Top 10 Songs of 1972: The Greatest Hits Of The Year

[@jchow5966]

“Popular” music was amazing back then. So glad I grew up with this wonderful music!!!! Music of today is not thid good.

[@dutchieblue1238]

I haven,t forgotten any of these songs!!

[@tsf5-productions]

Another great year, for me: 1972! Bunch of these tunes picked in this episode, I have in classic forms of 45s, LPs, and, cassettes. Almost all of these tunes bring to me constant memories of the gal I dated in '72 - J.E.L. She was fabulous! Some of these "selected choices" from our narrator were, to me, on my large list of my 1973 favorites. My "All-time Favorite" of 1972: "Rocket Man" by Elton John (MCA Records) though there are a few other not mentioned hit tunes that are among my favorites of that year due to that "gal I left behind"... (actually, she left me, behind) - J.E.L.

[@jchow5966]

Love it!!!!!!

[@cathyskywalker77]

It's "The First Time EVER I Saw Your Face" not "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face". Just saying 😊

1972 is a special year for me, being my high school graduation year, and I do remember these hits well.

[@darylturner2321]

1972. And there I was… in VietNam. I grew up then. That’s where I became a man. I’ll remember that year forever.

[@davidsoule1252]

Thank you for your service. I am also a Vietnam Veteran, U.S. Navy aboard USS Joseph Strauss DDG-16 during deployments in 1970 and 1972. Transferred to USS John S. McCain DDG-36 for the last 3 months of McCain's 1972 deployment. To you and I and a million other Vietnam Veterans, these are some of the songs we listened to in Vietnam.

[@edwardtraylor3984]

You forgot about " Me, You, And A Dog Named Boo" by Lobo. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I was 10 years old when these songs were released. Good times and good music without a doubt.

[@alexcerdan4500]

Oh yeah, I did love that song.

[@EmmyPierz-ek7hi]

Smoke on the water didn't make it? One of the most identifiable heavy metal songs of all time? Did I miss it?

[@michaelharned8741]

I remember this song from 1973

[@darylturner2321]

YES!!!!

[@wendymcdermott6586]

Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey in the Jar" with fabulous solo guitar 🎸

[@ianferguson3840]

You missed a few really good ones, including "Alone Again (Naturally)" by Gilbert O'Sullivan, "American Pie" by Don McLean and "Without You" by Harry Nilsson.

[@GuadalupeSuarez-h2c]

Alone Again Naturally/Gilbert O'Sullivan.

[@sandihooyman4977]

Absolutely!

[@SallyJohnson-rk8ic]

Nah, I hated that song. It's simply too sad.

[@Cyclone74]

Neil Diamond's song Song Sung Blue is a take on Mozart's Concerto 21

[@huckleberry3868]

Great comments, thanks.

[@wintonhudelson2252]

"Burning Love" required a Doctor's attention back in the day 😅

[@andrewwalton9700]

Frowned on in this country but i still like Rock & Roll parts one & two Garry Glitter !

[@donnahilton471]

I was showing WarrenBeatty's FIL where an item was, and "You're So Vain" came on. He didn't even aknowledge it.

[@waynekvetkosky2572]

My favs from '72 are Walk on the Wild Side and The City of New Orleans which are number one in my heart but maybe not billboard toppers.

[@trudieristich795]

I remember watching some movies. I think it was Beach blanket Bingo. And the Rat pack. He was super young and playing the piano and everybody called him little Stevie.And that's what I was used to little stevie wonder

My number #1 for me in my life was: Forever was made for us but for us it went by to fast - Beverly Bremers! about my high school sweetheart!

[@geec5636]

What about Looking Glass "Brandy"?

[@SallyJohnson-rk8ic]

Thank God Stevie recorded Superstition! That is probably my favorite song of all time.

[@rogerdonoho4924]

My cherie amour is his best IMO.

[@SallyJohnson-rk8ic]

@@rogerdonoho4924 My Cherie Amour is definitely a great song, but Superstition brings the funk!

I was looking forward to listening to the music, ..... not some guy babel on for 10 minutes

[@jhunter1045]

Emerson, Lake & Palmer were a progressive band not known for his. In fact, they were a one hit wonder. The song From The Beginning from the Trilogy album which was released in ... 1972!!!

[@juliebroun1342]

Makes me wonder if an AI robot is narrating this: Get it right-- "The First Time EVER I Saw Your Face", not the other way around !! You should know your material inside out and back to front 😳

[@mq5276]

And he said Glen Fray instead of Frey.

[@robertp9297]

I think it was a ROBOT/Chat_Bot. I still prefer a human voice, with real human pauses and inflections.

[@juliebroun1342]

So disappointing that whoever makes these videos for entertainment doesn't believe in the art of humanity 😔 AI is not mandatory -- we should desert these platforms and look for real people with credible information, not rambling twaddle

[@MarvinHatch-h3g]

I don’t know if it’s AI. I would think that AI would have read the script literally and not transposed the words, ever I, and I ever. But I agree with real human voice instead of computer generated “intelligence”. Reject the artificial!

Linda Ronstandt and Olivia Newton-John are missing.

[@fionam3554]

too early - Olivia didn't break the top 20 until 1973, Linda until 1974. I love them both, but this is 1972

[@davehutchison6663]

At least the 70’s weren’t subjected to click-like-button-begging.

[@richardwood-c1b]

You 're So Vain is about a guy who thinks a song is about him when it's not.

[@wmden1]

I didn't notice any resemblance, at the time, of Horse With no Name to Heart of Gold. Listening to them close together, there are a couple of vocal and instrumental similarities, but I think the vocal part is coincidental, similar voices, and there are always some instrumental similarities. Besides, America had many hits that sounded nothing like Neal Young's or anybody else's music.

[@wendymcdermott6586]

"The first time" written by Ewan McColl (stage name) and father of Kirsty McColl singer and member of The Pogues. Apparently Ewan wasn't a fan of Roberta's version.

A lot of the same songs from 1973

[@RickyBernardo]

I recall fondly 1972's music. And this review too often lands as inauthentic-because the narration does not know or pronounce correctly at least one song lyric, one song title, and one artist's name each. Tough to follow with such foundational errors.

[@gidget9101]

It was the year i got married. How sad gidget

[@JamesWeekley-o9x]

Please! Stop saying, "The first time I ever saw your face"! The name of the song was " The first time ever I saw your face"!

I graduated from high school in 72 and if given 10,000 song choices, I may have chosen 2 of these songs....but probably not.
