Fell off, bumped our heads and started to produced such dreary repetitive tripe as a result.....but, to be honest, among all the current musical mess, there are still some true classics there. God bless.
I’m not a big fan of the music today. The lyrics don’t seem to have much depth, and the melodies don’t really grab me. I still think there’s a lot of potential for better music out there.
I was born in 1963, so remember the tail end of the 60s, but it was the 70s when I really became a huge music fan. The whole decade was great for music, but my High School years is when the music started to really mean something, everything from Paul Davis I go crazy, to Billy Joel's just the way you are, it was a great decade for music. I loved everything from Marvin Gaye's Inner City Blues to Paul Simon's Late in the Evening. In one decade (the 70s) we had everything from Folk, soft rock, hard rock, R&B, Funk to Disco. You had a little bit of everything from KISS dressing up in face paint, to Parlimant Funkadelic coming out of the Mothership Connection Spaceship. It was a great era for music across different genres.
I was in Middle School at that time. We had something called pod which my husband didn't have. He was two years ahead of me in a different school district. Pod was the grade divided in half then that half was divided into 5 classes. When we were in pod, we were all in one room divided by movable walls. The other half of the day we were out of pod going to home ec, shop, art class, gym, music, etc. The other half of the grade would be in pod.
Me too! We didn't have cell phones, video games, computers, Internet, etc. We actually talked to each other. Now everyone has their face in their phones. It's like a bunch of robots walking around.
What you don’t think rap tells the story of urban youth ? Hey I don’t either. If someone would have brought that into my office. I would have thrown everything out of the window. Now you can’t get away from it. I found a two oldies station on SXM one country and one 60’s and. I still scan the dial once in awhile.
I was 15 years old. A sophomore in high school. I love every one of these songs. What a great time to be a teenager, developing my appreciation for music!
Olivia Newton-John should be on this list. I think she was always underrated. Pitch perfect, feminine, and an interpretative artists who could sing the phone book.
@@donnahilton471 yes I loved all of them. Someone earlier asked a comment why there were so many BEE GEES songs in this 1978 countdown so I just told them they dominated this year…but you’re right…they were great in the 60’s-2000’s!🤣. 👍🏾
Nineteen hundred and seventy eight....wow I was 15 years young! I remember dancing 💃 to all these songs. Not a care in world. My best friend and I would always dance together because the guys always stood by the wall. They were embarrassed, I guess. So beautiful back in those days.🎉😂
I was flying home to my Dad’s funeral. I never heard Baker Street until the airplane rides going home from Europe. I fell in love with the riff by Rafael Ravenscroft. The song was about going home to me.
I was driving from Phoenix, AZ to Monterey, CA to my first duty station at Ft Ord. Going up highway 1 dodging rain storms. Late at night, listening to Baker Street and Home and Dry. Everytime I hear those songs it takes me back to those days and that trip.
Donna’s “MacArthur Park” was in the top 10 songs of 1978. It Hit number 1 on the pop charts 👑 Donna spent a total of 11 weeks in the #1 spot throughout the 70s , more than any other female artist of that decade. Surely the “Queen of 70’s pop”!
I used to play Baker street and the songs by Bee gees and shadow dancing on my pirate FM radio station in my early teens. First time i saw on this video Gerry Raferty.
The original (broadcated) Billboard had her at #3 in 78, although it was released in 77. Two reasons why: the billboard year ran from Dec1st to Dec 1st, so that they were able to air it on, or near NY's Day. Secondly, the song hit #1 in mid October and ruled the chart well into November and December. So they were only able to count the chart time past Dec 1st. The songs were calculated on a point system. But this Billboard, broadcasted here, actually (only) went by the 1978 yr. This system here surely makes her #1 (for) 77, not #3 for 78.
Way too hard to pick one song from 78. There were so many of my all time favorites. Staying Alive, Kiss You All Over, Baby Come Back, Grease, Baker Street, Two Out of Three Ain't Bad, Imaginary Lover, Come Sail Away, Running On Empty, Whenever I Call You Friend, Flashlight, and anything by ELO.
The ones that 46 years later i still love to hear regularly are Baker Street and Baby Come Back and then Hot Blooded. The first two are just magical tunes. Nicolette Larson's Gotta Lotta Love is also worthy to be on the list.
All of those are great choices! And those first 2….I agree….are exceptional. Baby Come Back is just so smooth and classy with a whole lot of soul. Baker Street is awesome. And Foreigner made some amazing songs. Lotta Love is such a soothing, feel-good song.
Great year of music and I was 13 years old living in Queens New York and my parents were young and alive. Oh, how I wish I could go back to that time in place. Andy Gibb was my favourite. I loved him so! A little known fact that years later when he had already been gone for sometime the Bee Gees always brought the stool that Andy Gibb would sit on to all their concerts. He was always in their minds and hearts. ❤️❤️❤️
My favorite song from 1978 is Peaches and Herb singing "Shake Your Groove Thing!" A song makes you want to get up on floor and start dancing for sure period and that's that!
@@TWChia-zn6dh I was right that Shake Your Groove Thing came out in December 1978. I just Googled the answer myself! Reunited did came out in 1979 though!
Foreigner hot blooded was the only song anyone I knew listened to or thought was any good out that whole list. I turned 18 in 78. Aerosmith, lynyrd skynyrd, outlaws, to name a few were the good ones.
I was Class of 78. It was the beginning of the disco contagion that caused musical brain damage. Sultans of Swing came out that year, and so did Chris Rea's "Fool If You Think It's Over." Both of those still hold up as great songs today. Jimmy Buffet's "Cheeseburger In Paradise" was more fun than all the songs in this video.
Baker street Best favorite in this round I was working at ocean Pacific in a Drilling rig across Baja California shots and i listened from California Radio . Thanks 👍
I started collecting 45's in 1977 age 12 but in 1978 I was earning a few dollars more working on the weekends with my dad so I was able to buy a few records every week. It was fun collecting while it lasted. I miss those days, going to the record store buying some new 45's but music went downhill in 1990 when the Top 100 singles were not all available on vinyl.
I was 18 and the disco era was alive & well here in Australia. Night Fever a favourite. My girlfriends & I out dancing every weekend...and sometimes mid week 😊 Was all about the music...great times
I agree with everyones comments. Most importantly is that the spirit and memory of the 80s is alive and not forgotten. The 80s were the bwst times of my life. Keep the 80s alive !!!!!!!
On an unfrgetable day August 12 ,1978 Three Times a Lady was number 1 on the local radio station in Vancouver BC followed by Everlasting Love by Andy Gibb (my favorite Andy Gibb song).
Great hits in 1978. Another artist that was very popular at the time was, of course, Donna Summer and her hit MacArthur Park was number 1 for three weeks in November of that year. Thank you for posting, makes me reminisce those good times.
"I Just Wanna Stop" by Gino Vannelli in 1978 was a well-crafted ballad with a distinctive late 70's even early 80's feel, a big hit in both Canada and the US, and could be included in the list
Let me know whats your favorite 1978 songs is? Also shoutout to class of 78! 😄
Kiss you all over by Exile!
"Saturday" by Norma Jean Wright
Copacabana by Barry Manilow.
Best of your love by the Eagles (or was that 1977?)
Africa by Toto
The Gibb Family ruled many times but They sure ruled 1978

Not really

60's & 70's music was the Best! Who's with me?
My era for music was the late sixties and the 1970s. (Ages 13-24)
60s better than 70s
80’s for the WIN!
70's & 80's

Another beautiful 1978 song is Reminiscing with Little River Band group.
I agree😊.
Long way there was their best. Glen Frey from the Eagles rated LRB as the best vocal Rock band of the 70's. Big compliment.
LRB was gold.
One of the smoothest songs ever. I never get tired of hearing it, and it always deserves a knob crank when it comes on the radio.
My favorite song of the entire 70s!
The best music was the 60s, 70s, and early 80s.
That is where we get Yahct Rock
Kids today don't know what they missed...
@@sarge6870 They sure don't!
Love the voice of Karen Carpenter and also of Anne Murray ❤.
I was in High School from ‘77-‘80. What a great time ! Anyone else remember Roller-Disco?👍👍

We created "roller disco!" Bounce, Rock, Roll, Skate.❤❤
Same here 77-80.
Zana due!
Me too.
The Gibb brothers are a world wide treasure!!!❤
My guys!
The Bee Gees owned the year, singing, writing and backup vocals.
The GIBBS owned the year.
@@terrancethomas9792 remember Samantha Sang singing "Emotion"?
Life was fun back then and I miss it...

Baker Street is perfection!
still love baker street great music
😂🤦♂️🤡
as is Right Down the Line.
Night owl is a cracking song
Love the groove of “Get It Right Next Time”
Who feels like the world was sane in 1978.
Yeah I was 13. The 70s were bad ass
Carter was president - 78 was a rough year
It sure felt sane back then. Not anything like the crazy we have now, that's for sure.
Yeah, got married then. Didn’t last.
Which world? There was a revolution happening in Iran. The American hostage crisis happened and many other things. You were lucky if shielded 😅
Growing up in the 1970s was amazing, probably my favorite decade!
ME TOO
Baby Come Back is an incredible song. Still listen to it today. I was 10 in 1978. 😊
It really is a fabulous song. The vocals are a cut above.
I was 16. Sooo long ago...😢
I was 17 . Man does those songs bring back memories. It really was a great year.
I have this album. On vinyl. ❤
So do I! I was 11. 👋
70s is my favorite decade of music.
Same here.
I love disco, it’s so fun to dance to. Remember “the bump”?
I always did The Bump with my older sister, who taught it to me. It worried and annoyed our mom so much❤
And the Hustle!! 😂 I was a disco queen, amazing times. 💃🕺
Yes indeed and Busstop
Too many GREAT SONGS to choose from. The whole 70’s decade was THE BEST ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
It's 9:15 Wednesday Oct.2024 I'm sick with the flu and this music is just what I needed. Luv it all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember every single lyrics to all these songs! Makes me happy and kinda sad at the same time. Life sure moves fast!
You should have concentrated on remembering your school work instead.
I don't remember the first one they put up on the video, which was number 10. I definitely remember the rest and loved them all.
@jennysmith38 Neither do I. And this is remarkable. It calls into question the origin of this list.
1978....a great year for music 🎶 🌟
Some of the best music ever came from the 70's.
Sorry, from the 60s...😃
RIP Andy, Maurice and Robin Gibb! ❤ The music from the 60s through the 80s was the best.
I LOVE their LAST big hit from 1989...ONE.
Top 10. Bee Gees were in 5 of them at the top.
Emotion ❤HSmemories
Dance disco fever and shadow dancing ❤❤❤
You are right the music was so much better back then.
Class of 78!!! Favorite song was Kiss You All Over.
That was a great time for music.
R.I.P. Robin, Maurice and Andy
I'm 71 and that was one of the greatest years of music. I loved those songs then and still love them today. ❤ Most music today really sucks.😡

I can’t believe they don’t have Donna Summer on the list…She was the Disco 🪩 Queen ❤
She was all clapped out well before 78.
Her big hits came in 79 starting with Last Dance from Thank God it's Friday. Then came Bad Girls...Hot Stuff.
She only had one hit: I Feel Love

Emotion by Samantha sang is pretty and it’s written by the bee gees! Love it❤

Im 60. Thanks for that. Im going to go lay down and cry myself to sleep now. ❤
Oh ..why?
The Bee Gees ruled 1978 in some way or another
Debbie Boone's "You Light Up My Life" was a huge hit. Spent 10 weeks at #1 on Billboard Top 100.
The original (broadcated) Billboard had her at #3 in 78, although it was released in 77.

Ok. I just watched 77 and YLUML is not there. Something's wrong here Billboard. Something's fishy. Oh well.

The 70s through the 80s was my childhood. What a time.
I feel that the song if I can’t have you by Yvonne, Ellen should be on this list. It came out in 1978 and it is a classic!
Exile and "Kiss You All Over" was the biggest hit for me back in 1978. The 70's were amazing years for me. 😊
Mighty fine! Class of 79!

It wasn’t the 70s that was a decade of good music. It was The Bee Gees.
The Carpenters, Anne Murray and Olivia Newton-John too.
That's when music was MUSIC
I love BeeGees & Player! They have some R&B in them!
A friend recently saw Foreigner in concert and said they still sound really good. 👍
Stand out 1978 tracks for me are Steely Dan’s “Peg”, Little River Band’s “Reminiscing” and Billy Joel’s “Just the Way You Are”.
Agree 60s and 70s the best music years
I fell for the BeeGees in 1966. Great sound! Pure vocals.
