If you're talking the quintessential songs of the 1970s, you need to add "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" to the list.

That opening gravel-voiced bark of Rod's on the song - "Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you". Always sounded impressive to the pre-teen me. Real disappointment when I finally saw what Rod Stewart looked like, dressed in bona fide '70s era skin tight pants and a head of hair worthy of Farrah Fawcett.
