Your Favorite Song From The 70's

[GNG]

It was really more about the last half of the 60's though. The first half of that decade was pretty sparse for good music.

Not really.

It would be easier (but not much easier) to say favorite album. Who's Next, Derek and Domino's, The Allman Bros Band Live at the Fillmore East, Lou Reed Rock and Roll Animal (Sweet Jane)

Best Album....

Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1mw4ImMUmQ]Waylon Jennings - Lonesome, On'ry and Mean - YouTube[/ame]

It's a long list of Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard for me.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lots of Bowie, Zappa, Dylan, the Stones, the Dead, Elton John...and a bunch of Soul/Funk, as well as stuff from the Jazz Fusion era would have to be included....but there's just too many to list...and way too hard to narrow it down to only one song.

Best Album....

Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones

Exile on Main St. too.....and what about, Some Girls?

Exile on Main St. too.....and what about, Some Girls?

All three are great albums.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison, Ram by Paul McCartney & Imagine by John Lennon are definitely in my top 25 albums of the 70's.

John Lennon - Imagine

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison, Ram by Paul McCartney & Imagine by John Lennon are definitely in my top 25 albums of the 70's.

All Things Must Pass was a good album but the other two were just average in my opinion.

No way, Motown was awesome in the first half of the 60's.

Not really.

Motown for what it was was good but not nearly a force like what came after the British invasion...the late 60's saw the explosion of many types of rock music that overshadowed the early 60s.

If you know the history of rock some of the most original material came out of the late 50's. The British Invasion brought back this sound after the influx of teen pop in the early 60's. Many British groups covered the music of these rock pioneers.

a few that need a mention...

Blow by Blow - Jeff Beck
Born to Run - Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce
'77 - Talking Heads
Marquee Moon - Televison
Electric Warrior - T-Rex
Innervisions - Stevie Wonder
Rumours - Fleetwood Mac

T-Rex were pioneers of glam or glitter rock in the early 70's. Marc Bolan died in a car accident at an early age.

Maybe where you come from but in my neck of the woods The Temptations, Ray Charles, Little Stevie Wonder and many others were just as listened to as anything that come from the British invasion.
