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!

No disrespect intended to previous posters but when the Beatles channel puts on "Hey Jude", I change the channel. That one and "Yesterday" were so overplayed on hit radio in the 70's (and beyond), I just can't listen.
Without regard to Billboard, my five favorite 70’s albums would be:

Cat Stevens- Tea For The Tillerman
Joni Mitchell- Court And Spark
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young- Deja Vu
Bob Dylan- Blood On The Tracks
Jethro Tull- Thick As A Brick

I grew up with these albums, and now own all of them in three formats; cassette, CD and vinyl. I’m sure I’m not alone. If I were adding more, I would include David Bowie, Neil Young and The Who.
