Classic Songs from 70s

[BrianO]

I have very distinct memories of hearing 'Baker Street' on the radio, seemingly nonstop, in 1978, when I was 4. That might be the first song I associated with a year.

Freebird by Lynyrd skynyrd on the Old Grey Whistle Test 1975.

Yeah, remember this performance well....excellent!

For me, the 70s was the decade of wonderful prog-rock.
Here are just a few that spring to mind:

Yes - And You and I
Genesis - The Musical Box
Van Der Graaf Generator - Refugees
Focus - Hocus Pocus
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Camel - Lady Fantasy
Barclay James Harvest - She Said
Emerson Lake & Palmer - Karn Evil 9
King Crimson - Starless
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

Some great toons here Cartimand!.....good call.

Growing up in the 70s as a kid, its the bubblegum pop and glam rock that takes me back to my childhood
chirpy chirpy cheep cheep, little Willy, crazy horses and T. rex.
wasnt til I got older and really appreciated the quality of the real classic stuff that was produced then.

The classic 70s catalogue is too vast but i like both your choices here, the 70s gave us so much musically,just coming out of the 60s there was still a lot of psychedelia about and then of course we had glamrock, punk,disco, also heavy rock was more popular than ever
