Oh how Music thrived during the 70s. I love this era SO MUCH!
ABBA,Led Zeppelin, Chic,Black Sabbath,& the Carpenters. Now that's what i call an awesome list.😎👍👍
Yeahh, folks, you see? Here it is, THIS music, one of the few reasons why I’m still stayin alive!
Name a decade with a more complete diversified sound of great music and musicians. I'll wait.
I was born in March 1963 so I was a child of the 1970s and glad I lived in that time. We had the BEST Music great TV people were friendlier and times we more easy. My favourite 1970s 2 songs are 1 Bridge over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel and 2 How Deep is your Love. Bee Gees.
I was born in d 70s & I love 70s but I believed 80s is golden era music .
The best decade. 70's forever
The 60's were far better!!!
Ha if u remember it u wernt there party 7 n a bifter
If you don't like 70s music, why are you here?
@@veronicaprado_ To let you know that The BIGG 80’s hands down the best Decade in music, Amen
My dad was a kid in the '70s. Those are the popular songs in his childhood says.
I'm waiting for 00 songs that defined the '00s !
"_" by "_" is my favorite song from the 00's.
Don't make me feel old that makes me feel old
Exactly. I couldn't name one band that write their own music and play their own instruments from the 00's. Unlike the 70's that produced a plethora of amazing bands, whose music is still played today on commercial radio.
@@VolkColopatrionsame! 😂
Yeah the 1900s were the best!
Retro greetings from coastal Mississippi. So glad l heard these treasures first hand in the 70's. Such a great musical decade. ABBA 50 this April 2024. Thanks for the groovy tunes❤😂🎉
Brilliant List, great job as always. Thank You 😊
Thanks for all of these songs, my dearly departed mother loved to dance to them all. 💃💕
These songs bring back good memories. Thank you Some Random Guy👍
Very few I didn't recognize. Thank you. Love the trips down memory lane.
Ah, Let It Be... I sang this song on my father's funeral more than a year ago... Everytime I hear it, I remember all time I spent with him, despite painful.
I miss him dearly.
Sorry for your loss, take care 🤗
I'm Sorry For Your Loss
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
Thanks for the memories SRG!
It Feels So Good To Go Back To Memory Lane
The Golden Age
Fantastic compilation!
70s rock forever.
Part 2, please!
So many great songs and many memories relived. It is like my life through the 70's in song.😅 Life seemed simpler then as a teenager despite the usual angst. Music certainly played a big part in my life.🤗
I had started listening to Western music in the mid 80s. After reaching my 40s, I understood that the 70s was the best era. Most of the songs in my present collection are 70s hits. The best era.
The 70s had some great music!😊
Look at the all kinds of music we had at hand...unbelievable.
Another great montage by Some Random Guy. Personally would have liked to have included the first record I ever bought "Dont Give Up on US" by David Soul RIP. But a great collection all the same
The 70's: the decade where I was born! 😄😄😄😄
Thanks For Sharing!
Here before it gets taken down again
Soundtrack of my 20’s WOW!!!
Great video bro
Marvelous! Thanks. ✨
I love the story of when Queen were in the studio and Sid Vicious showed up and mocked their sound. Freddie mocked him right back, calling him Simon Ferocious and grabbed him by his lapel, picked him off the floor and literally threw him out of the studio.
I hope this doesn’t change your view of the ultimate singer, but that’s just a story. And a sad one. Sid was 6’ 2” and outweighed Freddy by about 15 pounds. Freddy was 5’9” or 5 inches shorter
@@debbylou5729 Brian May himself told the story several times. And Roger Taylor corroborated it.
Size and weight become irrelevant if you are motivated enough.
@@FuzzyFoot58too right. Height and weight don’t mean much if you don’t know how to use them
Yet another excellent compilation of 🎵 from.a superb decade that was the 70's along with the 60's & 80's we were blessed with terrific artists & song writers never to be repeated!! Thank you for that SRG 😊❤🎉
Good selection!😊
❤ 70's
Hope you had a great Day. 💕
Love your Videos. ❣️
Greetings from Germany. 💞
❤️🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🩷🤎🖤🩶🤍
O the memories love to be back there again thanks for sharing 😅😅❤❤
Wow what a collection of songs, thank you for the memories. Everyone of those songs could beat any of the rubbish produced in the last 25 years.
What a great video Random!! I think I listened to these songs more than I did the 80's songs when growing up. You always bring back memories for me/us gen X'ers:) Thank you!!
Good ones.
Excellent selection. ❤
The good stuff has stood the test of time. The crap has been forgotten. People sometimes forget this and conclude that all music from the past was better than today's music.
My pick for the most influential song remains I Feel Love. Along with Blue Monday a few years later, the beginning of a whole new genre.
Im a gen z and I love old music. I do like some of now music but mostly good old music.
@@nataliejones8308 I was a teenager in the '70s and remember it well.
At the time a recording was only released if somebody other than the artist liked it and thought it was worthwhile. Now any idiot can upload to CZcams/Spotify/whatever. It shows.
@@marsgal42 The artists I love from the 70s are Queen, David Bowie, Genesis, Boston, Elton John, ABBA, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Dolly Parton, Stevie Wonder, Eagles, The Police, Billy Joel, KISS, Led Zeppelin.
The list goes on. I feel like I listen to old music because my parents listen to them growing up as well. I wish people in my generation accepted these kind of music since it's "Real" music than now.
@@nataliejones8308 How do you define "real music"?
@marsgal42 no auto tune, have good talent by playing the drums (like Phil Collins, Roger Taylor, Neil Peart, list goes on), the guitar (Eddie Van Halen, Tony Iomni (if that’s his name, from Black Sabbath), list goes on), bass ( Alec John Such (Bon Jovi), John Deacon, list goes on), and singer (Freddie Murcury, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Steven Tyler, list goes on).
I know this is music related but off topic with the 70s and more old music but I have played trombone for 8 years and have a lot of musical talent. I agree with what you said (as a gen z since you already know). I don’t want to argue or anything, I’m just agreeing with you with what you’re saying. I get educated with music and pop culture so…..
EXCELLENT 🤩🤩🕺🕺💃💃
Love this music, so many good memories❤
Aaah my teenage years, soo good. That music is still playing in my house, will to the day I die and hopefully at my funeral so everyone can dance their feet off 💕💕💕💕

Some great choices there.
There were so many great songs over the decade it's impossible to get them in when it's limited to 70.
Cockney rebel sebastian
@@louisuytdenhouwen8078I forgot that one love that song
Voodoo Chile is from the 60s
Great list, but there are many more songs that I really think should be mentioned here.
Life in the Fast Lane
Take it Easy
Desperado
Highway to Hell
Wish You Were Here
Man on the Silver Mountain
Highway Star
Burn
It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock and Roll)
Whole Lotta Rosie
Heartache Tonight
Wonderful Tonight
Cocaine
Lay Down Sally
Let There Be Rock
Iron Man
These are just some many favorites of mine. I'm not really huge into disco.
Exciting!
Fun Decade🎉
Great list😊
Despite being born in 1981, I heard most of these songs when I was a kid. I became familiar with "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" through a remix that was released in 1993. I was already familiar with "Hotel California," but when I heard the acoustic version on that MTV special in 1994, it was love at first listen. I wish I got to hear "Sultans of Swing" back in the '80s (I'm not sure how I missed it back then), but I did look at the video in early 2024 and I discovered why it was so popular.
You started on the right path to music..
Thank you so much Random Guy!! 98% of the songs were when I was in High School. Soooo many memories. Thank you man!
Hay hay hay!!! (Cue theme song)
Excellent 70’s playlist, thank you, dare I say Ruby Tuesday -Melanie should be included, I know we all have our favourites but Melanie certainly made this Stones track her own🚲😎🇳🇱
Oh je hebt gelijk broer! 🫡😎🤠
Child in time deserved too be on this list 😅
Let me guess: yesterday's video got a copyright strike and you had to re-upload it? That must be annoying! I love your videos! ❤
Yes, yesterday's video got blocked.
IN 1970 I WAS 4 YEARS OLD AND IN THE END OF THAT DECADE I WAS 13 TO 14 YEARS OLD(1980), SO I REMEMBER SOME OF THE HITS BEFORE THE END OF THAT DECADE.🇨🇾🇨🇾👍👍
This was fun!😃 Maybe just about 10 songs here that I can't relate to or don't like. The rest - 💯
J’ai pris une claque en visionnant cette vidéo
❤️❤️❤️💔
Mais j’ai apprécié
Quel souvenir !!!!
🤦
Hugs from Brazil 🎉
Molto bello il video io sono un tuo grande fan
Yeah, some great memories there. Ok, I didn't think much of the Bay City Rollers, and I didn't think much of the Village People, but I do remember virtually every one of those songs. Glad you remembered Baker Street, that was a defining song.
Stairway of course, but every single track off LZ number 4 deserves to be on this list.
Did we get something off Dark side o the Moon?
Did we get something off War o the worlds?
What about Suzi Q and Devil Gate Drive?
How about some Neil Diamond ~ Sweet Caroline perhaps? Not exactly my speed but if you're defining the music of a decade, you really can't leave that out.
How about a bit of Meatloaf? Almost any track off that album but perhaps the best was the title track.
If you're going to have Do the Hustle (which I'm not arguing with) then you got to have Everybody was Kung Fu fighting ~
The Night Chicago died ~
Ma Baker ~
The 70s started out brilliantly then slid into black ghetto disco. Dire Straits and The Police led us back into the sunlight.
very nice and very concise compilation but i miss Blitzkrieg Bop from The Ramones and Let there be rock (or High Voltage) from AC/DC that should not be missing
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Toute ma jeunesse de18 à 24 ans 🥲
Only one song that I didn’t know. No songs by Styx or Jim Croce? 🤔🤔🤔
By the rivers babylon I was with my dancing queen, then we sat down with our bohemian rhapsody and we stared at the blue sky and those nearby we told them, we will rock you and they misunderstood and we didn't want our waterloo!
Dear Some random guy 😉!! Thanks for efforts ☺️. And let's all, who strikes your so short cuts, be cursed!!! They are stupidly greedy freaks. And simply don't understand that we, after your reminder, go to their channels to hear full tracks. Thanks for your work
Any song by David Bowie, Donna Summer, ABBA, and The Bee Gees
Great transition from “Let It Be” to “Paranoid”😂
You Light Up My Life by Debbie Boon was number 1 in Billboard's Hot One Hundred for 10 weeks and is not in this list.
❤👌
Good list. Needed more Pink Floyd tho
What next? 60 songs that defined the 60's?
Yep knew it...
77%
I would have included Bennie and the Jets and Philadelphia Freedom.
ELTOOOOOON.
My only criticism: Switch out the Bay City Rollers - Bye, Bye, Baby, for Saturday Night.
Dsching Dsching Dschinghis Khan... 😂
What s the intro at 0:00?
Layla - Derek and the Dominos
If you decide to do another seventy...
Ray Stevens "The Streak"
Barbara Streisand "Memory"
Star Wars Theme
Bread "If"
Alicia Bridges "I Love The Nightlife"
"Beautiful Sunday"- Daniel Boone
Where were slade and the glitter band?
Nothing representing the whole teen fan thing - David Cassidy/Partridge Family, The Osmonds, not even the Jacksons!
What's the intro song?
Layla by Derek and the Dominoes
@@lagrandesatanichiakurumiza9630 Thanks.
it's impossible that there is only one David Bowie song...
Thought this was done last night?
There might have been a copyright claim filed or something, I am guessing.
Last night's video was blocked due to copyright infringement, so I replaced the song in question.
Curious as to what song was it?
Surprised the Eagles are still in there.
@@ELEcomments Highway to Hell - AC/DC
do you have email? I need help identifying a song!
119
Where's the Genesis, Yes and ELP?
Elton.

No ACDC ?
They were included in the original video with 'Highway to Hell' but then the video was blocked due to copyright infringement because of that song. So I replaced it and re-uploaded the video.
Smokie living next door to alice? Kraftwerk Das Model? Racey some girls?
The Bigg 80s,…..the Best Decade in Music
What a great list of songs. When someone comes along in 2074 and makes a list of great songs of the 2020s they'll have to limit it to 20 songs - music has gone terrible again. (Like it did between 1990 and 2010.) We did an icebreaker at work, what was the number 1 song on your 21st Birthday. Mine was Whitney Houston's cover of "I Will Always Love You," which I refused to play and instead played Dolly Parton's original. It was surprising how few people knew it was a cover, and how many people actually appreciated the original. Also, when I explained the lyrics are not about romantic love but a thank you/apology to her mentor after she quit his show for bigger things everyone understood why the songs first lyric is "If I stayed, I'll only be in the way.."
🤔🤔☹️☹️
Перезалив, но ладно)
Rivers of Babylon by Boney M? The others are massive hits; I've never heard of this song or artist...
Never heard of Boney M? My friend you’ve got hours of great listening in your future. They’re legendary.
You are probably from the US, where the song is relatively unknown. It was a massive number one hit in the UK / all over Europe in 1978.
Boney M❤
I was a kid in the 70’s. So many memories
Repites mucho, lo siento ya no te sigo
It's really crazy just one Pink Floyd song and that's it, I think the ultimate crazy thing is just one Bowie song, especially considering that you've two Queen songs, look, I respect you, you're probably young , but absolutely no artist from the late 70s had Freddie as a reference, instead, all had Bowie as a reference, whether in the most artistic pop like Kate Bush or in the most aggressive punk like Sid Vicious. Which by the way, you have to be truly out of your mind not to have Kate Bush's debut song
