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!

Breakdown - Tom Petty (1976)
Those Shoes - Eagles (1979)

Loved the vibe on those two when I was a kid.

Is that your standard for good music from the '70's?

I don't think the OP was suggesting that defined "good music".  He was simply teeing up some input and reflection - of that category what did you like best?  I suspect nearly no one on this board believe Billboard Top 10 defines good music ! lol
