Anyone remember the 80's series we did a few months back? Thought it was cool, but for me, I've always had a sneaking suspicion about the 70's being a better musical decade. Time to find out.
So I'm going rogue, none of the other dudes that post forums on here know about this because they exclude me in their weekly collusion meetings. I'm good with it though, I like being independent.
Back to the 70's. It was the decade that I fell in love with music, it was also a decade of change. Tons of styles and fads as we will surely hear on this journey... The other reason I wanted to do this was to, in some way, beef up my early 70's collection. I was 4 on 1/1/1970 and 14 on 12/31/1979 so clearly those first few years of the decade are some that I would love to go back and hear more of.
So that’s that! 1970 is up first!
Some wiki-facts about 1970 to enhance the listening experience and to annoy Jon (all other content come from allmusic)...

I guess it's ok.....at least there's a picture of Goldie.
Thank you sir! 1970 was indeed a very classic and pivotal year in Rock and Roll... What a way to kick off a decade! It didn't take long to leave the summer of love in the dust!!
Here's a trivia question (no cheating now).
What was the # 1 single on the charts when you woke on the 1st day of a new decade, Jan. 1, 1970?
No Wiki, No Google, No nothing... = No Idea! But Im going to guess anyway...
Beatles - Come Together...
NO!!!
It was Raindrops Are Falling On My Head by BJ Thomas.
And I am still not sure what that BJ signifies, lol!
I know what it means to me...hehehehehe!!!
This was long. I had to take a long break after the third song, a REALLY long break. Ok, I slept and finished the last two songs since my batteries were recharged. I guess you were trying to make a point with five songs instead of three, what the point is, I don't know. Hopefully in the future these SHT lists aren't this long. Some of us have a life, you know.
On to the music:
Not a big Poco fan, but this song was pretty good. More rock than country fer shure.
Have to dock a point for the Three Dog Night song since you showed the incorrect album cover and this was even after you stated what album you took the song from. In the future you need to match up with what you're saying.
James Gang, what an odd singer. Wonder if he sang any other songs. Just an odd voice.
"Let It Rain" is one of the few Clapton songs I can stand. He just really never appealed to me with most of his solo stuff.
I have the re-re-mastered version of that Zep album. AND I STILL HAVEN'T OPENED IT! Isn't that funny?
Please remember to donate to Wikipedia so your posts are 100% factual! Without Wikipedia, imagine where you would be! Just imagine it! Scary, huh????
After this series, I'm going back to prog... first playlist is "Long Songs" - I'm going to post 5 tracks that are at least 15 minutes in length, and you and RJ have to listen! ((insert contractual obligation note here))
I'm a big Poco fan, and songs like this are the reason why, but my favorite version of the band is when Paul Cotton joined in... May have to showcase him someday (now don't you and RJ go gettin' any ideas for collusion)
To address your TDN album cover point. This is a post about 1970, The Complete Hit Singles compilation didn't exist in 1970, so I chose to post the actual album cover the song was released on and note where I pulled the MP3 from in case there was differences. So don't start any shenanigans, I'm right...
as usual...
Agree with you on Clapton. My brother is his biggest fan. I'm hit and miss... But I do like his debut solo.
