This was mine,The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun (Live 1970)
Great list of tunes. Thanks.
Patches
The industry made a connection to VM and Counting Crowes.
I never saw it but...I do like CC.
Just finished a case of beer.
Should I drink another beer (25th) or go to bed at 4AM?
Hmmmmmm.... 25 or 6-to-4.
Missing Terry Kath.
Agreed! It was the worst freakin’ song in the history of the universe!
One word at a time!
Every song listed in this tread was great except for Kiss an Angel Good Morning.
A bunch of guys in my class saw Charlie driving through town one day at lunch and followed him. They were late getting back to school but they were too pumped up to care.
1. American Pie - Don McLean
2. Kashmir - Led Zep
3. Riders on the Storm - The Doors
4. Roundabout - Yes
5. White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
6. Don’t Fear the Reaper - BOC
7. Radar Love - Golden Earring
8. I Cheat the Hangman - Doobie Brothers
9. Reelin’ in the Years - Steely Dan
10. I’d Love to Change the World - Ten Years After
Bonus: Just a Song Before I Go - Crosby Stills and Nash
All very early 70s before disco started ruining everything. Thank goodness rock came back in the 80s and again in the 90s. Pretty much dead now since rap has gone and ruined everthing again today like disco did back then. The difference is, disco was a flash in the pan fat. Rap has stayed and stayed and I hate it with a passion.
KUNG KU FIGHTING
Did not like that song
I would have included El Paso but I thought it was a 60s song. Love that song.
So I guess we’ll disagree. You see that song Kiss an Angel Good Morning was on the juke box at a small restaurant a buddy of mine owned in Long Beach, California at the time the lady I was about to marry, and I were dating. That song sort of became ours for the time. Now we’re almost forty years married, and that song remains an important part of our lives.
I am PA announcer at the local football games, and I often play the "Tomorrow is the Last to Be Heard" cut at pregame. The drum solo really gets the juices going.
Ditto-—The Long and Winding Road.
I believe I’ll second that Black Sabbath.
1970, Janis and Jimi left us, RIP icons.
I went through a bad time with my health years ago, and my husband was by my side every minute. It was difficult for him, so every time I hear that song I think of that time. It always makes me cry.
Rats,thought it was 1970 decade. OK, I am going to have to go back and revisit this sucker.
25 or 6 to 4
Venus
I’ll Never Fall in Love Again
Green Eyed Lady
Ides of March
Vanilla songs and easy listening songs always make it to #1. The best music is always appreciated by only a portion of the people so it never gets to #1. In the same way that “Threes Company” and became #1 TV hits. Pure trash but appealed to a wide base of people. Meanwile, awesome shows like Twin Peaks, Eli Stone, and Starter Wife get cancelled after 2 years.
“so overplayed on jukebox and Top 40 radio”
And that is an understatement-I worked as a cocktail waitress thru college in a nightclub that catered to tourists and military-sometimes I wanted to grab something and smash that jukebox into a pile of wreckage at the edge of the dance floor...
Thank you for sharing that music site, I was unaware of it til now.
