Suggest 70's songs

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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)

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)

Also with Young, go with On the Beach--Incandenza (if the spellings wrong I apologoize) reviewed it song for song in that old "Rate the songs on the album" thread.

Minor thread jack here, but I'm looking from this song I believe to be from the 70's

 

The signature line is:

 

"Say it now....say it now...say it now...."

 

And the only other stuff I can make out is "Something Something hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmeeeee!!!" Say it now Say it now... etc

 

 

Anybody have a clue what I'm looking for?

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".
