cbacon Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 There's hundreds I like but can't recall the name of the song or band for any of them. Of course huge bands like The Beatles or Hendrix are a given, but I was thinking along the lines of bands like The Byrds or Joe Cocker. Although lesser known Beatles and Hendrix songs are good too.
The Czech Republic Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Do you went me to start with 1970 and go to 1979?
spiny norman Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 The Beatles, Hendrix and The Byrds would all be more associable with the 60s than the 70s.
Guest Temet Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 "Wish You Were Here" - Pink Floyd, to start with.
Crimson Platypus Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen Landslide by Fleetwood Mac LA Woman by The Doors Witchy Woman by Eagles Rocket Man by Elton John Turn the Page by Bob Seger Piano Man by Billy Joel I Want You to Want Me by Cheap Trick Young Americans by David Bowie Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel Behind Blue Eyes by The Who just for starters...
Guest PlatinumBoy Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen just for starters... Basically anything from Springsteen in the 70's is great--Born to Run, Badlands, Blinded by the Light, Spirit in the Night, Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out....... basically anything he wrote then.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Anything King Crimson did from 73-75.
B. Brian Brunzell Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Here's a few: "In the Summertime"- Mungo Jerry "Your Song"- Elton John "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'?"- The Rolling Stones "Uncle Remus"- Frank Zappa "Echoes"- Pink Floyd "Auf Weidersen"- Cheap Trick "Hocus Pocus"- Focus "Bang on the Drum"- Todd Rundgren "Cowboy Song"- Thin Lizzy "Rebel, Rebel"- David Bowie "I'm So Bored with the USA"- The Clash
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 The Beatles, Hendrix and The Byrds would all be more associable with the 60s than the 70s. Quit being polite. Hendrix and the Beatles released their finals albums in 69-70. There's no 70's music from thsoe guys. And the Byrds dropped off after 1968's Sweetheart of the Rodeo.
Henry Spencer Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 "Bang on the Drum"- Todd Rundgren This song was released in the eighties.
B. Brian Brunzell Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Oops...my bad. I thought that came out in like '78 or '79.
Special K Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 The Clash and London Calling albums from the Clash. All kinds of Funkadelic. I like 'the electric spanking of war babies' album. All kinds of Bowie, he has greatest hits albums by time period that I'm sure you can look up on Amazon (I'm sometimes hazy on when he did certain albums)
snuffbox Posted October 16, 2004 Report Posted October 16, 2004 Neil Young - Check out everything (After The Goldrush, Harvest, Stars N Bars, Tonights The Night, Rust Never Sleeps)... Eagles Greatest Hits (first one) is a must-own record... It was a pretty good decade for music, just keep searching and discoverin new shit...but, avoid the 'arean-rock' garbage at cost(Journey, REO, Styx, etc)

Angel_Grace_Blue Posted October 30, 2004 Report Posted October 30, 2004 Weather Report's pretty good. Parliament. Clinton rocks. Sly and the Family Stone have some stuff from the 70s, too. I think...
Guest Brian Posted November 6, 2004 Report Posted November 6, 2004 Dylan released some of his best stuff during this timeframe. Although, he was motherfucking awesome during other time periods, 1975 marked "Blood on the Tracks".
