What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s?


As many agree the 1970’s had the best pop music of any recorded era, I thought it would be very interesting to see what Audiogon members have to say about this. I know 5 is tough but I did not want to make this post too long winded. As always I appreciate your time and selections. My top 5 are...


#1 Baker Street-Gerry Rafferty 1978 #2
#2 Summer Breeze-Seals & Crofts. 1972 #6
#3 American Pie-Don Mclean. 1972 #1
#4 Ricki Don’t Lose That Number. 1974 #4
#5 Miracles-Jefferson Starship. 1975 #3

Yes there are many great songs I could have placed here but this is my list for 8/18/21. Look forward to your responses!

3. Ballroom Blitz - The Sweet
4. Into The Void - Black Sabbath
5. A tie between - Without You/Coconut - Harry Nilsson

Not exactly what you were asking for, but I didn't think it would hurt to broaden the choices a bit....



The OP wants the Top 5 or 10 songs of the 70's on the Billboard chart! NOT the songs you remember fondly!
Actually, he doesn't.
He wants your top 5 songs from the Billboard Top Ten of the 70's.
It didn't define good music, but it certainly contained A lot of it.
A good thread. A nice change of pace from the usual fuse arguments, amp class arguments, tweak arguments, contact enhancer arguments, power cord arguments......
