I've really enjoyed reading this post and re-living high school. I love a lot of the songs listed. Midnight at the Oasis brings back special memories for me.

Anything sung by Barry Manilow.

Donna Summer "I Feel Love"
Anything by Barry White, Al Green

Oooh, so difficult! This is my pared-down list, in no particular order, and no going back over it because I would have added loads more!

Sometimes when we touch - Dan Hill
Follow You, Follow Me - Genesis
Three Times a Lady - Commodores
We've Got Tonight - Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who
House of the Rising Sun - Animals
A Horse with No Name - America
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Whiskey in the Jar - Thin Lizzie (because I bought the single for my mum thinking she would love it!!!)
Mouldy Old Dough - Lieutenant Pigeon (just too funny)
Baby I love your Way - Peter Frampton
I'll Have to say I Love You in a Song - Jim Croce
You are so Beautiful - Joe Cocker

That's only a fraction of my real list! I have to cringeingly admit I used to cry myself to sleep over David Soul singing "Don't Give Up On Us"!!!! Anyone else?

I Didn't Promise You a Rose Garden - Good

Just can't think of anymore right now must need more coffee. LOL

Back to the BEST - Ya need to throw in some by The Temptations and The Four Tops! Was thinking those were from my 60s days but they continued into the 70s, as well. I graduated from high school, in '71, so the two decades kinda run together, for me.

I have to say, some of the songs, on others' BEST lists, would be on my WORST list . . . and vice-versa! :D

Wait a minute here ... I cannot shake my booty like I used to or my hips will have to see a chiropractor !LOL
Hmmmm... Lots of good songs came out of the 70's including some umm One hit wonders .. I would have to really break this up and say: Transsiberian Orchestra (yah I am a fan of the old band era -and no I am not THAT old !LOL, hmm maybe that was the 80's ? Hmmmm not really sure anymore its that door way study..LOL).
Gosh never really thought about it .. hmm must go listen to the cd's of 70's music to figure it out .. LOL
