| Post subject: | 70s songs |
Hi all. A few weeks ago my lady walked into the room singing tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree. Since then I have been thinking (uh oh). Any way, I concluded that I "know" many of the popular songs in the 70s but don't remember them. IE - if you asked me to name you five great songs from the 70s I would actually be able to name none (oh actually maybe the Bee Gees). So I was wondering if you lovely lot could jar my memory for me and give me the names of the songs that were popular. I've got lots of Smokie, but would like to listen to the stuff that was being played when I was really young that I loved then but have forgot. |

Try tuning in to Absolute Radio 70s through their website or the app, and you'll get lots of gems. |

Just 70s, or specific genres? I mean, the 70s was big for motown, funk, disco, rock, early punk, ska, easy listening, and pop - there's an incredibly large amount of stuff to cherry pick from. Cherry picking a few seminal albums: Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel Rumours by Fleetwood Mac Never Mind The Bollocks by The Sex Pistols Who's Next by The Who Ramones by The Ramones A Night At The Opera by Queen One Of These Nights by The Eagles Christ there's an infinite amount to choose from. |

You're dross. The 70s was a fucking great period in music. Not only for so much music in its own right, but for setting up the environment that produced the glorious 80s. |

I'd include Back in Black by AC/DC, actually. Sure it came out in 80, but was recorded in the 70s. |

Thanks. Yeah, that's what I'm looking for  just the good catchy songs of the 70s that I can't remember.Kinda like you see an advert and it's got an old song from the 70s or 80s that you had completely forgotten about and forgotten how awesome it was. Back in those days it was hard for me to listen to them over and over because I was aged between 0-6 during the 70s and only got into buying records in the 80s. So yeah, time moved on and I have just forgotten many of them and need a prod to remember. |

Smokie are and always were one of my favourite bands. They're still quite popular in Europe. IIRC Elton John started in the late 60s through the 70s too. I'm not a huge fan of his apart from Rocket Man and Yellow Brick Road. |

I loved disco music. I loved to dance when I was a kid and it was great music to move to. A few years back I clearly remember loading D.I.S.C.O into my car's stereo MP3 thing and driving down the road chair dancing like an idiot. Fantastic stuff ! |

There's some Disco with great, grooving bass lines. Some of it is fab. When I was in charge of music in the previous place I used to enjoy making Friday afternoons the disco session. I think the rest of the team enjoyed it. |

It might be a perfect storm of all the above. I saw Fleetwood Mac last year live at the IOW festival. Had an emotional meltdown whilst singing along to 'Landslide'. Pretty sure the teenage festival-goers around me thought I was a nutcase. I fear this information may hinder rather than help the legitimacy of said correctness.

I can't remember, was Craster the idiot with the 'you're safer the closer to a grenade you are', the idiot with the 'attatch dynamos to an electric car's wheels and drive forever' or the idiot who couldn't get why a plane on a conveyor belt could still take off? I know who the idiot who thought that if you were on top of a moving truck and jumped you'd immediately stop moving and fall off the truck. He still has stupid ideas about things. #IndependentScotland |

Kinda like the male and female versions of the same thing. I would probably not like Rod Stewart or Elkie Brooks if it weren't for my parents. Dad was a huge Stewart fan and I remember going through his records whilst he was still alive. We still have all of them like but they're at my brother's atm. Mum used to listen to Pearl's a singer when she was ironing so again there's that affiliation there. It was kinda like me being so young I didn't really have a choice. I doubt the memories would be so strong if it weren't for my dad dying and me being an aspie. Even though my dad died when I was seven I still have very strong memories of him and things I did with him. Like throwing stones into a plastic bucket on the beach to win a Adam and The Ants Tshirt with my name on So yeah, it's more like by affiliation rather than my own choice. |
