Best Song of the 1970's

[Band of Brothers]

When you talk about songs of the 70's this one might be the most powerful of them all. This song hits you right in the heart and guts. Amazing song.

John Lennon - Working Class Hero


We miss you John Lennon.

Never really got them that much, too pop for my tastes.

I consider Madonna and Michael Jackson to be pop stars, not ELO.

He was better when he was with the Beatles.

I think someone posted Levon or maybe it was another thread. Moondance is another on my desert island short list. Innervisions was Stevie's ultimate masterpiece, imho of course. Good list.

Title track from a great album......Tom Verlaine & Fred "Sonic" Smith at their best.

Ho yeah...love that syncopated clapping! Their sound always reminded me of these guys:

I am forever singing this song. It is not necessarily my favorite song but it is one that I find myself singing all the time.

 

[Godstree]

In 1989 I found this song again (heard it when I was way younger) and it was my favorite song for a good solid year. I think it had something to do with a girl named Shelly.........

Put your hands together for this

 

[Godstree]

Never underestimate the influence of George Clinton. Fuck disco, play me some real funk!

Amen, and Bruno Mars ain't got nothing on George!

 

[Godstree]

Just about every song by Little Feat with Lowell George.

I don't think I have come across any song yet here that I don't like but I have noticed some bands missing from my favorites of the era. Little Feat is on and Doobie Brothers in another.
