Bob Seger - we've got tonight, who needs tomorrow...

When I was a kid, the radio station I listened to would ALWAYS play that song on Christmas Eve, and it drove me crazy. What do they mean, who needs tomorrow??? Are they crazy?!?!?!?? lol

Oh I hate Feelings and Born In The USA

I Love Fleetwood Mac, Cher, ABBA, John Lennon, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel Free Bird, stairway to heaven, Aquarius, Bohemian Rhapsody. and depending on your point of view Barry Manilow, Rod Stewart, Donny and Marie, John Denver. Not fond of Meatloaf. That's all I can remember from High School.

Minnie Ripperton?

Yes, thank you. And Maya Rudolph (SNL fame) is her daughter. I don't know who wrote that song, but even as a child I thought those lyrics were dumb.

Tropical 10-25-2012 10:04 PM

While I loved many songs from the 70's, listening to them now often makes me feel sad. I don't know why? Here are a few that really take me back:

It Never Rains in Southern California by Albert Hammond
Behind Closed Doors by Charlie Rich
Most Beautiful Girl in the World by Charlie Rich

I still love the last two songs because my DH loved them, sang them to me and told me each time he heard them that they were his favorites because the songs made him think of me. He still tells me that. Isn't that wonderful? :):):)

I feel the same way. My opinion is it's because we're getting older, those days of our youth are gone. Waaaaaaa!

rdem 10-26-2012 12:55 AM

I am from the class of '74. The song that defines boys of that era for me is, "jump in my car" by the ted mullary gang,
it is definately an aussie song, but still makes me laugh!
my favourite 70's songs are many....but I was in love with cat stevens.
pink floyd....a great band...dark side of the moon....classic
bee gees ....another great band with so many great songs
dolly parton....my all time favourite female singer
olivia newton john.....numerous very good songs too
eagles, elton john, america, crosby steels and nash, slade, deep purple....and the list goes on

cindyscoralreef 10-26-2012 02:04 AM

Paradise by the dashboard light by meatloaf always gets me going

coopah 10-26-2012 04:32 AM

Remember that Stayin' Alive is the recommended beat for doing CPR. Not kidding. That's what we were told when we took a refresher class a year ago! Maybe that's because Travolta lives in this town. Just sayin.' Did you have any SUpremes(Stop! In the Name of Love) or how about Beatles...That was a great era in music.

damaquilts 10-26-2012 05:24 AM

Wow. All good stuff. I graduated in 1970 so all these are from my teenage years.

MaryAnnMc 10-26-2012 05:51 AM

Ugly, ugly, ugly, still makes my skin crawl: "I'm not in love" by 10cc ...as for the other suggestions, they're all great. I'd never be able to choose, But the ugly part I've got down pat.

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is my favorite

Not a 70's song but the best song ever is Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. Doesn't matter what artist sings it.

My grandson Micheal would sing along with John Denver while riding in my truck.
One day I asked him to sing Country Roads for Grampa......
He said no. I shamelessly bribed him with a dollar. Again he said No.
So I lost all my scruples and said I would give him 2 dollars......his reply.........


No Gramma, I don't need the money!!

And went off to play.



LOL

What about The Moody Blues Nights in White Satin? I remember I bought the album in a head shop on UT campus while on a journalism trip. (can't believe I remember that) And ... Loving Touchin and Squeezin by Journey. Love me some Steve Perry.

TnBecky 10-27-2012 06:10 AM

Okay I know that this is not a 70's song, but what about Thriller or Ghost by Michael Jackson. What is Halloween without songs like this. I love all of the songs mention & I too am a die hard 70's girl. :D I hope that you have a lot of fun.

SherriB 10-27-2012 08:05 AM

I am terrible at remember what year a song came from. But this was also my favorite!!!
