[@lucken13]

70s n 80s are the best decades for music! Was in High School 77 to 81, then joined the Army for a 20 yr career!!!!

[@americanpatriot2422]

England Dan and john Ford Coley, always put on a professional show. Yes I spent many an hour seeing concerts from the best decade of music, the seventies. If I Had a dollar for every dude, that sang, more than a feeling for me, I'd be rich.

[@mikefisher2673]

Quite a few of these tracks I used in my school reunion focused on the late 70s from fall of 77 to June of 80.

[@constipatedinsincity4424]

Lonely Boy is in my top 10 favorite songs. Even more so since 1st meeting him in the 80's and jamming with him in the 90's and 2000's

[@geraldtalbot6400]

Lonely boy was the first song I heard play on the radio when I turned 14. It instantly resonated with me as did Gerry Rafferty, Supertramps give a little bit and breakfast in America. So many banging songs from the 1970s and some many people don't know like Jack in the box by the moments

[@genxskeptic5816]

About half of these are already in my playlist. Now the rest of them are as well. 👍

[@Topgunphoto]

Same here, huge 70's fan and that's the majority of my playlist. Just can't beat the music back then.

[@FayDougall]

Give A Little Bit , Renegade , Stuck In The Middle With You , Foreplay / Long Time .I wasn't even 12 when Boston came out and More Than A Feeling is still one of my favorites from that era

[@eskenazibeth]

Foreplay/Long Time is my favorite song on Boston’s debut album, it’s absolutely amazing 💯%😎

[@sheryljohnson5906]

Know and love most every one !! ❤

[@dohorner]

Another great list! Thanks so much !!

[@donaldkelly3983]

Come and Get Your Love by Redbone!

[@livinginnorthernaz]

Great list! I love “Lonely Boy”, didn’t think anyone remembered it. “Drivers Seat” another favorite. Might add “Sing for the Day”, which might have been on the flip side of Styx’s Renegade.

[@irocker350]

Driver's seat Last month I had been going nuts trying to remember this old song and had no clue who sang it and could remember just a tiny fragment of the lyrics, and then, tonight, by pure chance I click on this video and BOOOOM!!! there it is, that great old song. this is the kind of content that will make me like and subscribe

[@toddb5760]

There are just too many 1970s songs that are absolute gems. Having said that, I would add Peter Frampton’s live version of “Do You Feel Like I Do” as at least honorable mention.

[@gaylegoodman9097]

Styx had several wonderful songs. My 1st husband introduced me to them with their song “Sweet Madame Blue”. Their album “Paradise Theater” was pure gold!

[@jeffrobertson527]

Street Life and The Crusaders have always been favorites

[@TessaCoker]

American. Not heard of many because I am English and was living in Switzerland most of thee 70s

[@jolaynemichaud4377]

It wasn't Gerry Rafferty singing "stuck in the middle with you".

[@birdie9680]

I've always loved that Andrew Gold song. I sang in a cover band for a while in the early 80's, and we did a lot of Linda Ronstadt songs. I've always wondered if this song wasn't a bit of a dig at Linda over the fact that he never had the success that she had, so he was resigned to being her arranger and a player in her band for many years.

[@sierradanecapps8216]

The song Renegade by Styx has been revived and is well known to anyone who has watched the series, "Supernatural". Love these songs.

[@shakerman55]

I saw Ace perform “How Long” in 1974. I just learned how to play it last week. Now I’m mad I didn’t learn it 50 years ago!😂

[@martinjb55]

How long was revived in 1981 by the Disco group Lipps Inc. As a follow up to 1979s Funky Town. It reached number 4 in the US dance charts. Neither version is heard much on UK radio. The ACE version was a lovely change from the Glam Rock and pop of 1974.❤️

[@richardmcginnis5344]

there's a reason these songs got left in the sleeve, they were so popular halfway through the 80s they got over played and people stopped requesting them radio stations stopped playing them

[@scblackbird]

no disrespect but we/i i guess just want to hear the songs we know how hot , catchy thought prevoking they were, wich is diff for every person but thnx for the reminder the memories they bring back let you relive the feeling all over again and that is why music is ........... music!

[@KristineHrabina]

We had such good music in those days! ❤😊

[@brightangel133]

Missed: Anything by David Cassidy (yes the man who was better looking than most men with more than 20 albums to his name, #1 hit in the world in 1970 the first song he sang professionally and had 2 Broadway hits and 3 years top draw in Vegas in the 90s, have some respect for the guy! He sang about suicide when he was 24 and paired his writing with very famous people). Then there is Leo Sayer, Harry Nilsson, The Doobie Bros, The Allman Bros, Grand Funk Railroad, The James Gang, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pure Prairie League, Four Tops, Al green, Curtis Mayfield, Dianna Ross, The Spinners, The O’Jays, Eric Carmen, The Eagles, Chicago FFS…anything by Stevie Wonder and ABBA, ELP, ELO, Deep Purple, Focus, Blondie, Jim Croce, Carly Simon, Jackson Brown…. Were you born after 2000? SMH

[@theonlymoo5e]

I'd have to include Cliff Richard. He just got a raw deal in the USA from Ed Sullivan when he refused to sing an old pub song rather than his current hit.

[@skinovtheperineum1208]

Don't forget Amon Duul; 'Wie Der Wind Am Ende Einer Strasse'

[@WoodGuy]

My roommate got this Boston album when it just hit the stores. His mother worked in the music department in what used to be May's Department Store and she would let her son know about the new popular stuff they got. We made a deal, I would pay half the price of the albums he decided to buy (on his mothers recommendation) if I was able to record the first play on my reel to reel recorder. Of course as soon as I got done recording Boston's first album I was hooked. Between the two of us, even as broke kids, we were able to snag a lot more music splitting the price. Sometimes he'd get an album I didn't think I wanted, he'd play the record and I'd feel rather dumb for not springing for half, that was the case with the Dave Mason album. I didn't know who Dave Mason was, hadn't heard anything he did so I didn't end up with the first play. Many times, like with Dave Mason, I'd end up buying the factory reel to reel tape because I liked it that much.

[@officialmusic-zn3le]

You check a top 40 or even a top 100 from the 70s on each year and dude! Super jewels!! Not to mention the rabbit holes that open from then on, you wont have any time for nowadays crap and think about if besides the 70s you do that same on the 60s and/or 80s...

[@TheDreamtimezzz]

Knew all 12, have most of the albums. Some more to track down. 😊

[@boltonsullivan9683]

Somebody tell me love.Isn't the answer and then they won't know

[@dadoctah7978]

I can never hear Supertramp's "Give a Little Bit" without thinking of its use in the 1978 Superman movie, because someone editing that picture clipped out a full measure of the music between shots. Apparently they weren't familiar with the song or were just painfully tone deaf because it's a jarring glitch, like a record skipping a groove. It's odd to me that the music was already on the pictures soundtrack before they were editing it.

[@janedowe8403]

I agree with the entire list...except for Styx.🙄 The rest of the songs are truly classic and well-written songs.

[@j1st633]

You needed to play the music longer.

The song MAGIC by Pilot is also used in the Ozempic commercial has changed. I, the people from Ozempic and millions of other remember OH, OH, OH it's magic. However it has changed to HO, HO, HO it's magic. In the Ozempic commercial it is O, O, O Ozempic. Thanks again Mandela Effect for messing up another song.

Forgetting Roger Miller, The Supremes and SuperTramp is stunning.

[@juliefiesler2603]

Great list but there are continuity issues with the visuals. Many of the songs show the artists playing guitar both left handed and right handed. Being a lefty guitarist, it's something I look for constantly. Trust me, no one plays guitar both left handed and right handed. If that were the case then everyone would only play right handed. Just sayin'. The "Street Life" song I'd long forgotten about but a great choice! Plus, I didn't even know the B-52s song. Keep up the great work!!

[@skinovtheperineum1208]

1. 'Give A Little Bit' - Supertramp lost a lot of us when they sang the devil is my saviour. 2. 'Lonely Boy' - not awesome 3. 'Right Down The Line' - great song 4. 'Driver's Seat' - poor man's 'Wicked Game' (Chris Isaac) 5. 'Street Life' - not awesome, not even some 6. 'Love Is The Answer' - blah 7. 'How Long' - great song 8. 'Renegade' - garbage, Lorenzo Lamas is spinning in his grave; 'Blue Collar' by BTO tops 'Blue Collar Man' 9. 'Magic' - thanks, I'll go to Olivia Newton-John for my Magic. Fittingly, yours now sells a weight loss drug 10. 'Foreplay/Long Time' - absolutely slaps the salami 11. 'Dance This Mess Around' - can't say anything bad about the B-52's 12. 'Stuck In The Middle With You' - thanks for wasting 20 minutes of my life.
