Stupid comment. That’s just you loving your past, hating your present. It’s a closed mind that romanticizes your youth. Your parents hated your music, you hate your kids music, it’s a closed mind mentality. There’s generational talent in every era.
Music on AM Radio! It's a pity AM Stereo didn't make its debut back around 1975. Probably a lot of the major AM stations would be playing music today. Among the few who listen to terrestrial radio for music, FM is where it's at now.
The songs they're disrespectful about are still better than the majority of today's auto tuned garbage that you can't understand because of the soundtracks being so loud it sounds like a train horn.
He said it was based off the Rolling Stone list, and there is a certain style that the readers expect. And it depends on when the list was made, because 'the most hated' changes regularly.
I don't think there's any way shape or form loving you deserves this list. A lousy song is one like it's not over til it's over starship. No good lyrics no melody.
These are some of my favorite songs. They stand the test of time, they are still played on the radio. These songs are way better than the degeneracy of today’s music.
Well, "You're Having My Baby" kinda sucks unless she really is having your baby, and you want her to have your baby, otherwise, it's time to change the channel.
The arrogance of today's society bashing the hits of the past. Who is Rolling Stone to say? Sure, some of these are dull but I'd rather play these over the crude ass-in-your-face tracks nowadays. Disco Duck was silly, yes, but no different than a Weird Al Yankovic parody would have been.
Your not weird. There are so many charts out there. Not too long ago the same songs 70s greatest one hit wonders. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but that's just it...their opinion. Not everyone feels the same way
I grew up in the 70s and these songs are great songs. What the hell do you know. These songs sound better than your Puff Daddy, 50 Cents or L L Cool J.
I love the music in the Pina Colada song but the lyrics make my brain bleed. I tease my nieces and nephews about the lyrics in modern music but Rupert Holmes always had aneurism inducing stupid lyrics. "Oh, we were going to cheat on each other isn't that funny? Haha, our love is rekindled let's get back together!"
@@theeclectic2919 No, Minnie's last name was never "Ripperton." She was born Minnie Julia Riperton. Many people making a spelling mistake does not legitimize it, since it is a mistake. So adding an extra “p” to her last name is simply wrong. She was in a lot of pain and discomfort near her death and I wish she got more respect.
Worst? I don’t know about you but these were all beautiful songs. These were one hit wonders. And I don’t know about the polls but nobody asked me what I thought. Beautiful tunes that tell a story.
He's knocking true talent. Mini Riperton. She hit high notes in singing that no-one had ever achieved. Sad to see the younger generation not appreciate talent anymore & to show disregard & disrespect not appreciate the struggles of past people.
Rick Dee's was ALREADY a DJ before Disco Duck The AI that wrote this got so much stuff wrong. They couldn't even pronounce the Captain And Tenille correctly😅
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I was 20 in the 70s and now 70 in the 20s. Whoever came up with list must be 30 or 40. These 10 songs are hands down betting than the trash nowadays, except for Minnie Ripperton's song. That was, and still is, ear piercing.
@@theeclectic2919 P.S.: You wrote "It used to be "Ripperton" until the Mandela Effect kicked in." That sounds like you are saying the Mandela effect stopped the two "p" spelling. But then you say the two "p" spelling is the Mandela Effect.
As kid of the seventies, most of the songs you shared are songs most of the kids on my block absolutely loved, memorizing them, singing them, and even getting a little weepy, we enjoyed them, till the street light came on,.
Having survived the 70s, I find myself in agreement with this list. However, I would rather hear these songs on loop for a week than two hours of today's pop
Man Billy don't be a hero ate a hole in my brain back in the '70s. But with Debbie Boone I don't know a devotion song to Jesus it rocks my heart man and I sing having my baby by every abortion clinic I pass.
It’s no secret that Rolling Stone magazine is more into the harder rock such as metal. They’re not going to give good reviews on pop hits. For, you light up my life, to even be on this list, when even the MC stated that it was named the song of the 70s, gives you some perception as to the intent of the authors of the video. My guess is they probably weren’t even alive in the 70s and may be wrongfully comparing it to the crap that you hear today.
@LaVanderWilliams I could barely stay upright on skates when I was young, I'm 66 now, I would break every bone in my body in like 5 minutes now! And roller blades, I'd never even be able to get up!
I think Feelings was one of the best 70s songs, the reason its hated is because there were so many copy cat versions of the song. Remember all those day and night variety shows that mostly were made on a super low budget? They would say and now to open show here is some random guy singing Feelings, of course the 4 piece studio band could not match the big budget orchestral sound that Morris Albert delivered. Remember those cheap LPs that were sold at department stores for less than half what a record cost at the record store? There were so many wannabee singers who were not good enough to crack the big time but they could record an album of "classics" that would sell enough copies to pay the rent and of course they always included Feelings.
I was a teen in the GREAT 70s, and yes, the song's words are😅 incredibly sexist, but I really liked it - Having my Baby.! And Afternoon Delight was just pure corny but I liked as well. Rupert Holmes had a follow-up song called "Him" which was great. And a belated happy birthday to my favorite, Ms. Linda Ronstadt...Great decade for music.
I liked Afternoon Delight because my parents never figured out all the sexual innuendos in it. Being a teenager singing a song about sex in front of my parents was just great fun. Of course times were simpler then.
Ok, I’ll give you Muskrat Love and Disco Duck (maybe Afternoon Delight), but at least all of these songs were memorable, unlike most of the popular songs of the past ten years that all sound alike, and are completely forgettable.
Those of us who grew up during the 70’s these songs where what was playing and good, that’s just the way music was back then. Kids growing up today just don’t get it. Wait till they get older and people will knock their songs also. Some songs were goofy but funny.
These songs are classics and I love every one of them. The crap spewed out today as 'music' needs to be criticized and scrutinized. Only a moron can ridicule the true music of the 70's!!
No matter how bad the songs of the 70s are, they are still better than most of the songs they are now, and remember in the old days there was no auto tune so they recorded purely using their talents
Seasons in the Sun is a strange song. I know it's about an old man on his death bed,remininiscing about his life here on 🌎, and saying his final good-byes to his loved ones. But at first I thought it was about a guy about to commit suicide.
@@stevielease7952 in Actuality, the song was meant to be as a tribute to one of Terry Jack's best friend who was dying of cancer .Terry wanted to keep his memory alive .Fact.
...I don't know why could be "worst song" afternoon delight, this theme hit the billboard and got and award for the best vocal group of the year and revelation...lack of knowlegment about music from the people of roiling stones....
I don’t consider any of these as bad. I have most of them on my playlist! Especially the beautifully talented Minnie Riperton! God bless her soul❤ Loving You, Feelings, Seasons in the Sun, Afternoon Delight, & Escape are great songs. Having My Baby is sincere and Disco Duck is very funny! 😊
What do you think, are these really that bad?? 😮
I agree with most of them.
Personally I like them well you light up my life is a little downer for me. The rest I good for me to listen to
❤
@@robertweber2145 I liked Feelings at first,it was so overplayed and then I listened to how mundane the lyrics were.
They're all beautiful songs of that era. Definitely not bad
No, I like some of them.
Looks to me like a bad song from the 70’s is way better than the good crap we hear today.
No doubt
Sure is!
Absolutely! These songs were all AM Radio staples of my youth...and it's REAL music!
Stupid comment. That’s just you loving your past, hating your present. It’s a closed mind that romanticizes your youth. Your parents hated your music, you hate your kids music, it’s a closed mind mentality. There’s generational talent in every era.

WORST.???????? You have to be kidding , compared with today's rubbish these are gold.
I totally agree 👍 👌
Amen❤
I agree with you!👍
How dare you say Minnie Ripperton is the worst?! Hard rock bands have some of worst songs
Could not agree more !!! These songs are 100 x better than today's shite 🎉
These songs are better then the crap they play today hands down!!!!
They're saying that Minnie's song is bad, when she had the same high-pitched voice as Mariah, without any layering.
And people in the '70s were referring to '70s music as crap and wishing for '50s music.
This channel needs to go away
This is the worst channel on you tube forever. This channel I flush down the camode
@@LaVanderWilliamsMariah has her pitch voice
The songs they're disrespectful about are still better than the majority of today's auto tuned garbage that you can't understand because of the soundtracks being so loud it sounds like a train horn.
Agreed. But some songs are autotuned if they are remastered.
or fog horn
Their generation is too judgmental of a time they did not experience. Demonstrates a lake of awareness and a void of cultural understanding.
These "best of" and "worst of" lists by Rolling Stone have become a joke...
Actually at this point Rolling Stone has become a joke itself...
Now that is a true statement! 😅
Pronounced Captain and teneeel
Rolling Stone is a shell of its former self and I have never liked Jann Wenner
Rolling Stone has now become milliniai or Gen Z
Screw Rolling Stone!🤮
Whoever says these are bad songs never lived during this time period!!!!! I did, and loved them all!!
I couldn't agree with you more, those were the best of times for me.
I agree with you. Those were good songs that I enjoyed listening to at the except maybe Disco Duck. I never like that song.
Anything by tom jones
Who ever came up with this list doesn't know music and has no taste.
A lot of these were hated when they came out.
He said it was based off the Rolling Stone list, and there is a certain style that the readers expect. And it depends on when the list was made, because 'the most hated' changes regularly.

@@Michael-i8t5c Amen!
Everyone is a critic.
Are you crazy?! Loving you is a classic, unique in its own way.
She had a five octave voice, she and two other famales pop singers have/ had. You say bad I say Thank You for letting hear the sweet songs.
Only a handful of people in history have the range of Minnie Riperton. Thus song hi-lighted that.
@@sandralandivar5263 Minnie - a Chicago girl - was a Goddess, taken from us far too early. The title of her album says it all: "Perfect Angel."
I don't think there's any way shape or form loving you deserves this list. A lousy song is one like it's not over til it's over starship. No good lyrics no melody.
I agree , what about Wild Thing!
These are some of my favorite songs. They stand the test of time, they are still played on the radio. These songs are way better than the degeneracy of today’s music.
Someone forgot "Puppy Love" by Donny Osmond !! 🤮🤮🤮
Compared to todays rubbish, these are brilliant
You know that's right!
Sorry but those songs are all great in their own way
I dont see any
Bad songs better than
Todays crap
You know that's right!!
These songs were all major hits in the 70's
Yes they where, but These were just picked as bad song by Rollingstone readers.
@@ChatNoirVibesThen they better go back to English class, because they don't know Jack crap.
ok, but they still reeked
I can't believe "The Night Chicago Died" isn't on here. Or "Sweet City Woman."

As a teenager, I listened to these songs and loved them all.
Screw you.

All of them are one hundred times better than the “hits” of today!!!!!! 🤮
Well, "You're Having My Baby" kinda sucks unless she really is having your baby, and you want her to have your baby, otherwise, it's time to change the channel.
I’ll take any of these songs compared to the garbage they release today.

anyone who works for Rolling Stone and has written a hit song, please stand up.
❤
I completely agree!! How can you criticize someone for making a song that you’re not capable of doing! Shameful.
Even the very worst of the songs of the 70s are ten times better than the so called best songs of Today.
Whoever made this list is definitely a product of their time.
I don't think those Rolling Stone 'readers' ever lived in 70s..
Rolling Stone was once very influential. They are now irrelevant. A joke
They not only didn't live in the 70s, I doubt that the were born before Y2K.
I guess I'm weird but I still listen to those songs
You are not weird. I cannot find any songs from the past decade that I even give a damned about. I liked Seasons ln The Sun & Loving You is sweet.
@@tracyjacoby2382 you won't hear them on the radio I have a bunch of CDs

@@charmainecox8600 I have most of them on CDs

Seasons in the Sun can be misinterpreted as a guy about to commit suicide.

No, you're not.
I like Seasons In The Sun.👍🌞 I heard Kurt Cobain liked it as well. Sorry but Pinal Colada didn't impress me.😂
I like them too
Rolling Stone still has readers?
@@mellosunflower actually good question
😂😂. Good one
Just hipster trash.
And, btw, who is 'Rolling Stone'(without "s")?? 😜
This has to be a joke of a post. The only song that was terrible was “ Disco Duck”. Most of those songs are timeless hits that will last forever
I even liked Disco Duck
Worst songs? Are you kidding me?
That's what I was thinking.😄😄
The Pina Colada Song is always near the top of every soft rock countdown I have seen.
I remember that song as the song at the top of the charts when 1979 turned into 1980.
Loving You & You Light Up My Life are 70s standards!!
I had thought You Light Up My Life was actually being sung to God. That is the way I always think of it.
Debbie Boone actually sang this song at an outdoor crusade at our church. So inspiring !
Me too❤
@@mariehernandez5878 You're right, it was. She's a Christian, like her dad. I have no idea where this guy got his "information."

These songs are nostalgic,they remind me of simpler times.
Indeed !
You have got to be kidding me!! These are the best!!
When everybody was kung-fu fighting
this 1 definitely SUCKED!
I actually liked that one. But I was like 12 at the time.
In the early to mid 70s
I disagree with your take on
Seasons in the Sun, Pina Colada Song, and Afternoon Delight. These were all good songs.
I love the music in the Pina Colada song but the lyrics make my brain bleed. I tease my nieces and nephews about the lyrics in modern music but Rupert Holmes always had aneurism inducing stupid lyrics. "Oh, we were going to cheat on each other isn't that funny? Haha, our love is rekindled let's get back together!"
Agreed. I don't get why they were among the other songs. Or maybe I just have a soft place for cheesy songs that are fun to sing to.
Yes, all of them !
Is Rolling Sone still relevant? I LOVE most of these songs. Take your list and be on your way.
70s by far best decade of music.
These are actually some great song
I don't disagree, but Rollingstone Readers thought otherwise.
