Great song.
‘70s was great for “love” songs.
Add me. Even though 1962-1969 was the best period ever.
I’m in.
We can do that decade later.
I’m in!
I’ll just go ahead and tell you that I’ll auto-vote for Southern rockers every time.
Yeah, maybe that’s what the person was thinking of. That’s the last time I trust youtube comments. Heh.
Can’t guarantee any are in the top 7s! Probably not. You’d be surprised how much loses out.
Seriously, once you get your ping list set we need to add some wildcards!
One of my favorite songs...of any decade!
If Stairway wins I will puke.
What are the rules?
I remember.
This sounds good. I’m in.
I don’t remember anything from the ‘70s except Billie Joel...and that’s because I was living in Philly during the later part of the decade.
Yes, please ping me...although that does remind me of something called Pong?
Sign me up please.

Just for the letter “B” you had a great range of songs that showed the growing diversity of rock/pop music occurring then.
About 25% of the top 100 songs on the list could be omitted and others from 101-150 or 199 substituted and the quality would be the same.
And if you liked to dance, it was a cornucopia of sound.
Perhaps Rock and Roll is best summed up as a type of music by several songs:
* The Showmen - It Will Stand
* Danny & The Juniors - Rock and Rock Is Here to Stay
* Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - “Old Time Rock & Roll
* Billy Joel - “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me”
and lastly,
* Chuck Berry - “Rock and Roll Music” (the 5th 45 record I bought (1957).
Old Rock and Rollers never die. They just “Dance the Night Away”.
i’m in.
I’m in.
I’m in. Add me to the list, please. Best decade for music (and fun).
