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!

You might want to have look at this .. the racing site that is "the go too" for us NHRA class Racers has a little thread "Musical Taste". A buddy and me started it a year ago, and so far it has 84 thousand views (from racers). Its a thread similar to this one but everyday we post another favorite. I admit I been slipping lately, but theirs some pretty good viewpoints on it ... Have a look ..

Hey Mitchagain...So true, they don't meet the Billboard criteria, but nice eclectic mix:
Five stars for Southerland Bros & Quiver; Steely Dan; Ian Gomm and Rare Earth.
Artemus...I remember "Sausalito" very well...1980 or 81?  Liked it.  Also remember I didn't like the other LP tracks.  Oh well.
McKinney Mike...A long shot, or maybe just a lot of Mike McKinneys out there, but did you by any chance once live in Northern Virginia and work for the Feds, circa 1979-83?
