my fav 70's music

random songs i like from the 70's... click the play button (twice, usually) to hear them.

If you find one that doesn't belong in the 70's decade, post a comment for me. Also, if any of these songs doesn't seem to work anymore, let me know. Thanks.

Carole King's voice has a raw, authentic quality to it. this tune is hauntingly sad and evokes the emotion of longing. This is "so far away."



another sad Carole King song. "It's too late" about lost love gone past the point of recovery.


Straight-ahead heavily-processed guitar rock by boston. "More than a feeling." if this doesn't get your blood pumping by the end, you're dead.



"Don't look back" by boston. Good time, high-energy rock with plenty of harmony. this song got blasted a lot from the dorm rooms during my freshman year in college. (says a little about my age!)



"foreplay" and "long time" by boston. An 8 minute romp into theater organ, synthesized guitars, throbbing drums, and screaching and soaring vocals.



understated fun rock by the eagles, "the long run." try not to tap your toes...



"hotel california." the eerie ballad by the eagles that everyone sings to but no one has any idea what it means. and it went for an unbelievable 6 1/2 minutes. unheard of on radio in the 70's.



"Best of my love" by the eagles. acoustic love song. good for slow dancing.



"witchy woman" by the eagles. i don't know if she was really witchy, but from the sound of the music she was at least spooky!



"take it easy" by the eagles. enough said.




"juke box hero" by foreigner. the anthem for every rock star wannabee...



hauntingly beautiful love song by foreigner. "waiting for a girl like you"



"i want to know what love is." a sad love song by foreigner.
