I'm not a native English speaker, and for most of my life before creating this channel, I didn't care about the lyrics in the music I listened to. But song lyrics have been slowly adding to the destruction of our society for decades. The fact that a bad idea sounds musically pleasing doesn't make it a good idea. Addictions, crime, promiscuity, divorces, revenge, telling lies, cursing, swearing, hating, making idols, taking lives before birth, and many other destructive behaviors have been spread and normalized for years through most of the things we consider entertaining. Be careful of the messages you let into your life. Some people need to know that there is scientific proof that God exists. Everything that you see around you, at some point was not there, right? And nothing appears by itself. It is scientifically impossible for anything to just start existing. Think about this for a moment: if there was ever a time in the past when there was absolutely nothing, wouldn’t there still be absolutely nothing? It is wise to admit that something or someone must have always existed and therefore caused the existence of everything else. That’s the meaning of eternal. The Bible says that God is eternal and He gives us eternal life when we are reconciled with Him through faith in Jesus Christ and repentance. Now, why should you believe the Bible? Here’s only one of the reasons. According to the Bible, there were about 4000 years between Adam and Jesus Christ, and there have been around 2000 years since Jesus died and rose from the dead. Why should people believe that Adam was the first human being, that Jesus rose from the dead, and just the Bible in general? Well, when you add 4000 plus 2000, that makes up for about 6000 years of human history according to the Bible. Feel free to look this up online or anywhere you prefer: no one has ever been able to prove and no one can prove that there was life on earth 7000 years ago. It’s good to know these things, but what’s really important is where you will spend eternity. Some people have been able to explain it better than I can, so I will just cite one of the clearest presentations of the gospel I have ever read, published by Living Waters in the Million Dollar Bill: THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Matthew 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemous, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there’s good news. Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds (it’s no fairytale). He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9). Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized. Visit NeedGod.com and LivingWaters.com
Dude, everything that begins to exist in our universe is made of components that already exists in the universe. But the universe itself isn't some subpart of itself, it IS itself. We only ever see how little chunks of matter...people, horses, rocks, planets, raindrops - form from atoms already there to end up as whatever things we're talking about. The universe isn't a little chunk. We've never seen a universe form. There's no reason to think the universe needs to act the same way a chunk of the universe acts. But what does all this have to do with 70's music??
60s and 70s for me. My sister decided one day to become a trucker, so I made her a bunch of CDs for her enjoyment on the road. And before you jump down my back, it's not illegal to copy music. It's illegal to copy music and sell it and it's illegal to copy music and charge people a fee to listen to it. Neither of which we were doing.
@@ItsIdaho The likes of Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, etc... ruled in the 90s. It's always a mix for every decade until the 21st century.
I was 40 years old in 1970 and I used to live in New York City in a 2 bedroom apartment with my beautiful wife that I married in ‘56 but she sadly passed away last October, I will say the 70s was my best decades of my entire life and I had a lot of fun back then! I’m now a retired 92 year old veteran and many things changed from now and then, I hope I make it to be one of the oldest individuals in the planet. Thank you!
Wow 92 i bet you have lots of stories from yr very long life, i love listening to the older generation about what they have seen in life its mesmerizing
I think the 70's is when recording technology and techniques got really good --- most of the 60's music I've heard sounds tinny with no depth on the bottom end --- so by the 80's we got that really thick "wall of sound" production
This is the music of my childhood. My dad was only 22 when I was 5, in 1970. I grew up loving his music, singing along to the car radio with him, or 33s, and listening to him play guitar and banjo. He was also an artist, but gave up art school, when I came along and he was only 17. Lost him in 2020 to Covid. I miss you so much, Dad.
So sorry for your loss Christine. Your Dad lived through some of the greatest year's of music. I hear these songs and forty year's come flying back. Merry Christmas ☃️🎄
Oh man i’m so emotional right now 🥺 I was born in 1998 but grew up listening to almost all of these songs because I was practically always with my grandparents who listened to nothing that came out after 1988. Thank you for this video ❤️
MY GOD! The Bee-Gees and ABBA dominated the late 70's. I was in my teens during that era and never realized how dominate they were. AH, the good old days!
Wow, seeing it this way makes me realize how much ABBA and the Bee Gees dominated the back half or so of the 1970s. It's also interesting how 1979 shows a clear shift happening in pop music.
The Bee Gees had the ultimate showcase for their music...."SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER"....monster hit for John Travolta....sent him into the stratosphere....who can ever erase the vision of JT in his styling shoes, leather jacket, tight pants, perfect hair strolling down the street in NY, carrying a gallon of paint and looking cool as fxxk while "Stayin' Alive" sets the beat.....classic 🎥 🎶
I dunno, I hardly think Pop Musik or My Sharona are exactly showcasing the post-punk or new wave movements to any degree. This all looks like wall-to-wall 70's stuff, really.... even the Blondie sond is there nod to disco.
I was surprised by how much Wings showed up. Have to feel it was still the legacy of beatlemania, as those tracks haven't really stood the test of time.
the 1970s was my favorite decade for music by a landslide. most of these tunes came out when I was age 7 to 17. Everything was so joyous, different, and harmonious.
To be born in the late 40s and experience the innocence of the 50s, rebelliousness of the 60s and the energy and colour of the 70s would be an indescribable luxury
Enjoy massive political and social unrest, Vietnam and the oil crisis. And this is if you're on the better place which was America, everywhere else would've been even worse😃
I’m 15 and I, obviously, didn’t grow up in the 70s… but even I say the music of the era is TIMELESS. I love this video, and let me just say most of the songs in it have made their way into my playlist🫶
I was 6 in 1970, watching all these hits is incredible, some i haven't heard since the 70's yet others seem to always be on the radio, but infinite emotions and memories are all triggered, how would you choose a favorite, virtually every one of those songs and the songwriters and singers behind them are all so differant, varied, beautiful and wonderful, maybe Daniel by Elton John triggered the saddest sentimentality, as it seems in the end we are all leaving or waving goodbye or maybe it just looks like it, or it must be the clouds in my eyes
We can imagine you were at the pool with my siblings and the neighborhood kids your age on a hot July day listening to pretty much all of these songs coming over the crappy loudspeakers off the local AM radio station. Good times.
I am from Lahore Pakistan…….in 70’s I was attending ISU(INDIANA STATE UNIVERSITY IN TERRE HAUTE,INDIANA USA…….these songs take me back in those old days.😊
It's amazing that Fleetwood Mac produced one of the greatest and best selling albums of the 20th century in 1977 with their release of Rumours. This record even won the Grammy for Album of the Year, and yet, at no time during 1977, or 78, was a song from this album the most popular in any given month.
I suspect that would have been different if the Billboard HOT 100 chart were used, but it's still a little surprising, given that they were still maybe 1/2 British and had an established reputation over there.
it's amazing to see how many times the beatles still remain on this list even when disbanding the decade before.. 0:24 The Beatles - Let It Be 1:23 George Harrison - My Sweet Lord 2:16 Paul & Linda McCartney - Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey 2:34 John Lennon - Imagine 4:30 Paul McCartney & Wings - My Love 5:04 Ringo Starr / George Harrison - Photograph 5:46 Paul McCartney & Wings - Band on the Run 6:31 Elton John - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds 8:23 - Paul McCartney & Wings - Silly Love Songs 10:14 Paul McCartney & Wings - Mull of Kintyre
AWESOME stroll down memory lane. A few I didn't know, but was not surprised how Paul McCartney, the Bee Gees, ABBA and Elton John dominated. What a decade. LOVED IT!
I think it must somehow be biased. Think about it: NOT ONE from Led Zepplin (Stairway to Heaven 1971) or Aerosmith (Dream On 1973), or Pink Floyd (the albums Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall were all released in the 1970s).
@@josorr Because this is the most popular songs not the songs that you consider to be the best, which is subjective. Also I believe this is based on what was popular in America and while Pink Floyd and Led Zepellin were household names in the UK they never had any real commercial success in the US. Prog rock is not very radio friendly, Stairway to Heaven for example didn't even chart on it's initial release.
@@krayze144 "Money" by Pink Floyd was released as a single and hit the top 20 according to Siri. DSOTM is timeless one of the best selling albums to this day. I had that album, also had Led Zeppelin's albums, Yes, Jethro Tull, Elton John, the Who, The Rolling Stones, Bowie, etc. British rock is my favorite.
@@valentins.905 Not a chance. Lol The 70's music was awesome and dynamic, but almost every superstar of the 70's was still cranking out hits in the 80's along with hundreds of new artists and an even greater explosion of diversity. The 80's is the greatest decade of music ever.
@@charlesronk2989 Diversity in the 1980s, where? Come on, the most famous ones were almost all pop songs with similar characteristics, so much so that the term "80s song" is given to certain types of songs that come out today that refer to that era, precisely because in those years there was a fixed style. In the 70s, however, there were also very different styles of pop, genres such as electronic music were born, punk really came to life, dance music was born, hip hop, a little experimental music became famous, etc... It is obvious that in the 80s there were more artists, because decade after decade they certainly cannot decrease; but to say that there was more diversity is truly ridiculous.

I was born in 72 and was 7 when the 70s ended...my age group was the last to remember disco. I do remember the Pina Colada song as the ending to the 70s. Rupert had a follow-up hit called "Him". We didn't know what the 80s were going to produce. It ended up being an explosion of creativity to rival the 70s. I'm glad I was alive for both eras.
Hearing those songs took me through long forgotten emotions I felt at the time they were hits back in High School...I had no idea they were stored in the back of my brain 🤯
I listen to all these songs on my car radio played by stations dedicated to 70s music.. and memories of highschool come flooding back every time.. our music history is like an invisible diary...
So many of these are timeless & have been rediscovered & adored by younger generations. That goes to show you the ever-lasting power of these songs & brilliance of the artists that created them.
ofcourse these songs are still played every now and then, they’re the good and evergreen ones. you can’t neglect there are tons of shitty songs from 70s too that we don’t hear nowadays because there’s no consumer. every era has its own good and bad songs. old crap of that day was also forgotten after 3 months.
@Anthony Marks I agree with you completely but the numbers here say otherwise. Robert Plant was the greatest rock singer ever but based on the ratings here Zep was not as popular with some.. I did not make the lists, I just counted the numbers.
Reading how this was compiled, it's a global list, not an American one. So bands like "Boney M" appear a lot. I was a 70s kid, and very into music, never heard of "Boney M." I just looked them up, apparently they were huge in Europe. If you were looking to relive your American youth, lol, this list is wildly inaccurate.
@@Revelwoodie: Boney M was and is huge in Europe and Asia. But their songs "Rasputin" and "Daddy Cool" have become meme songs on YT. It seems even Lady Gaga took inspiration from "Ma Baker".
This is so well done! I am a child of the 70's, doing high school and college in the same decade. Some of the chronology might be off, but who cares, you got it all. And you captured all those moments from those great years of the 70's, the greatest decade in which to grow up. :)
The greatest decade for music, The 70's. Disco, Love Songs, Soft Rock, Ballads, Punk etc. Everything. So pleased to have been a teenager then. Songs you could dance to and sing a long too.
Now this is really my era, I grew up and what better backdrop of music could I ask for than these. I got my first job after college and pit this music on my list of greats. GUESS WHAT THEY ARE STILL ON MY LIST. Just retired but still know these words with this music. Thank you to the 70’s, it was and continues to be great.
Amen to that but also the most varied. This list also had surprisingly little garbage compared to any other decade. Seems like any time between 66 to 81 would have been a good time to be young, just packed with good music of all sorts. It does make me sad to see several Boney M and no Bowie though ....
@@hanstun1 I've often commented about how that 15 year period from late 60's to early 80's was so substantial. So many great songs never reached Top Ten because there was even better stuff out there. Volumes of songs that will be played for many decades to come.
Watching this format from the 60's through the 70's, the timeline of songs helped me recall moments from my youth. It was like going back in time but in another mindset. Thank you Top Culture for putting these great compilations together. Very much appreciated.
In 1973 I was eleven years old and my father bought me my first record player. It was a little red portable one he ordered from the Sears Christmas catalog. In the gift box he enclosed my first 45" record. It was "Top of the World" by the Carpenters. He also gave me a stack of those yellow plastic inserts that you had to use on 45's to make the hole smaller to fit on the turn table. I loved that little record player. Thanks, Dad. I miss you so much.
@@zachariatekawaare4761 yeah, my band is short on 70's covers, I'm supposed to pick a 70's song we should add... omg are there any worth doing, if this is any indication?? Bleh!!
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 Haha, I swear portuguese is more difficult, we have 4 ways to say "why/because", it's horrible 😭 I love enhlish btw, I just need more time to be good at it :)
Well not exactly, The Bee Gees have more hits on this list. At the certain moment in 70s "the fever soundtrack" was the best selling album of all time.
Yes. See my above comment. The Billboard charts had Bad Girls dominating July and August 1979 and Ring My Bell was #1 for just one week in late June and early July, sandwiched in by Hot Stuff before that.
I think this video refers to the UK pop charts - not the USA. That would explain all the Boney M songs (3 of them?) that dominated whole months, yet I’ve never heard of them.
@@AllenMacCannell Well now that makes sense. I don’t remember BoneyM at all. I also don’t remember that Kate Bush song as well as a few other odd ball songs on the list, I was like huh??? 🤔
Yeah, Elton John from 1970-76 was out of this world! More quality songs that any one artist ever, never to be repeated. In those 7 years, he wrote over 50 classic A+ songs, I'd say, which still hold up. Unheard of today. Can't say it about Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber or any of that lot.

The ABBA decade for sure :) the heavy birth of the heavy genre went slightly under the radars. And the rise of disco from the second half. Great video idea just epic thank you!
@@liotommy Pretty sure Boney M never had the most popular song in the US either. (Was credited with 2 on this list). I'm assuming it's highly subjective.
@@RenegadeRockChik @Penny Starr Like I said, some of the songs were only hits in Europe. 1970s in Europe are unthinkable without Boney M. They had 8 No, 1s in Germany and spent 9 weeks at No.1 with 2 different songs in the U.K. There are though some other artists that appear in the video (Maureen McGovern, Helen Reddy, Jim Croce) whose U.S. hits, weren´t even released in Europe.
All this music from the 70s brings back a lot of good memories! There was a lot of great music created in that decade,but also lot of cheesy tunes too. Either way I'll take them all because it was a great time to be alive. I'm surprise that some songs never got mentioned like Sweet City Woman,Radar Love,Baby Come Back,More Than a Feeling,Feels Like The First Time etc.
Elton John, Abba, Bee Gees - Andy Gibb, Boney M, Paul McCartney, did quite well in the 70s. Great decade for music. Tons of huge hits. I still listen to Donna Summer I feel love regularly.
@@PanglossDr The 60s and early 70s were superior musically. Everything went downhill beginning in the mid-70s with disco, all the sappy ballads of the late 70s, and then the soulless drum machine and synth music of the 80s.
This is such a great demonstration. Such an amazing start to that decade. Drops off a little later, but there are still some individual bangers keeping it alive. Feels like it super mellows out around 1977. Thank god for the likes of Donna Summer, and also amazing to see Blondie and Michael Jackson creeping in there at the end. So much good music
This was great. I had only planned on watching a few songs but ended up watching the full 13 minutes. Thanks so much for this upload. I can’t imagine how much time this took you.
I love most of these songs and great groups/singers/vocalists but somehow obsessed with SWEET lately, listening to their songs everyday 😁. Im 59 now and these hits were part of my childhood and teenage time. All of these i can recall. Thank you for the music! 🎶🎶🎶
Bee Gees, ABBA, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Carpenters, Boney M, Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Donna Summer are the most representative artists of the 70's.
A couple of years of Abba, Bee Gees, Elton John and Rod Stewart fighting it out interrupted by the disco classics -- love it, awesome decade for music.
My teenage years is from this decade. I remember the change of music from classic rock & roll to the disco years and the beginning of the new wave generation What a time it was. Thank you.
I’m 19, but I grew up listening to this music in the car with my grandfather, so it holds a special place in my heart. This music will never cease to give me a warm feeling every time I hear it.
I try to not bias, I tell myself that 70s is the best. The lyrics, the sounds, the performances,, the looks, the melodies, and most of all- the 70s vibes; just simply perfect.
I was born in 1960 and grew up in the 70s, greatest music ever in the 50’s,60’s and 70’s!! It will never be better and I am so glad I grew up during that time!!
1976 was the year of ABBA but the success begin in 1974 with their amazing fantastic and iconic performance in the classic Eurovisión Song Contest and victory with the smash hit "Waterloo" and continues to their split in 1982 Years go by and ABBA continues to be the most resisted, questioned and underestimated group I think that the fact that they are not of British or American or Australian origin, or that they were not born in an English-speaking country, does not make them less than anyone else. On the contrary, it elevates and exalts them, due to their humility and their desire to make their music known, which is why they overcame the language barrier to compose and sing in English (towards the end of the decade they also sang in Spanish, beginning with "Chiquitita " in 1979) just as the 60s had the leadership of THE BEATLES, the 70s had the leadership of ABBA and 1976 was the year of their consolidation, with their #1 singles and their "Greatest Hits" and "Arrival" albums. and their musical work expanded in the following years with more #1 singles and their albums "The Album" and "Voulez Vous" and the movie "ABBA The Movie" and their 1977 and 1979 tours. ABBA is the first non-English speaking group to have hits in every English-speaking country on every continent and especially in England, where their success is second only to THE BEATLES their compilation album GOLD is the first in the history of the UK Charts to exceed 1,000 weeks in the Top 100, and is the second best-selling in the history of the UK. ABBA's music and songs have remained in force and are true timeless classics, they have already conquered more than three generations, anomalyed two films, a musical "Mamma Mia" was made with 20 years of success, and two "Mamma Mia" films with notable success ABBA also has a museum in Stockholm, visited by thousands of tourists (not just fans) and as if that were not enough, after almost 40 years of being separated, and at more than 70 years of age, They returned to the recording studio and released a new album "Voyage" which is currently a worldwide success, with the highest sales of vinyl albums in this new century I sincerely wonder, and I ask everyone someone did in the history of music all that ABBA did to transcend? sang in 5 languages opened a musical market for his country changed the history of Eurovision record an entire album in Spanish make movies and musicals with their songs have a themed museum got back together and recorded a new album after 40 years do a concert with their images in avatars you could not like ABBA, their style, their music, their wardrobe, whatever but you can't underestimate Them They have earned a very large place in the history of modern and contemporary music two talented composers and perfectionists: Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus two singers of excellence with different and complementary voices Agnetha Fältskog (soprano) and Anni Frid Lyngstad (mezzo-soprano) The world needs to learn how humble and grateful (as the lyrics of their comeback song) are these 'four Swedish turnips' (the humor with which Benny celebrated the record of the GOLD album in the UK) Long life and blessings to Agnetha Benny Björn A.Frida the Fabs Four from Sweden
As a child of the 70's I appreciate the strong representation of legit rock bands....which will probably never happen again. Best era for great songs in so many genres.
Its like stepping through a door that locks behind you and you never knew what it was like on the other side. These songs have always existed for younger generations.
Back then you had to wait for the debut of a song by listening to the radio's Top 40. Then you stayed up late to watch The Midnight Special to see the song being performed and then you ran to the store to buy the 45 record. On another note, back then if you were a guy and an ABBA fan you had to be quiet about it as the group was considered a 'girls' group. This was in the USA.
@@Clavinovaman not saying this performers were bad at all, all great artists, but I think towards the end of the 70s Although not seen as big, I think bands like the clash and the sec pistols were of the better performers as they produced energetic tracks and pushed there music to the top
4:04 Crocodile rock 4:23 Daniel 5:32 Bennie and the jets 6:30 Lucy and the sky with diamonds 8:34 Don't go break my heart (with Keke Dee) Me encanta que Elton John sea uno de los artistas representativos de los 70's, ¡Simplemente amo!
Yeah, and this video made a mistake for April 1975, in which "Philadelphia Freedom" was the number one song and best of the month. No one heard or even recalls "Bye Bye Love" by the Rollers, which this video rates #1. So this list is crap.
Welcome to our childhood! What a great timewarp machine. Wer are so triggered bythose sounds, voices and melodies...amazing! It takes a fraction of a second to remember feelings, impressions, smellings, touches, etc. Just Wow!
I was born in the 50s and was in high school during woodstock. I was drafted in Jan of 70 but the music followed me for eight years on three continents. The sixtys was a warmup for music of the 70s. American music played everywhere in every country and the 70s sound was popular in all of them. The 70s was the best of the best.
I was born in the late 70's but i can still remember growing up listening to every last 1 of these songs because my mom & uncles would just play them over & over again..this was surely their era lol
The great thing about living in 2023 is that we can enjoy all these songs any time we feel like. These are true gifts from our past. This is truly a golden age that we're living in, if we can take the time to appreciate it.
40 to 50 years later and a lot of these songs are still in the zeitgeist in some way or another. I do wonder if the music of the last few years will still be around.
@IHWY_Mango Absolutely, one of the very best, Night Fever, Jive talking, Stayin' Alive, How can you mend a broken heart? , so many others. Do some very enjoyable, perfectly harmonized listening. ❤️Billy Joel, one of the greatest storytellers. The Beatles , in any form. Some of the best and most perfectly written and performed music, ever. A world to explore.
I'm not a native English speaker, and for most of my life before creating this channel, I didn't care about the lyrics in the music I listened to. But song lyrics have been slowly adding to the destruction of our society for decades. The fact that a bad idea sounds musically pleasing doesn't make it a good idea. Addictions, crime, promiscuity, divorces, revenge, telling lies, cursing, swearing, hating, making idols, taking lives before birth, and many other destructive behaviors have been spread and normalized for years through most of the things we consider entertaining. Be careful of the messages you let into your life.
Some people need to know that there is scientific proof that God exists. Everything that you see around you, at some point was not there, right? And nothing appears by itself. It is scientifically impossible for anything to just start existing. Think about this for a moment: if there was ever a time in the past when there was absolutely nothing, wouldn’t there still be absolutely nothing? It is wise to admit that something or someone must have always existed and therefore caused the existence of everything else. That’s the meaning of eternal. The Bible says that God is eternal and He gives us eternal life when we are reconciled with Him through faith in Jesus Christ and repentance. Now, why should you believe the Bible?
Here’s only one of the reasons. According to the Bible, there were about 4000 years between Adam and Jesus Christ, and there have been around 2000 years since Jesus died and rose from the dead. Why should people believe that Adam was the first human being, that Jesus rose from the dead, and just the Bible in general? Well, when you add 4000 plus 2000, that makes up for about 6000 years of human history according to the Bible. Feel free to look this up online or anywhere you prefer: no one has ever been able to prove and no one can prove that there was life on earth 7000 years ago.
It’s good to know these things, but what’s really important is where you will spend eternity. Some people have been able to explain it better than I can, so I will just cite one of the clearest presentations of the gospel I have ever read, published by Living Waters in the Million Dollar Bill:
THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Matthew 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemous, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there’s good news. Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds (it’s no fairytale). He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9). Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized. Visit NeedGod.com and LivingWaters.com
Wow. That must have felt like a good fart.
Dude, everything that begins to exist in our universe is made of components that already exists in the universe. But the universe itself isn't some subpart of itself, it IS itself. We only ever see how little chunks of matter...people, horses, rocks, planets, raindrops - form from atoms already there to end up as whatever things we're talking about. The universe isn't a little chunk. We've never seen a universe form. There's no reason to think the universe needs to act the same way a chunk of the universe acts. But what does all this have to do with 70's music??
become orthodox ☦️☦️☦️
I call the 60's, 70's and 80's music's golden generation. They have some of the greatest that we have today
For me the 80s is the last great era for music, everything (or mostly) of the 90s is already too technical less aimed at true vocals.
60s and 70s for me. My sister decided one day to become a trucker, so I made her a bunch of CDs for her enjoyment on the road.
And before you jump down my back, it's not illegal to copy music. It's illegal to copy music and sell it and it's illegal to copy music and charge people a fee to listen to it. Neither of which we were doing.
@@ItsIdaho The likes of Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, etc... ruled in the 90s. It's always a mix for every decade until the 21st century.

I was 40 years old in 1970 and I used to live in New York City in a 2 bedroom apartment with my beautiful wife that I married in ‘56 but she sadly passed away last October, I will say the 70s was my best decades of my entire life and I had a lot of fun back then! I’m now a retired 92 year old veteran and many things changed from now and then, I hope I make it to be one of the oldest individuals in the planet. Thank you!
Wow 92 i bet you have lots of stories from yr very long life, i love listening to the older generation about what they have seen in life its mesmerizing
God bless you!
veteran of Korea?
Wow at 92, I’m sure you have a lot of great stories to tell
Stories of the 1960s and 1970s in NYC are always fun to hear
The way these songs are produced, and the equipment they used really give this era an iconic and unmistakable sound.
all analogue and tube amps no digital
You know in these videos they’re all lip syncing and all the instruments are not there, right?
Agreed 👏
@@Mavericku799 Yes, that's how every music video gets made. I'm referring to the quality and style of the studio recordings that back the videos.
I think the 70's is when recording technology and techniques got really good --- most of the 60's music I've heard sounds tinny with no depth on the bottom end --- so by the 80's we got that really thick "wall of sound" production
This is the music of my childhood. My dad was only 22 when I was 5, in 1970. I grew up loving his music, singing along to the car radio with him, or 33s, and listening to him play guitar and banjo. He was also an artist, but gave up art school, when I came along and he was only 17. Lost him in 2020 to Covid. I miss you so much, Dad.
So sorry for your loss Christine. Your Dad lived through some of the greatest year's of music. I hear these songs and forty year's come flying back. Merry Christmas ☃️🎄

The 70's was de Golden Decade of Music.
Rock, pop, soul, disco, instrumentals, jazz, salsa, etc...!
What a decade....!
MY GOD! The Bee-Gees and ABBA dominated the late 70's. I was in my teens during that era and never realized how dominate they were. AH, the good old days!
I was about -30 years old in the late 70s lol
The bad old days you mean. Except for a couple of ABBA songs.
@@NickZedd1 no the good old days is correct
Yes Abba had 7 selections on this list, but if you think that is domination the Beatles had 22 between 1964 and 1969.
Obviously the bee gees dominated it! THEY are the best of all time
Wow, seeing it this way makes me realize how much ABBA and the Bee Gees dominated the back half or so of the 1970s. It's also interesting how 1979 shows a clear shift happening in pop music.
The Bee Gees had the ultimate showcase for their music...."SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER"....monster hit for John Travolta....sent him into the stratosphere....who can ever erase the vision of JT in his styling shoes, leather jacket, tight pants, perfect hair strolling down the street in NY, carrying a gallon of paint and looking cool as fxxk while "Stayin' Alive" sets the beat.....classic 🎥 🎶
I dunno, I hardly think Pop Musik or My Sharona are exactly showcasing the post-punk or new wave movements to any degree. This all looks like wall-to-wall 70's stuff, really.... even the Blondie sond is there nod to disco.
I was surprised by how much Wings showed up. Have to feel it was still the legacy of beatlemania, as those tracks haven't really stood the test of time.
And elton john?
Paul McCartney also had lots of songs in the 70s
the 1970s was my favorite decade for music by a landslide. most of these tunes came out when I was age 7 to 17. Everything was so joyous, different, and harmonious.
To be born in the late 40s and experience the innocence of the 50s, rebelliousness of the 60s and the energy and colour of the 70s would be an indescribable luxury
That sounds amazing.'70s alone would do it for me... Best decade

I’m 15 and I, obviously, didn’t grow up in the 70s… but even I say the music of the era is TIMELESS. I love this video, and let me just say most of the songs in it have made their way into my playlist🫶
9:55 September 1977 inicia el EDM
The NRG & Synthpop Sound of Giorgio⚡Moroder father of EDM since 1977.
These were mostly AM radio hits. FM hits hits were better.
Same
I was 6 in 1970, watching all these hits is incredible, some i haven't heard since the 70's yet others seem to always be on the radio, but infinite emotions and memories are all triggered, how would you choose a favorite, virtually every one of those songs and the songwriters and singers behind them are all so differant, varied, beautiful and wonderful, maybe Daniel by Elton John triggered the saddest sentimentality, as it seems in the end we are all leaving or waving goodbye or maybe it just looks like it, or it must be the clouds in my eyes
We can imagine you were at the pool with my siblings and the neighborhood kids your age on a hot July day listening to pretty much all of these songs coming over the crappy loudspeakers off the local AM radio station. Good times.
4 hits for ABBA in 1976 alone.
and great hits 1976 was his year
They were a hit machine

Wonder where is Elton John today?
@@amirsajid3681Elton retired from touring. But he and Bernie have a new album coming out.
It's amazing that Fleetwood Mac produced one of the greatest and best selling albums of the 20th century in 1977 with their release of Rumours. This record even won the Grammy for Album of the Year, and yet, at no time during 1977, or 78, was a song from this album the most popular in any given month.
I suspect that would have been different if the Billboard HOT 100 chart were used, but it's still a little surprising, given that they were still maybe 1/2 British and had an established reputation over there.
Every song on Rumours was a classic mega hit. The entire album was a gem.
Exactly my thought. And The Eagles also had the best selling album of the 20th century but only one mention?
This count down is so Bogus! 👎🏽👎🏼👎🏻
Same goes for Pink Floyd!
it's amazing to see how many times the beatles still remain on this list even when disbanding the decade before..

ABBA and Bee Gees had the most songs but, but look how many was just one hit wonders that was on the list.
I think it must somehow be biased. Think about it: NOT ONE from Led Zepplin (Stairway to Heaven 1971) or Aerosmith (Dream On 1973), or Pink Floyd (the albums Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall were all released in the 1970s).
@@josorr Because this is the most popular songs not the songs that you consider to be the best, which is subjective. Also I believe this is based on what was popular in America and while Pink Floyd and Led Zepellin were household names in the UK they never had any real commercial success in the US. Prog rock is not very radio friendly, Stairway to Heaven for example didn't even chart on it's initial release.
@@krayze144 "Money" by Pink Floyd was released as a single and hit the top 20 according to Siri. DSOTM is timeless one of the best selling albums to this day.

@@valentins.905 Not a chance. Lol The 70's music was awesome and dynamic, but almost every superstar of the 70's was still cranking out hits in the 80's along with hundreds of new artists and an even greater explosion of diversity. The 80's is the greatest decade of music ever.
@@charlesronk2989 Diversity in the 1980s, where? Come on, the most famous ones were almost all pop songs with similar characteristics, so much so that the term "80s song" is given to certain types of songs that come out today that refer to that era, precisely because in those years there was a fixed style. In the 70s, however, there were also very different styles of pop, genres such as electronic music were born, punk really came to life, dance music was born, hip hop, a little experimental music became famous, etc... It is obvious that in the 80s there were more artists, because decade after decade they certainly cannot decrease; but to say that there was more diversity is truly ridiculous.

Thank you so much

Man u deserve a medal 🏅
Thank you so much!!! 🌟🌟🌟
Surprised not to see one Linda Ronstadt song. She rocked the 70's.
I was 15 when the 70s began and 25 when they ended, so you can imagine how much I loved this music.
That is the same way I feel about the 80's ---- started the decade off at age 9 and ended when I was 19
I was 14 and it brings the memory of school disco and club- disco.
In 70s I also loved Demis Roussos songs. They were hit in Europe's dancing floors.
I WAS BORN IN 54 AND REMEMBER ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL SONGS! I MISS THOSE DAYS! SO I DOWNLOADED A TON OF OLDIES! GOD BLESS, BRO🙏🙋
@@rosemarymullan5566 Born in '54 myself so I relate!
I was born in 72 and was 7 when the 70s ended...my age group was the last to remember disco. I do remember the Pina Colada song as the ending to the 70s. Rupert had a follow-up hit called "Him". We didn't know what the 80s were going to produce. It ended up being an explosion of creativity to rival the 70s. I'm glad I was alive for both eras.
Hearing those songs took me through long forgotten emotions I felt at the time they were hits back in High School...I had no idea they were stored in the back of my brain 🤯
I listen to all these songs on my car radio played by stations dedicated to 70s music.. and memories of highschool come flooding back every time.. our music history is like an invisible diary...
So many of these are timeless & have been rediscovered & adored by younger generations.
That goes to show you the ever-lasting power of these songs & brilliance of the artists that created them.
80% of these songs are still played everyday on the radio stations around the world, whereas the modern crap of today is forgotten after 3 months.
That's what the music companies want nowadays. Disposable music.
So true. Nowadays music is trash.
@@criticalhard I know... right...?!
as they should.............................
ofcourse these songs are still played every now and then, they’re the good and evergreen ones.
you can’t neglect there are tons of shitty songs from 70s too that we don’t hear nowadays because there’s no consumer. every era has its own good and bad songs. old crap of that day was also forgotten after 3 months.
Just listened to the 60s and 70s collections - The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elvis, Abba and The Bee Gees dominated two decades. Great memories.
Great memories for sure. But, there was so much sap. Ya either were a rocker or a sapper. Couldn't be both.
@@rigelmoon9030 Tell that to Paul McCartney!
@@Jim_Thomas_Draper Who?
@Anthony Marks I agree with you completely but the numbers here say otherwise. Robert Plant was the greatest rock singer ever but based on the ratings here Zep was not as popular with some.. I did not make the lists, I just counted the numbers.
Where are The Beach Boys?
Man this music brings back so many memories it's hard not to shed a tear or two...the 70s is when music got good
Stevie Wonder and David Bowie aren’t on here but are definitely kings of the 70s
Jackson 5 too.
also marvin gaye
Reading how this was compiled, it's a global list, not an American one. So bands like "Boney M" appear a lot. I was a 70s kid, and very into music, never heard of "Boney M." I just looked them up, apparently they were huge in Europe. If you were looking to relive your American youth, lol, this list is wildly inaccurate.
@@Revelwoodie: Boney M was and is huge in Europe and Asia. But their songs "Rasputin" and "Daddy Cool" have become meme songs on YT. It seems even Lady Gaga took inspiration from "Ma Baker".
Neil Young too.
This is so well done! I am a child of the 70's, doing high school and college in the same decade. Some of the chronology might be off, but who cares, you got it all. And you captured all those moments from those great years of the 70's, the greatest decade in which to grow up. :)
The greatest decade for music, The 70's. Disco, Love Songs, Soft Rock, Ballads, Punk etc. Everything. So pleased to have been a teenager then. Songs you could dance to and sing a long too.
Now this is really my era, I grew up and what better backdrop of music could I ask for than these. I got my first job after college and pit this music on my list of greats. GUESS WHAT THEY ARE STILL ON MY LIST. Just retired but still know these words with this music. Thank you to the 70’s, it was and continues to be great.
The 70s is my all-time favorite decade when it comes to music. Once again the start of the decade sounded like the previous decade.
Amen to that but also the most varied. This list also had surprisingly little garbage compared to any other decade. Seems like any time between 66 to 81 would have been a good time to be young, just packed with good music of all sorts. It does make me sad to see several Boney M and no Bowie though ....
the convoy song? 🤣
@@hanstun1 I've often commented about how that 15 year period from late 60's to early 80's was so substantial. So many great songs never reached Top Ten because there was even better stuff out there. Volumes of songs that will be played for many decades to come.
I completely agree. My favorite music too. Loved most all of it, didn't matter if it was pop, rock, soul or disco, it was all so good.
Naaaahhh. The start of the 70s sounded like maybe the last two years of the 60s. 68-70.
Watching this format from the 60's through the 70's, the timeline of songs helped me recall moments from my youth. It was like going back in time but in another mindset.
Thank you Top Culture for putting these great compilations together. Very much appreciated.
Every single song has a special meaning to this 70yr young great grandmother
I had exactly the same experience
So True!

I was a child then.
I am an 80's fan.But watching more 70's specials i do admire the music that was played when i was a young boy.Thank you so much!
What an honour to listen to these songs. Lived each and every one of them. Memories of such a fabulous and free decade. Miss this way of life.

Guys
I was born in 94, I listen to all sorts of genres and eras but there's just something truly magical about music recorded in the 70s ❤
Same here✌🏼💯🙌🏼
Agree 👍 it's my favourite decade. The music was special.
Best decade for it's wide variety of great songs!
Born in 06,the music is truly magical!
True, the 70s and 80s were full of great music and I was born in 1990.
In 1973 I was eleven years old and my father bought me my first record player. It was a little red portable one he ordered from the Sears Christmas catalog. In the gift box he enclosed my first 45" record. It was "Top of the World" by the Carpenters. He also gave me a stack of those yellow plastic inserts that you had to use on 45's to make the hole smaller to fit on the turn table. I loved that little record player. Thanks, Dad. I miss you so much.

It's quite possible you lived then, died and returned.
Over 90 great songs in this video. Super! 👍👍
Lots of great memories here but definitely missing is Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” and Donna Summer’s “Bad Girls”. Those songs were HUGE!😍
Yes. See my above comment. The Billboard charts had Bad Girls dominating July and August 1979 and Ring My Bell was #1 for just one week in late June and early July, sandwiched in by Hot Stuff before that.
@@AllenMacCannell Yep. Ring my bell was popular but Bad Girls was #1 for a month and was Donna’s biggest hit I believe.
I think this video refers to the UK pop charts - not the USA. That would explain all the Boney M songs (3 of them?) that dominated whole months, yet I’ve never heard of them.
@@bribook69 and that would explain "Yes sir, I can Boogie" which was a European hit but wasn't known in the US
@@AllenMacCannell Well now that makes sense. I don’t remember BoneyM at all. I also don’t remember that Kate Bush song as well as a few other odd ball songs on the list, I was like huh??? 🤔
Um let's just say that the music of the 70's STILL rules today in 2022 and beyond....❤
Yeah, Elton John from 1970-76 was out of this world! More quality songs that any one artist ever, never to be repeated. In those 7 years, he wrote over 50 classic A+ songs, I'd say, which still hold up. Unheard of today. Can't say it about Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber or any of that lot.

That’s great to hear! Nostalgia is a fickle feeling
An epic decade musically. I must admit, though, there were some songs I had never heard before.
Me too!!!
It´s because some of these songs were only hits in the U.S., while some others only in Europe.
@@liotommy Pretty sure Boney M never had the most popular song in the US either. (Was credited with 2 on this list). I'm assuming it's highly subjective.
@@RenegadeRockChik @Penny Starr Like I said, some of the songs were only hits in Europe. 1970s in Europe are unthinkable without Boney M. They had 8 No, 1s in Germany and spent 9 weeks at No.1 with 2 different songs in the U.K. There are though some other artists that appear in the video (Maureen McGovern, Helen Reddy, Jim Croce) whose U.S. hits, weren´t even released in Europe.
@@liotommy Fair enough. Americans do tend to be America-centric.
All this music from the 70s brings back a lot of good memories! There was a lot of great music created in that decade,but also lot of cheesy tunes too. Either way I'll take them all because it was a great time to be alive. I'm surprise that some songs never got mentioned like Sweet City Woman,Radar Love,Baby Come Back,More Than a Feeling,Feels Like The First Time etc.
Or Smoke On The Water or All Right Now and the re-release of it.
The 70's for me was the best of times.
And don’t forget With 0r Without You by U2
Elton John, Abba, Bee Gees - Andy Gibb, Boney M, Paul McCartney, did quite well in the 70s. Great decade for music. Tons of huge hits. I still listen to Donna Summer I feel love regularly.
Your missing Carpenters there. Their songs are also on this video.
DONNA SUMMER - i feel LOVE is a ALL TIME CLASSIC, love it !
Music in the 70's seemed to have some much more melody and emotion.

@@PanglossDr The 60s and early 70s were superior musically. Everything went downhill beginning in the mid-70s with disco, all the sappy ballads of the late 70s, and then the soulless drum machine and synth music of the 80s.

Abba & Bee Gees dominating the later years
Being an infant then I didn't realize disco was essentially confined to the last 3 years. Too bad I think it should have lived on.
The music of the 1970s was quite sentimental and touching. I think it was the best decade of music.

I was born in 1960 - these songs pinpoint the key landmarks through my teenage years.
Incredible songs that you were raised with. I am 16 and listen to certain artists from these years. My favorite is Oh Girl, by the chi lites
Also was born in 1960 in USSR. Agree.!
This is such a great demonstration. Such an amazing start to that decade. Drops off a little later, but there are still some individual bangers keeping it alive. Feels like it super mellows out around 1977. Thank god for the likes of Donna Summer, and also amazing to see Blondie and Michael Jackson creeping in there at the end. So much good music

I agree, completely❤
Nice production with the quick pace. Sure love the music from the 1970's. Now my addiction is buying Stereo equipment from 1976-1979.
1976 was the year of ABBA
but the success begin in 1974
with their amazing fantastic and iconic performance in the classic Eurovisión Song Contest and victory with the smash hit "Waterloo"
and continues to their split in 1982
Years go by and ABBA continues to be the most resisted, questioned and underestimated group
I think that the fact that they are not of British or American or Australian origin, or that they were not born in an English-speaking country, does not make them less than anyone else.
On the contrary, it elevates and exalts them, due to their humility and their desire to make their music known, which is why they overcame the language barrier to compose and sing in English (towards the end of the decade they also sang in Spanish, beginning with "Chiquitita " in 1979)
just as the 60s had the leadership of THE BEATLES, the 70s had the leadership of ABBA
and 1976 was the year of their consolidation, with their #1 singles and their "Greatest Hits" and "Arrival" albums.
and their musical work expanded in the following years with more #1 singles and their albums "The Album" and "Voulez Vous" and the movie "ABBA The Movie" and their 1977 and 1979 tours.
ABBA is the first non-English speaking group to have hits in every English-speaking country on every continent
and especially in England, where their success is second only to THE BEATLES
their compilation album GOLD is the first in the history of the UK Charts to exceed 1,000 weeks in the Top 100, and is the second best-selling in the history of the UK.
ABBA's music and songs have remained in force and are true timeless classics, they have already conquered more than three generations, anomalyed two films, a musical "Mamma Mia" was made with 20 years of success, and two "Mamma Mia" films with notable success
ABBA also has a museum in Stockholm, visited by thousands of tourists (not just fans)
and as if that were not enough, after almost 40 years of being separated, and at more than 70 years of age, They returned to the recording studio and released a new album "Voyage" which is currently a worldwide success, with the highest sales of vinyl albums in this new century
I sincerely wonder, and I ask everyone
someone did in the history of music all that ABBA did to transcend?
sang in 5 languages
opened a musical market for his country
changed the history of Eurovision
record an entire album in Spanish
make movies and musicals with their songs
have a themed museum
got back together and recorded a new album after 40 years
do a concert with their images in avatars
you could not like ABBA, their style, their music, their wardrobe, whatever
but you can't underestimate Them
They have earned a very large place in the history of modern and contemporary music
two talented composers and perfectionists:
Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus
two singers of excellence with different and complementary voices
Agnetha Fältskog (soprano) and
Anni Frid Lyngstad (mezzo-soprano)
The world needs to learn how humble and grateful (as the lyrics of their comeback song) are these 'four Swedish turnips' (the humor with which Benny celebrated the record of the GOLD album in the UK)
Long life and blessings to
Agnetha Benny Björn A.Frida
the Fabs Four from Sweden
I like their Spanish tracks.
fantastically written ! i agree wholeheartedly.
In a way they set the bar. Thanks for your write up.
Oh man, that is a nice treatise on ABBA!
As a fan of Napoleon, I hated "Waterloo."
Amazing collection and tapestry your hard work and energy has produced, thank you! What an era of such diverse music and change!
What a whirlwind of amazing talent. Possibly the best decade for music
Hardly.
As a child of the 70's I appreciate the strong representation of legit rock bands....which will probably never happen again. Best era for great songs in so many genres.
For me, as an early 2000s kid, it's hard to believe that those iconic songs were "new" sometimes which means people grew up without knowing them.
Its like stepping through a door that locks behind you and you never knew what it was like on the other side. These songs have always existed for younger generations.
Back then you had to wait for the debut of a song by listening to the radio's Top 40. Then you stayed up late to watch The Midnight Special to see the song being performed and then you ran to the store to buy the 45 record. On another note, back then if you were a guy and an ABBA fan you had to be quiet about it as the group was considered a 'girls' group. This was in the USA.
I became a top 40 radio announcer in 1974. Played most of these songs over and over and...
That must've been an awesome job!
Any particular ear worms that made you regret your job? 🙂
I had a handheld AM radio duct-taped to my skull, listening to the songs you played. Thanks!
Elton John, ABBA, The Bee Gees, the greatest performers of the 1970’s.
@Perusals
You are correct, 1979 was the first time I heard from her hit “Heart of Glass”.
Beg to differ but your opinion
@@beangibson4676 Well, let’s have your ideas on who we’re the best…
You forgot the Queen
@@Clavinovaman not saying this performers were bad at all, all great artists, but I think towards the end of the 70s Although not seen as big, I think bands like the clash and the sec pistols were of the better performers as they produced energetic tracks and pushed there music to the top
The 80s had some of the greatest music of all time. I would genuinely love to have all these on vinyls.
Thanks for putting this list together.
This is the 70s
4:04 Crocodile rock
4:23 Daniel
5:32 Bennie and the jets
6:30 Lucy and the sky with diamonds
8:34 Don't go break my heart (with Keke Dee)
Me encanta que Elton John sea uno de los artistas representativos de los 70's, ¡Simplemente amo!
Y q dicen de Boney M q grupazo q tuvo varios exitos
Lucy in the sky with diamonds was made by the beatles
Yeah, and this video made a mistake for April 1975, in which "Philadelphia Freedom" was the number one song and best of the month. No one heard or even recalls "Bye Bye Love" by the Rollers, which this video rates #1. So this list is crap.
Por supuesto que si
😍😍
Welcome to our childhood! What a great timewarp machine. Wer are so triggered bythose sounds, voices and melodies...amazing! It takes a fraction of a second to remember feelings, impressions, smellings, touches, etc. Just Wow!
Boomers are weird, but I'll admit as a Gen Z child, I really enjoy 70s music.
Excelente, muy buen material, me trajiste muchos lindos recuerdos con estas canciones que hoy en día están siendo mas valoradas.
I was born in the 50s and was in high school during woodstock. I was drafted in Jan of 70 but the music followed me for eight years on three continents. The sixtys was a warmup for music of the 70s. American music played everywhere in every country and the 70s sound was popular in all of them. The 70s was the best of the best.
I think I've heard 95% of the songs in this list and I'm not even old lol.
Thats becuase all of this are clássics
Me too hahahha. Still on my 20’s haah
Watamelon
@@evanyoder7061 remember, Watame did nothing wrong.
Same!
I was born in the late 70's but i can still remember growing up listening to every last 1 of these songs because my mom & uncles would just play them over & over again..this was surely their era lol
Rest in peace to these artist who laid to rest. Your music will live on forever. 💓
Here Here Old Bean!
R.I.P ✝️.
The great thing about living in 2023 is that we can enjoy all these songs any time we feel like. These are true gifts from our past. This is truly a golden age that we're living in, if we can take the time to appreciate it.
40 to 50 years later and a lot of these songs are still in the zeitgeist in some way or another. I do wonder if the music of the last few years will still be around.
Paul Mccartney, Abba, Elton John, Queen
Bee gees?
@IHWY_Mango Absolutely, one of the very best, Night Fever, Jive talking, Stayin' Alive, How can you mend a broken heart? , so many others. Do some very enjoyable, perfectly harmonized listening. ❤️Billy Joel, one of the greatest storytellers. The Beatles , in any form. Some of the best and most perfectly written and performed music, ever. A world to explore.
Imagine having these bangers coming out month after month growing up.
LOL, and these aren't even the 'bangers'. No Ramones, Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Grand Funk, etc.
It was nice!
Yeah ikr you can also see how music significantly changed in the 70s
And going to discotheques because there was nothing interesting on TV, and the best way to impress a girl was onnthe dance floor or skating rink
Radio Luxembourg playing their hot shot on the hour
