Favourite 5 singles of the 70s
|
|
As an alternative to the constant bickering on the political threads how about thinking of your favourite singles from that greatest of all decades, the 70s ! The variety of music in this decade was astonishing so should give you plenty of scope but try to limit the number to 5 and make sure they were singles not just album tracks !
1) Life On Mars - David Bowie
2) Pyjamarama - Roxy Music
3) Shake Some Action - Flamin' Groovies
4) Complete Control - The Clash
5) Transmission - Joy Division

1) She's out of my life Michael Jackson
2) Bohemian Rhapsody Queen
3)Rocket man Elton John
4) Heart of Glass Blondie
5 What's going on Marvin Gaye
With respect this is impossible to do and I have left out so many probably superior songs or forgotten some so I would not say these are cemented top 5 favourites of mine but they are favourites especially the very emotional rendition from a very young Michael Jackson that I put at no 1.

To think in 1985 had you asked me the same question one of Garry Glitter's songs might have sneaked in there, that cunt was a big part of my childhood .

Best decade for music, so it's virtually impossible to choose
a Top 5. Most mine have already been listed, so I'll go for some less obvious choices:
Airport - The Motors
Mr Blue Sky - ELO
Let It Be - The Beatles
Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd
The Eton Rifles - The Jam
