Too think to be cut by the light
Of long and white polar nights"
GC

yankeefan I guess I would have lots of favorites. But my big favorite, my favorite of favorites, the grand wah zoo and exalted grand poohbah of 70's tunes would be Loudon Wainwright the 3rds Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road. Couldn't be a better driving song ever.
doc south Here's one that works as a good driving song on the radio, kind of a silly song, but also a song about the way life works .. I was a newlywed, married less than a year, when it came out, so I could relate to the message and lyrics.
Dr. Hook -- When you're in love with a beautiful woman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gutSCU4-3Q

So not as favorites, but a couple I really like that I've been listening to recently:

My favorite station in Baltimore back in the 70s used to say ...
"680 WCBM, where the good songs have gone." Now they just talk about politics all day ... yuck.
Now Hackettstown Life is where the good songs have gone. YEAH
Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas; Roundabout - Yes; More Than A Feeling - Boston,
just to name a few.
The Eagles---Desperado
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=kCdjvTTnzDU
SueR This song brings tears to my eyes its by KANSAS
"Carry On Wayward Son"
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Ah
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming,
I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man,
Well, it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune,
But I hear the voices say
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more no!
Carry on,
You will always remember
Carry on,
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry,
Don't you cry no more,
No more!
Caged Animal The City of New Orleans -- Arlo Guthrie
Not only a great song, but it talks about America's tradition of mass transportation and laments the fact it is diminishing now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvMS_ykiLiQ

seeshark Aerosmith - Train Kept a Rollin' - 1974
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EvGn22Mplg
patricia And Jim Croce's music is still relevant in today's movies .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtnMy2aSOWQ
Train Kept a Rollin' is a cool song to me because of it's history. Tiny Bradshaw wrote and recorded Train Kept a Rollin in the 1951 in a Jump/Swing blues style
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiScL3wIUwI
Johnny Burnette recorded it as a Rock-a-Billy song a few years later.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufzRV3xspYA
Then in the 1960s Jeff Beck made it a rock tune with the Yardbirds which is the version Aerosmith copied.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFbW9T8qZPA
DEVO - Gut Feeling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwx_Qq56YTA
Sometimes I think people don't realize how punk and badas# DEVO really was in 1977.
What a great build up.
If I had to pick one favorite Jim Croce song, this would be it ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN1nMpmC0n4
This list wouldn't be complete without a few tracks off of Joe's Garage (1979) by the great Frank Zappa...
Catholic Girls

Why Does it Hurt When I Pee?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiu6DFXeF9A
wahoo .... seashark is ecletic for sure........Cliff Richards......wow, didn't think anyone listened to that. Probably the only easy listening I like. And you mean Fake Genesis, right, heh heh. You know, Genesis without the edge. I was surprised you didn't hit Steve Forbert slidding in in 79 with Jackrabbit Slim.... Not only Steve is a favorite, but can see him still in a lot of local venues. Good show but a bit of a stage priss.
Devo for sure and yes they were naughty boys
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzPZTYqSCwM
They put out a CD in 2010 that is really good. so like Devo I too will break the rules of decorum and post a song from 2010
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ62Mmu2dws
Smoke gets in your eyes -- Blue Haze
Yes, it's a re-make of the Platters' classic old tune.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TZ6xrPMwK0
I like "Wait" by Forbert. And I like all Genesis, actually like the late-70s period the best. But to each their own...
Few others:
This Year's Girl - Elvis Costello
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lamyY_8iwE
Honaloochie Boogie - Mott the Hoople
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYMcjA7_fY0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BKPoHgKcqag
(Followed by "Why Does it Hurt When I Pee?")
I didn't know this is a 1970s song!!!
Fish Heads --by-- Barnes & Barnes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTpUVAcvWfU
CBGB - The late 70's and first 1980's are Dr Demento's hey day after he stared around 1970. Most of his most popular songs are 70's - Making Love In A Suburu, Fish Heads, Rover, Dead Puppies, just about anything Frank Zappa ever did. He filled with a few 50's and 60's items like Tom Lehrer. And he got a new lease on life with Weird Al.

Mr. G, first timer here and really enjoying it. I'm on season 2 out of 5. Awhile back I had added it to my list of shows to watch on Netflix, but never got around to it. Once "The Slap" aired, I've read many comments on just how good "Parenthood" is and how it was replaced by this crap. LoL So I thought it was time to give it a try and I'm glad I did. Love the different personality types within the family and not to mention that Dax fellow is such a cutie. ;)

Even the Steve Miller Band had the blues in the 70s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmPDs_ne9cc
Elton sang "I guess that's why they call it the blues," but that was an 80s song.
The first time I heard this one was at Memorial Stadium, Baltimore, Opening Day of the 1973 season ... it came on about an hour before game time while the players were taking batting practice ... Paul Blair made a behind-the-back catch in center and then danced a little bit while this was playing ... I'll never forget it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_ksYL26lZE
JoeBee The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is a 60's song even if the Joan Baez eventually made it on the charts in the early 70's.
The Amboy Dukes were all 60's including when that song was released CBGB. Sorry, but wrong thread.

gc is right as rain again; the band wrote 'the night they drove ole' dixie down'; released on their second album, which was self titled 'the band'
Robbie Robertson gets song writing credits but it was Levon Helm (who actually grew up in the south) who gave Robbie the ideas and historical corrections in the lyrics:
it was released in 1969, but joan baez's version was a top ten hit in the 70"s (from memory i think it was summer of 72') and i think it was her biggest hit, i never liked her version, the band does it so much better.
The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - YouTube
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jREUrbGGrgM
Artist: The Band
Album: The Band
Released: 1969
you guys were having a good time throwing blues songs back and forth, so here's another one.
this band hails from the 'frisco bay area, the scene at the time was known as 'east bay grease', this band traded personnel back and forth with tower of power, big brother and the holding company, and santana and were compatriots with janis joplin.
andy, horns and blues and with a lyric like this "i feel so bad, feel like a ball game on a rainy day" is taylor made for you

1973's Cold Blood's rendition of "feel so bad" from their thriller LP, this is one of my favorite 70's songs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ge9YDW-7qw
That was some real good jamming, instrumentally it has that Blood, Sweat and Tears kinda sound.
Would you believe I've never heard that before? .... Most of my radio listening was on those top 40 stations in those days, in my car going to ballgames here, there, and everywhere.. before the advent of 24/7 sports talk radio (which I can only take in small doses anyway).
I remember something my girlfriend (now wife of 36 years) said about me at a party, "miles mean nothing to him."
We should introduce that gal to this guy ... he'd treat her right.
I first heard this on WIBG-99 AM Philadelphia, while driving through Jackson Twp. on a wintry morning... it's amazing how I can remember where I was the first time I heard songs that I like ...
For My Lady -- The Moody Blues

My favorite YES song.
I've Seen All Good People
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJM7TdshUbw
yes, andy, i would believe it, Cold Blood was one of those groups who just missed hitting it really, really big.
that jazz rock fusion sound with a funky 70's beat is real good stuff. i just can't get enough of it.
thanks for listening, that number sonically builds to a dramatic climax, gotta love the screaming trumpets and saxophones, and Lydia Pense sings with genuine emotion in the janis joplin style, some have said she's better, i won't go that far, but i do like her a lot.
cbgb - i actually have heard of clover, thanks for the link, we all know and love the iconic big fm hits of the 70s, (steely dan, eagles etc.) but it's real nice getting exposure to some of the other lesser know names of the decade.
keep em' coming
I do listen to the stuff other people post ... it's really interesting to see and hear the songs that get put on here ... a mix of music you'll never hear on any radio station anywhere.
The Russ Long theme song...
Long Way Home by Supertramp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwaRvALFRcQ
When I hear Roundabout or Long Distance Runaround I am returned to my days at the pinball arcade and those songs cranking from the jukebox.
My favorite Yes album is Tormato , it doesn't get much love , even from Yes fans. Steve Howe doesn't get much mention when talking of guitar greats either but he is.

I've played this for the students in my mass media and speech classes ... it was on the charts in 1971, the poem was written well before that ... and the message still applies in today's world the way it did way back then.... technologies may change but people are still people.

A different "Rock Bottom" - UFO live with a very young looking Schenker & Way
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88iX4kS2r_g
I'm sure you are thinking of BRUCE Hornsby.
It is debatable if Butch ever had a good song nevermind a hit. I just read a book about Butch so decided to post a song. Wasn't my first choice but Butch's songs aren't abundant.
Thanks, Andy for sharing Joy by Apollo. I used to just lose my mind when I heard thst song as a kid. Not so much the Jesu part; but middle to the end. "Blast from the past!"
just the facts maam Mike L - Many people aren't familiar with Ronnie Montrose (RIP) unless they are Sammy Hagar fans. It was definitely ahead of its time
Rock Candy by Hagar solo w/ old friend Neil Schon (Journey) before their later collaboration:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJcQiC1irsE
Same song only Hagar w/ Chickenfoot (Michael Anthony & Joe Satriani):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayZSrv73lI0
From the same album, Hagar has done another song from the first Montrose album more often:
Bad Motor Scooter - Montrose Version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOMUOOjYDDE
Bad Motor Scooter - Hagar solo 10 years later:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5EgbkrkhVA
Side Note: If you listen to the clips, in one he says he wrote Rock Candy as the first song. In the other he says it's Bad Motor Scooter. Rock Candy was credited to all of them on the album, but Bad Motor Scooter is only Hagar.
Personally, I liked "Rock The Nation"'s opening best of all.
A fun song from 40 years ago

Thanks Andy! One of my Simon & Garfunkel favs. Love the multi-layered harmonies on that one which they recorded in an echo chamber. Not to mention the "Wrecking Crew" (Google it for those not familiar) the legendary studio musicians that put their mark on that amazing album from 1970.
Vic Don't think this got anywhere near number one, or the top 10, but it is a good one to play for all the proud dads out there, watching their boy grow up ... Happy Father's Day!

There was no escaping disco in the 70s. It was everywhere.
Some of my friends, who grew up on doo wop, could not stand it. But, I embraced it, since the girls liked it, and I became popular with them not for anything I did in sports... they didn't care about that ... but just because I'd get out there and dance and have a good time with them.

Stevie Wonder's tribute to the super cool Sir Duke. The video features most of the really famous black musicians we grew up with, including Chubby Checker!
Speaking of cool, relating music to sports memories as I do so often, I heard it play on the PA at Memorial Stadium the day future Hall of Famer Eddie Murray made his major league debut. Only 21, he was batting fifth against future Hall of Fame pitcher Bert Blyleven on opening day because the O's lost Reggie Jackson to free agency over the winter.
I liked Eddie's batting stance as he settled in, said to my buddy, "This guy looks like he's up there to HIT." 500 homers and 3,000 hits later, he certainly was. Steady Eddie was a guy who always put actions ahead of words.

Hey. thanks for posting a song by David Gates and Bread. I was afraid to post one on this thread, because I knew I'd be labeled "gay" by all the Hackettstonians who hate 'soft rock.'
Guitar Man from 1972
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpOjQvADLG4
Nixon was our president back then ... college students hated him because the Vietnam War just kept dragging on ... but I voted for him anyway in 72, because I thought George McGovern was 'soft on communism' ... that's how my thinking went back in 1972.
Bread , gay? naw I don't think so.
Now The Tom Robinson Band , that's another thing. But who cares. I just listen to the music and enjoy.

Where did you find this stuff? I must have been asleep during the '70's, or watching too much "Sesame Street" and "Mr. Rogers" with the little ones. But thanks. At least it was not disco.
Villanova won, anyway. The Wildcats were honored at the Phillies' home opener yesterday.

Just saw Todd Rundgren who I dismissed in the 70's as not quite a rocker, a chick-rocker at best. Sure he did his "hello, it's me" laments but also some real rockers, rap, Jamaican reggae, and even some rockabilly. All his, no covers. Also a very competent man on the axe.
We were lucky in that then man-couple (did I say chick rocker, maybe should have said Streisand-rocker :-) explained before the show that Todd was the white Prince. I had not a clue what they meant. Indeed they were right --- all the different song genres, instruments, a custom set every night and one of the most strenuous shows I have seen --- Springsteen level or above. Just no dancing. I mean he comes out, blast three songs machine gun style, explains he is doing a new set but jokingly says he starts with the same three songs so we can't ask for our money back. And then he nails 20-some more songs without a break. Would have kept going but the venue was closing. It was fantastic.
Since I didn't really know Todd, I wiki'd him to find out, OMG he's 68. And he did another show the next night with another custom set. Think about that. I would be out for a week after that workout. And how many songs did the band have to know to pull of a custom set every night. Probably played 25 or more for us, so figure what ---- 30, 40 songs to be ready for the tour. Band members must love him or hate him but guarantee they work hard for their money. Heck, they don't even know which set until the night of the show.
Highly recommended. Good for date night --- you'll have that lovin feelin, spiced with rockers and some great guitar solos, and wow, that's some energetic evening.
strangerdanger Ringo is still rocking at age 76 ... he performed during the 70s and IN HIS 70s, just like Paul McCartney, the Moody Blues and so many others...

The investors tried to corner the market on gold, buying as much of it as they could and driving up the price, but when the government found out, it released $4 million worth of gold into the market, driving down the price and clobbering the investors.

Lots of great songs here!
Meatloaf is probably represented here. If I took the trouble to scroll up, I'd probably find him.
His voice and passion, combined with Jim Steinman's talent, made "Bat Out of Hell" and some of their later works rank among the greatest, IMO.

On Dashboard Light, I've heard the story that Phil Rizzuto was told his script was for a song about baseball. When he heard the song, he was shocked that he was duped into being part of something like that. HOLY COW, that HUCKLEBERRY!!

Artists, marketers and salespeople can be, and sometimes are, lying sociopaths.
Great and terrible things come from that.
Only thing I can say about Phil Rizzuto is that he is probably better remembered by a lot more people due to that song.

This thread would make one hell of a playlist.
Wonder if WRNJ would make it happen? Their current playlist has gotten better, IMO, over the past month or so.
As an aside, I heard a pretty interesting interview on their "Healthier Living" segment this week. Lisa Dimicelli interviewed Dr. Stephen Bigelsen, an allergist (whom I later found out is a pancreatic cancer survivor) with quite the passion for his profession. Apparently, there are a number of new biologic therapies, and the "hygiene hypothesis" has been sorta replaced with the theory that certain bacteria actually prevent allergies, but have been killed-off in the US due to overuse of antibiotics/disinfectants, etc. HRMC is also trying to bring in more specialists to the area, which is a good thing.
Back to more on-topic commentary - RNJ used to have a pretty decent playlist with a lot of the old classics.
I still listen to them. Hometown radio is a vanishing species.
