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??
@@orchidwave2574 I have recently learned to dismantle some of the lies we are taught in school with very simple logic and I usually answer the same thing to anyone who suggests that God is not real or that the universe is a result of random chance. Some people talk about millions of years, and evolution, and a big bang, but those things are very easy to disprove. Do you know what Lego is? If you put a bunch of Lego pieces in a shoe box and shake it until it breaks open, do the pieces come out spread all over the place or with some kind of shape? Of course they come out spread all over the place. That’s because explosions produce chaos and destruction, not order. Order takes intelligence. If you are walking down the street and see 10 columns and 10 rows of apples forming a square shape, you can tell that there are 100 apples, and you can also tell that it didn’t happen by chance. There has to be a mind behind things like that. When you think about the order in everything around you, it’s easy to tell that there has to be a mind behind life. That’s one of the reasons the Big Bang theory doesn’t make sense. And neither does evolution. Even if the Lego pieces come out with some kind of shape, do you think that shape would become bigger and more complex with millions of years or fall apart, and degrade, and get a little stain here and there? Do you see what I’m trying to get to? There is no way to prove and no one has ever been able to prove that a single living cell multiplied and became fish, and that fish became mammal, and that mammal turned into thousands of different kinds of mammal until humans resulted from that evolution process. No one can prove it! Supposedly, it took millions of years for us to get to this point, and therefore we are still evolving at a very, very slow speed. But every animal that you see around you is fully developed. No animal has a half evolved leg, or a half evolved nose, or a half evolved brain that stops them from being fully functional. Do you know why? The Bible has the answer. It says in the first chapter of the Bible: Genesis 1:31 “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good...” The first verse of chapter 2 says: Genesis 2:1 “Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished.” So God created everything to be very good and He finished it. Nothing is evolving, according to the Bible. And what do you see around you? Nothing is evolving :)
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.
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!
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 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 ☃️🎄
@@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!!
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
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.
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.
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.
80s inicia en 1977.... 9:55 September 1977 (Electronic Music) inicia el EDM The NRG & Synthpop Sound of Giorgio⚡Moroder father & pionner of EDM since 1977.
i immediately thought that as the songs from 1979 (thankfully disco age was finally ending) started you can hear the transition from the 70's to 80's music style... January 1980 Video Killed The Radio Star The Buggles
@@MickeyMousePark The Buggles? 🤣 Moroder ya había consolidado el Synthpop en 1979 con Our Love (1979) y el sonido que le produjo al grupo Sparks y Japan...sin mencionar el sonido NRG que venia desarrollando, agregado a la electro del conjunto de productores y desarrolladores de la década 70s: Moroder, Jarre, Lacksman, Tangerine Dreams, YMO, Faltermeyer, Vangelis, Schulze, Tonet, Gizzi, Pinhas, Martin W. & Ian C. (The Human League)...entre otros que consolidaron la 1ra Generación de la electrónica Moderna y nutrieron la EDM en los 70s, como resultado se obtuvo la 2da generación de la EDM 80s y las bases fundamentales para su desarrollo: House, Techno, Trance, Synthpop, NRG, Freestyle, Italo, New Beat, Ácid House, Eurobeat...incluído el llamado EBM y lo más fluido de la Electro Industrial. Hasta los mismos Kraftwerk y su Krautrock & Electro Dusseldorf se vieron influenciado por la Electro de los productores citados The Buggles 🤣
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.
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 ❤️
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.
@@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.
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
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...
@@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
@NICHOLAS MEINI There was a study done some time ago (2012? Something like that) that rated every top 40 song from the 1960s to the time the study was done. They objectively rated each song on a variety of metrics (rhythmic complexity, harmonic complexity, dynamic range, lyrical complexity, melodic complexity, and a few other measures I cannot remember) and gave each song an overall complexity rating. The decade with the highest average ratings was the 1970s, followed by the 1980s, and then the first half of the 1990s and the second half of the 1960s. After the mid-1990s, the average musical complexity of top 40 songs plunged, and remained low to the time of the study.
@@TroglodyteDiner Oddly enough, when Biden recently knocked on wood, it reminded me of the song "Knock on Wood"/Amii Stewart so I looked it up on YT and it's such a really great song. (She looks fantastic today at 65).🎵💓And who could forget Donna Summer, RIP🌹❤
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.
@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 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!!
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.
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
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.
I remember most of these song. Even though I was in kindergarten and elementary school in the 70's. I had two older sisters who would play some of these songs over and over.....and over. I still think I am not quite emotionally healed after having to listen to "Seasons in the Sun" and "My Sharona" a million times!!!!!👍😋

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.
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.
EDM 70s 1ra Generation: NRG & Synthpop. EDM 80s 2da Generation: House, Techno, Synthpop, NRG, Freestyle, Italo, New Beat, Trance, Ácid, Eurobeat...incluído el llamado "EBM" y lo mas fluido de la Electro Experimental Industrial.
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??? 🤔
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.
I was born in 1960, I was a teenager when all of these songs were famous I remember all these songs like it was yesterday. Beautiful memories of my youth !!
I'm 1958 vintage. We had so much fun. I think now I didn't realise how good I had it. Guys and girls mixed so well. We didn't have much but it was a special time
I think 1979 is the best year for music. Between 70s and 80s it got everything. Apart from the songs listed in the video, I would like to remember: Boogie wonderland - EW&F Semptember - EW&F Another brick in the wall - pink Floyd Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd The logical song - Supertramp Breakfast in america - Supertramp Message in a bottle - Police Walking on the moon - police Crazy Little thing called love - queen Don't stop me now - queen Hold the line - TOTO I was made for loving you - KISS Sultans of swing - Dire Straits Highway to hell ACDC We are family - sisters sledge I would spend a million dollars for a week in 79
@@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.
The Lists are made, by combining, the Weekly Singles Charts, of a lot of Countries, from all over the World. Led Zeppelin hardly ever Released Singles. When They did, it was only in a few Countries, at a time. They did far, far better in the World's Albums Charts, of the 1970's, as did Pink Floyd & Deep Purple. In fact, in 1971, Led Zeppelin had the World's No.1 Album, for that Year, with their 'Led Zeppelin 4'. That is the one with 'Stairway To Heaven' on it.
@@CookiedoughProductions yea the most popular queens music was in the 80s but their best music was all in the 70s with albums such as Night At The Opera, Sheer Heart Atttack, News of the World and more
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!
@@anna___61 actually let it be was written by paul, the rest were him and Linda McCartney. Imagine by John was in the video too, wasn't included in the list.
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.
I am from 1982, but I happen to be influenced a lot with 70s around me as a baby. So I grew up loving 70s, 80s and 90s music. Even 50s and 60s although I cannot say why.
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.
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.
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. :)
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
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.
This music spanned my graduation from high school, my enlistment into the USAF at age 20, my marriage at age 22, the birth of my daughter at age 24, the birth of my son at age 27 and my exiting the USAF to become a civilian computer specialist at age 29. Needless to say, this brought back some memories. Thank you.
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'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 ☦️☦️☦️
Which god ?
@@orchidwave2574 I have recently learned to dismantle some of the lies we are taught in school with very simple logic and I usually answer the same thing to anyone who suggests that God is not real or that the universe is a result of random chance.
Some people talk about millions of years, and evolution, and a big bang, but those things are very easy to disprove.
Do you know what Lego is? If you put a bunch of Lego pieces in a shoe box and shake it until it breaks open, do the pieces come out spread all over the place or with some kind of shape? Of course they come out spread all over the place. That’s because explosions produce chaos and destruction, not order. Order takes intelligence. If you are walking down the street and see 10 columns and 10 rows of apples forming a square shape, you can tell that there are 100 apples, and you can also tell that it didn’t happen by chance. There has to be a mind behind things like that. When you think about the order in everything around you, it’s easy to tell that there has to be a mind behind life. That’s one of the reasons the Big Bang theory doesn’t make sense.
And neither does evolution. Even if the Lego pieces come out with some kind of shape, do you think that shape would become bigger and more complex with millions of years or fall apart, and degrade, and get a little stain here and there? Do you see what I’m trying to get to?
There is no way to prove and no one has ever been able to prove that a single living cell multiplied and became fish, and that fish became mammal, and that mammal turned into thousands of different kinds of mammal until humans resulted from that evolution process. No one can prove it!
Supposedly, it took millions of years for us to get to this point, and therefore we are still evolving at a very, very slow speed. But every animal that you see around you is fully developed. No animal has a half evolved leg, or a half evolved nose, or a half evolved brain that stops them from being fully functional. Do you know why? The Bible has the answer.
It says in the first chapter of the Bible:
Genesis 1:31
“Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good...”
The first verse of chapter 2 says:
Genesis 2:1
“Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished.”
So God created everything to be very good and He finished it. Nothing is evolving, according to the Bible. And what do you see around you? Nothing is evolving :)
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.

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
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 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!

Surprised not to see one Linda Ronstadt song. She rocked the 70's.
The way these songs are produced, and the equipment they used really give this era an iconic and unmistakable sound.

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.

@@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!!
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
Just listened to the 60s and 70s collections - The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elvis, Abba and The Bee Gees dominated two decades. Great memories.

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.
The fact that Paul solo, beatles, wings, John, George and even Ringo are here is amazing. But also like 3 of these are beatles covers. Fucking insane

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.

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!
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.
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.

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!
Stevie Wonder and David Bowie aren’t on here but are definitely kings of the 70s
Jackson 5 too.

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.

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.
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.

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.
Once ABBA appeared they owned the 70's charts.
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.

@NICHOLAS MEINI There was a study done some time ago (2012? Something like that) that rated every top 40 song from the 1960s to the time the study was done. They objectively rated each song on a variety of metrics (rhythmic complexity, harmonic complexity, dynamic range, lyrical complexity, melodic complexity, and a few other measures I cannot remember) and gave each song an overall complexity rating. The decade with the highest average ratings was the 1970s, followed by the 1980s, and then the first half of the 1990s and the second half of the 1960s. After the mid-1990s, the average musical complexity of top 40 songs plunged, and remained low to the time of the study.

great songs, great individuals, great groups says it all. My favorites were ABBA and BEEGEES, I loved the Beatles but they were mainly sixties.
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.

With punk knocking on the door and glam rock trying to break in. The 70's was just amazing for music!
Dance music....meh.The early 70's are musically on another level.
I didn't like July, September, November and December. So the rest are amazing songs.
Right !
I think 1979 is the best year for music. Between 70s and 80s it got everything.
Apart from the songs listed in the video, I would like to remember:
Boogie wonderland - EW&F
Semptember - EW&F
Another brick in the wall - pink Floyd
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
The logical song - Supertramp
Breakfast in america - Supertramp
Message in a bottle - Police
Walking on the moon - police
Crazy Little thing called love - queen
Don't stop me now - queen
Hold the line - TOTO
I was made for loving you - KISS
Sultans of swing - Dire Straits
Highway to hell ACDC
We are family - sisters sledge
I would spend a million dollars for a week in 79
I love all of those you have listed
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.
Bee Gees, Donna Summer and Abba defined the 70's.
Rock-wise: Led Zeppelin killed it.
pink floyd
And Paul McCartney. Five #1 albums in the US in the 70s.
The Lists are made, by combining, the Weekly Singles Charts, of a lot of Countries, from all over the World. Led Zeppelin hardly ever Released Singles. When They did, it was only in a few Countries, at a time. They did far, far better in the World's Albums Charts, of the 1970's, as did Pink Floyd & Deep Purple. In fact, in 1971, Led Zeppelin had the World's No.1 Album, for that Year, with their 'Led Zeppelin 4'. That is the one with 'Stairway To Heaven' on it.
Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd and queen all did great in the 70’s although a lot of queens music was more 80’s
@@CookiedoughProductions yea the most popular queens music was in the 80s but their best music was all in the 70s with albums such as Night At The Opera, Sheer Heart Atttack, News of the World and more
My son was born in 1974, and during long hours of labor, the attendants sang "Rock your Baby"; What a great song and memory!
Rock your baby
was the inspiration to
"Dancing Queen"
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!
Songs written by McCartney:
April 1970 0:24
September 1971 2:16
June 1973 4:30
June 1974 5:46
January 1975 6:31
June 1976 8:23
December 1977 10:14
👏Wow Because he's a beatle!
💯👍👌👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉He's Paul Mccartney from the beatles😊💯👏
@@anna___61 actually let it be was written by paul, the rest were him and Linda McCartney. Imagine by John was in the video too, wasn't included in the list.
George ,"My Sweet Lord," and Ringo, "Photograph," were in the video, too.
@@JungleLibrary yeah but mainly written by Paul
Ringo had " no no no " too.
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.
Jim Croce too for me!
don't forget david bowie
I really liked Dr. Hook & Jim Croce, too.
@@callmeloop9299 yes, and Stevie Wonder too
Lynyrd Skynyrd & ZZ Top
Rest in peace to these artist who laid to rest. Your music will live on forever. 💓
Here Here Old Bean!
R.I.P ✝️.
I am from 1982, but I happen to be influenced a lot with 70s around me as a baby. So I grew up loving 70s, 80s and 90s music. Even 50s and 60s although I cannot say why.
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!
@@roserollins9800 Just like hopping into a time machine! Those were the days---that song applies right now...
Aye, myself also...
I miss my Zenith radio...
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
As I have said many times to anyone that will listen, the seventies and early eighties were the greatest era of music the world will ever see.
I agree but I think truly great music lasted until 1987 or so
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.
What a whirlwind of amazing talent. Possibly the best decade for music
Hardly.
I am in tears listening to this fabulous montage of 70's music.
That’s great to hear! Nostalgia is a fickle feeling
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. :)
I could Listen to this all day and never get bored these songs are truly amazing
I recognized virtually every one of these... many had and still have remarkable memories!
Snap
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
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.
Полный комплект песен моей юности и молодости!! Спасибо вам за такой музыкальный экскурс.
Это не подборка чьего-то вкуса, это выборка песен, занимавших 1е места в чартах. Сухая статистика.
When the record technology, the sound quality, colour MTV and the variety improved, listening to the songs in the 70s is joy.
The 70s had everything! Best decade for music
The 70s decade was the best in music, so versatile nothing sounds the same incredible
chirpy chirpy cheep cheep🐥
What's that mean ?
@@cathynjohn
2:00 I was agreeing with you. 😃
😲 so many amazing songs..before my time most of it, but surely best decade ever!
The best decade is the one where the Beatles existed, so its the 60’s, but besides them that decade is the most important in music history.
Outstanding video. Brought feelings back. Nostalgia. One could see an evolution of popular music. I could see the child.
This music spanned my graduation from high school, my enlistment into the USAF at age 20, my marriage at age 22, the birth of my daughter at age 24, the birth of my son at age 27 and my exiting the USAF to become a civilian computer specialist at age 29. Needless to say, this brought back some memories. Thank you.
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.
Born in 64, this brought back my youthful memories!
don't you think the music and the singers were a lot better than todays
How are you doing today??
