This was mine,The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun (Live 1970)
Condolences for your loss. Your departed hubby had a great ear for excellent music.
A lot of people are unaware that Jimi didn’t write All Along The Watchtower, which is understandable, since he so truly made the song his own. The author, Bob Dylan, once remarked that he liked Jimi’s version better than his own.
“Heart started in 1967 and was going strong in the 70s.”
Yep. I had a memory lapse there for a minute. Embarrassing!
“Aja. The whole damn album.”
I second that. In an era of great, even legendary music, that album was one of the best.
“I might my find myself in Texas again, one day, and that sounds like my kind of place!”
Don’t come here in the Spring. You’ll never want to leave.
Lots of great songs already listed that were favorites of mine back then.
While I was just a pup then, now I would say one of my favorites from 1970 is ELP’s “Take a Pebble”. I’m guessing it didn’t make the radio too much back in the day?
ELP - Live in Switzerland

“guess you weren’t around in the 70’s then...”
Of course I was. Why else do you think I unloaded such an outstanding brain fart? LOL
“Try to buy the {British release on Polydor] of Jimi’s last concert: Live at the Isle of Wight.”
I tried to tell you earlier that I own both the LP and the CD versions of that concert, but I screwed up the post.
LOL... i'll accept that! 8^)
Roll With the Changes
ooops....wrong year...has to be Make Me Smile
I love this thread, mainly because I was born at the end of 1970. I had to look up the top songs of that year.
Some of my favorites: 25 or 6 to 4-Chicago
The Thrill is Gone-B.B. King
Bridge Over Troubled Water-Simon and Garfunkel
Come and Get It- Badfinger
The Long and Winding Road-Beatles
Ball of Confusion-Temptations
Mama Told Me Not to Come- 3 Dog Night
I’m finding that there were a lot of good songs that year. This gives me the idea to make a birthday playlist:)
Here’s another interesting one: D.O.A. by Bloodrock
A very dark, morbid song but a good one. I like dark and depressing songs.
- Favorite song from the 70’s is Dust in the Wind -
Kansas was one of my favorite groups in the 70’s (my high school years), and I still listen to them often.
Here is Dust in the Wind from a concert they did in ‘09 - with full orchestra - AWESOME

Chicago: 25 or 6 to 4.
What an epic jam.
That was awesome. Thanks!
For the longest time, the riddle for me what what the title actually meant. Finally, some Freeper reminded me of a Midwest (Michigan, as far as I remember) way of saying the time. He/she said, "Think of it as "25 or 6 (26) to 4", as in 25 or 26 minutes before 4 o'clock. I haven't been back to Michigan since 1972, although I had been raised there, and I had forgotten that method of talking about minutes before or after the hour.
Your riddle about song-writing and drugs is a whole other kettle o' fish ... but, as you say, either makes sense.
LZIII was my first LZ album. Had the old school one with the wheel that turned in the album cover, to change/modify the graphics.
LOL. I never go to bars, but there was a retro diner in the neighborhood when I was little. It is still there I’m sure, since it was PA where people still use their ggg-grandfather’s tools.
The line between antique collector and archaeologist is very faint in PA. I know several collectors who have pinball machines and jukeboxes, but they don’t actually play them. They’re on display like the neon bar signs and the Indian arrowheads.
Also, those tabletop, art-deco style silver boxes played rockabilly mostly. Thus I capeesh rockabilly.
And I do recognize Marty Robbins’ El Paso.
