@some random Guy, can you make a Video about the "New German Wave"?
Many Great Tunes. Hard to point out the best ones. But it was, undoubtly the year of Abba, on Arrival Album
Trivia: Disco Lady was the very first single to go Platinum
I saw that in the description that Love Machine by The Miracles is confusing me with the 2004 mega hit by Girls Aloud from their album What Will The Neighbours Say?
I turned 13 in March 1976 and I am grateful that I lived through to he best decade of music. Music made back then is still being played on the radio 54 years later. I doubt very much that Ed Sheeran Sugar Babes and groups today will still have their music played on the radio in 2074. The 1970s I believe we're the VERY BEST decade for music TV etc etc. I do wish we could go back to those Carefree days where everybody was friendlier there was no stress and no PC brigade around.
Bicentennial baby here.. there are so many songs on this list that timestamp my life.. I didn't know they all were released my birth year. What an honor to be born among such classics.
Graduated high school in 76. What an amazing year and time. Great music and relative peace in the world. It was a different time - a great time.
So did I. It was an amazing year.
Bicentennial head. That time was special
@@berylcrutch2730 Most definitely- very special.
We all graduated from different high schools together. 😊
@@bend.morris4955 Yes. That’s a great way to put it. The classes of ‘75 and ‘77 just didn’t have the identity that we all have and share. I attended my 45th HS reunion last summer and we talked about the magic of ‘76. It wasn’t shoved down our throats that we were the bicentennial class. It was just a very nice thing to experience. So…….well said by you.
I absolutely love the 70’s, all the different genres of music, something for everyone. Being a teen back then, great times.
Yes. We may be old but we were around for all the really great bands and music.
@@mariemcadams8408 Yep! I’d rather be the age I am now and have experienced the best music ever than be young today.
i too me like and 70,and 80, 60 too but i didnt listen
i mean 60
Timeless, timeless songs! Better than the music 🎵 of today. Great!!!!
Not at all. In fact, this 1976 list has more a ton of garbage on it than surrounding years. Back then, people's taste must have been in their mouths because so many of these songs are plain awful. "David Dundas - Jeans on" What is this even?
All of these songs were out the year I was born. What a great omen😊
Unbelievable year - 1976. I graduated from HS that year. It was the Bicentennial and things were pretty tranquil worldwide. Vietnam was mostly in the rearview mirror. It was just a tremendous time. Music was outstanding. Good movies and good television shows abounded. Memories.
My senior year in high school! What a great year.
I was seven years old in 1976. I often laugh about the fact that I used to sing “Afternoon Delight,” “Love to love you baby” and “More, More, More” while riding my bike around the neighborhood. Thank you for bringing back great memories.
I was 10 .. I remember all this good stuff but I remember my friends brother had Rush 2112 and I listened to it.. changed my life. From that moment foreword Rush has been the soundtrack of my life
ABBA and Queen ❤️
1976 was the year when ABBA leads all over the world (except U.S.)
three singles and one album #1 in UK
and much more in several countries of all contunents
They were pretty popular in the US too!
@@guylewis7418 not high popular like in Europe , Australia and rest of the world
ABBA made more money than Volvo did in the 70s.
As a teenager I used to listen to these songs when we would listen to them on record players ,radios and 8 track tapes & cassettes ! Great music !😂
There seems to have been much more diversity in music back then, than today.
Not really...people are dismissive of different or alt music today. It's there....
There was more diversity then. The hottest station where I lived played all popular music whether it was The Carpenters or Led Zeppelin.
No matter what year/decade it is, there will always be great music, timeless classics, one hit wonders and absolutely disasters.
Agreed
Couldn’t of said it better! The people who say “all modern music is trash i like this and that is better”
Like it’s fine if you don’t like most modern or even a specific genre of music but it doesn’t mean it’s all horrible!!
i dont know, i havent listened to modern music since 2005, what I have heard of modern music feels autotuned, and repetitive and overall sterile and pretentious
not like the 60s, 70s and 80s where it felt genuine and ALIVE, from the heart and full of honesty
That is very true. And the point is that many people have different music tastes and other styles that we should learn to appreciate.
While many people like Barbarella might argue that modern music isn’t feeling up to quality, that part is genuinely not entirely true. The problem for certain artists is that if the music feels lifeless, then it’s either them or the companies wanting to make money or just gain popularity. However, they still make music to make people feel alive no matter what genre or what style of song it is. Autotune is always something people treat as only a bad thing even though many talented singers use it as the cherry on top as well. The only issue is when singers and producers use it in a way that it puts unconventional standards on how the singer is supposed to sing it to the point where it doesn’t feel as genuine, or worse when artists who have literally no talent (Jake Paul and surprisingly even Bhad Bhabie) use it as a way to mask their true talents and abilities. Otherwise I have no problem.
But in general, music in popular culture has evolved so much that there are a great amount of music we can learn to appreciate as there are newer genres, styles, and opportunities for many singers, producers, groups, and others into music to be able to do what they love. Around 2005, I don’t generally think music was only lifeless, it probably is just your general opinion depending on your tastes but sometimes there are many artists that love to do it for the love of it, rather than only aim to impress. So while I see Barbarella’s point, I would only say that that is their issue they are dealing with and there is still great music out there.
Sorry, but rap and crap have a lot in common.
Today's music sucks.
It seems like when you play music in the 60s and 70s, a flood of memories come back.
As a kid who grew up in the 70s it was fun to see the groups playing live, while I only have memories of hearing them on the radio.
I was 13 and in the early times of high school.when these songs came out. Many hours listening while studying and dancing at school dances with this fantastic variety of music instilling itself into my soul. Thank God the songs survived through my college days and rest of my life too. We are blessed with listening to so much good music and classic lyrics.
Born in 76! Best year ever
Making my top 70’s playlist and this is helping beautifully
I graduated from high school in 76 and half these songs I never heard of. And there is quite a few I did not hear that we all listen too.
What a great year! I was 9 then 😁
I turned a 8 year old back then, born May 23rd 1968, from northern Ireland UK ♥️🇬🇧🤝
Wonderful taste! I get excited in every song even if I don’t know it!
Real music Real sound Real soul 💯% takes me back in time when everything was safe and enjoyable miss these days forsure will definitely always hold them as true memories 💃🕺🍷🎊😎
I loved the 70s songs and this era was the best...especially 75,76and 77...
The 60s through the 70s were the best of times 👍❤
I was born in 1970. So these are really the first songs I can remember. My aunt had a pub in our small village and we had the opportunity to play on the jukebox for free. This was a great time for us kids. Thanks again for these memories SRG!
I feel bad for anyone who were born in the 1970s... They missed out on brilliant music of the 70s. Thank you for this video!
Anyone born in the 50s-60s can understand this and will get why the 70s were great
I was born in March of 1973
But it's progression
@@hotrod9199 meaning you missed out
@@michaelcrawford5083 no l did not miss out on anything at all because grew up with Elvis Presley the Beatles the beach boys Michael Jackson Prince Tina Turner
@@hotrod9199 You weren't alive is pretty simple.
Ugh! Can someone please transport me back to 1976?! I hate living in 2024. : (
I was 17 that year. In love for the first time. Love the music still
When Donna summer came on my heart skipped a beat..riep ds
Probably the happiest sounding year.. Red hot, feel good too..
1976 was #ABBA year:
6:08 Mamma Mía
2:59 Fernando
1:47 Dancing Queen
6:27 Money money money
all four #1 in Europe
This collection of songs brings vivid listening memories as a 12 year old who wanted to be radio dj or announcer. I had my FM microphone from Radio Shack and played these songs from my cassette tape collection in my homemade radio station. It's just like yesterday. And many of these songs have an enduring legacy as we hear tag lines and as bumper music for commercials and radio and tv programs to this day.
This was my 16th yr on this earth, Golden memories.
The 70’s were the best.........thank you, so many great memories and great songs right there!
80s were best decade ever in music by a very very wide margin
1976. Wonderful music year in the best music decade.
This was a great year for music.
Phenomenal job!:) Two thumbs up!🎶💫✌️🧡😁
I remember being a kid in the 70.s and watching Solid Gold on TV.
Great memories.
Thanks some random guy.
Thanks for the memories. ❤️ one of the best years for music.
I was 13, definitely the best music of my life, great playlist, thanks for sharing, ciao from Italy!
A hell of a year for great music. Remember them all!
Thanks again for taking me back the days of college!!!!
Worst problem we had was figuring out which bar to go to that nite...lol
Truly, Lovely Memories for me - Thanks!!!
😎😎😎
The year of great music
One of the most various musical year of 70s : disco, rock, pop, ballads. "Dancing queen" is my favorite of this year. Thanks random ;)
Yet 80s was a better decade and had more diverse music
These songs brought back my high school years.
This was nice! Beegees, Kiss, Boney M and ABBA was my favorites! PS! ABBA is in a studio doing ned music again! Exiting😃
'76 was the year i turned 10, with the talent back then it's no wonder i love music
I was 11 12 when these songs were hitson the radio ..what a great time to be a kid in those days.
We had the best music to grow up to. I consider myself lucky!
En fait, c'était une super période de transition entre les années 70 et les années 80, toutes les 2 riches musicalement parlant.............
The best year !!!!!
Definitely had a great era it’s a shame new bands don’t take notice to how real music should sound like
I left school in this year (UK) and had a long break until October starting College - that gorgeous long, hot Summer.
With all this DIVERSE music too - it was bliss!
Has anyone invented a time machine yet to go back to that wonderful time?
Best year of my life!
Member of the Bicentennial class, '76 Rock's, literally!!!!
Beautifull super video👍👍👍👍
One of the best years for music imo
You hit the spot right there for me sir - many memories flowed, good and bad. From being a physical and mental wreck now, you brought me back to when I was most happiest.
I’m 64 now and 76 has been one of the best years by far for me. Great music and great times. 🙏🏻
I was 12 years old during the Bicentennial Year of 1976. It was a wonderful and exciting time. I had my whole life ahead of me. Now I have cherished memories of the years behind me. Peace ☮️ and blessings to you all. 🌷
I was 14 and in love. 💌
These songs will always be the hits
Thanks For Sharing!
Great selection of songs.👍
2 words: GREAT memories!
Never heard lots of these....but 70s great...thanks. Went down starting in 80's....to yuck today.

This was the year that left school to head off to the big word and listen to this great music on the radio at work.
I'm as white as a sheet of paper, I watched Soul Train every week and I loved it! Your vids are getting better and better Random:) You chucked in some ABBA too, that never hurts;) You rock my friend!!!! Thank you.
White too and absolutely loved Soul Train!!
Why wouldn't he chuck in some ABBA? , they were one of the biggest bands of the 70's.
Good music knows no color

Decade: the 80s; years: 1979, 1981-1987, 1991-1994 (difficult to choose just one)
1971
1976 - 1979, 1982 - 1983
84-86 for me
The 1970’s from beginning to end. Perfection!
Thank you for this new list (or new version) Random Guy. Always love your lists.
Always great to see Australian artists make your lists as so few people recognise us.

Started high school in the fall of '76,!
Thanks a lot for the update! If you could do more updates because there are more great songs in those years thanks a lot for your work!
Dream Weaver.........amazing music.
Absolutely brilliant music 1976
Essas canções bem antigas que parecem ser super atuais...
You are one of the few people who puts musical lists together that make sense.
Suddenly I'm not 67 ...and then I am... :/
QUEEN was 75 in the UK TOP channel born in 67 Love Music.
I was 12 in 1976 and I remember most of these songs. The 200th birthday of the United States! Disco was annoying but there was other music that I still listen to and it will never be out of style.
