rock Steady, one of their two good songs...)

    And just to prove that white people aren't the only ones with cheesy music... The Commodores - Brick House
