Born in 1967 . . . I agree it was great . . I remember these songs like it was yesterday . . .we didn't have cable back when I was growing up and the radio was played a lot at our house . . . Yeah I miss this music. .
The 1970's were a great time to be alive. The music is over 40 years old and is still some of the best music ever written. It simply can not be topped.
I was a kid in the 70s . 5 years old 1970 , 14 years old 1979 . Music was the best I was able to listen to 50s , 60s and 70s . FM radio happened in the 70s was cool 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I generally only listen to music from the 70's and sometimes the 60's I may dip into the 80s but never beyond that. This is when the singers actually sung without help and played their own instruments. I miss the 70's...the music, the clothes, the tv shows (Soul Train) and especially my family and friends who are no longer here 😢
Born in the 50’s I was blessed by both the 60’s and 70’s music. Songs that made sense. That’s why everyone born later love our song’s. My grandson listens to the 60’s and 70’s. This music will never die!!
@@rhondahancock96 I'm a Beatles fanatic, however each to their own liking. Don't be like my dad who said the Beatles are 4 long haired gits ,60s and 70s will never die aye .
@@rhondahancock96 hi Rhonda ,have u ever heard of a girl group called The Ronettes, my favorite song is by them ,it's called, Be my baby, download the 2017 remastered version, it will blow you away ,by the way I was born in 1957
Born in 1967. Remember those K-Tel compilation albums? In 2nd grade about every other week or so the teacher would have us move our desks out of the way, she'd put a record on and we danced our little hearts out. She also played the guitar and we had sing-alongs. My favorite subject was disco. 🎶
I was born in the 1960's . . . my 3 older brothers were born in the early 1950's . . . They tought me well about the music of the 1960's . . .I listened to it with my brothers growing up . . . I love all the music from back in the day . . . music today is a damn joke as far as I'm concerned .
This could be 1000 songs easily. The 70's was when hard rock, punk and disco started. The Beatles just broke up, Elvis was still alive and so many great songs were written worldwide. Yes, I was a teenager in the 70's.
70s really was the best even if disco became little bit too big, among hits there where rock, disco, punk, soul, ballads, all kinds of music. Hip hop/rap I think was created at the end too.
My parents were kids during this decade so of course as a child I grew up hearing A LOT of this music. Even though I didn't appreciate it then, I am thankful now for having been exposed to such timeless music 📻🎶🎵👌🏽
I was born in 1957. It was the best music!!!!! Because it was my youth. I like to hear music, but such a music will never come. I wish I could go back in the 70!!!! eth with all the emotions. Best greetings to all who love this music!!! ELISABETH from AUSTRIA/ EUROPE 🇦🇹🎻🎶
Impressed. I could not do as well for 100 songs from the '30's! Not even close. Come to think of it not sure I can even name a song from then. Respect!
Diane your mum is awesome 🙂, i think one of the best gifts I've given my 5 kids throughout their childhood was a wide of music from classical to thrash metal. 🙂
That is great, you are blessed to grow up listening to these classics. We have 4 grown sons, and 9 teenage grandsons, we raised our sons to appreciate these old classics also, and we also, are pleased, that are grandchildren also enjoy listening to these old classics, we are a music loving family. My wife and I, we always listened to music when our sons were growing up, and music was played when our grandsons were visiting. You have a wonderful mom. God bless you all.
Now THAT was a major flashback to my childhood in the 70s! Knew almost every song and it made me forget that I'm now a 52 year old! Just pure MAGIC!! Many of these bands and songs are STILL some of my absolute favorites!! 🤩❤
@@mcvf7051 I'm 56,so I can say that at the time, I was 13 when the music was in its prime, disco was big,punk and rap were just beginning,a thing called the power ballad developed in the 70's, I could go on.
@@randymoyan7871 Doesn't it Randy? If I hear an oldie from the 70s, it's a guarantee that I'll still remember every single lyric! Such a wonderful time for being a kid and it's like that music was the soundtrack for our carefree, innocent lives. 😌 I so wish that we could go back in time and relive those wonderful years without the problems that come with adulthood. 😫😖🤬 Somebody needs to invent a time machine where we could go back where we could be young again and relive those incredible memories! 😊 Sigh. 😒
We were naive kids. Plenty of kids are happy today, too. Probably the biggest difference between my childhood and my kids' is that I played outside, unsupervised, all the time. Summer break? I'd come in for dinner and maybe for lunch if I didn't eat at a friend's house. But other than that, I was basically outside - down the street, across the neighborhood, or even in other neighborhoods from 4th grade on. Don't get me wrong, we played video games and watched TV sometimes, too. But I was 5 shades darker and my hair was bleached by the sun. And I didn't know much about what was going on in the world. I was around when my parents watched the news. But I didn't care enough to pay attention, let alone think about it. My kids are much better informed, and we don't watch the news. 😂
@@robertallan6373 You should be proud of it but when you actually get out of your house you will see kids.Kids that are happy.Yes they exist.You are not that special.The songs you listened back then are,not you.
@@user-lx7sg8ks7b Of course the songs are not me or anyone, but they are a part of me, a part of my programming as a human being, as my identity, just as everything else we experience is a accumulation of who we are.
Omg what a sheer nostalgia blast. I was born in 59 and these are the songs that played all through my formative years. It’s funny how so many of them triggered beautiful memories and an innocence that is long gone. How I wish I was back then and without the need to have the knowledge I have today. This was my favourite era for sure.
Why do you feel the knowledge is a bad thing for you. I’m 53 and I’m starting to be sorry I know or have seen so much. I think it makes us very mistrusting of others and scares us away from too many things.
Top 100? I could probably do a top 1,000, born 63 growing up with my folks playing 50/60/70’s music but 70’s definitely my favourite,it brings back memories of those lazy hazy summer days, leave home in the morning, not eating until we got home for tea. I really wish I could go back😢.
Was a teen going into my 20's in the 70's.....never cared for the mild, nice songs....I wanted the wild, guitar blasting, good beats ! Now looking back, my views have changed on the music, lots of great memories with lots of great tunes, slow, fast, etc....
I was born in 62, I have the best childhood memories of this music. Had all the tiger beat posters on my bedroom wall and the life size poster of the Jackson 5 taped on the end of my bunk bed . ( I had to use my allowance that I got from doing chores around the house to actually buy the magazine .) My parents were members of the Columbia Record Club. Thanks to them, I love John Denver, America, Three dog Night, Seals and Croft, Melanie, the Carpenters, Dr. Hook, Elton John, Jackson 5, Eagles, and sooooo many more musicians. I wish everyone could could experience a childhood in the seventies.
Great soundtrack for the best childhood in the 70's and most fun coming of age in the 80's! Reminds me of family car rides, summer days, school dances and nights at the roller rink. Great memories!
@@ellap4235 Agreed with you and Daniel Fronc. ONE song by Rod Stewart and it's "D'ya Think I'm Sexy?"? Where is "Maggie May" or "You're In My Heart"!? And if there was one Who song on here, "Behind Blue Eyes"? PLEASE! What happened to "Baba O'Riley" or "Pinball Wizard? Elton John's only song is "Daniel"? Too many here, but I'll ask about "Your Song", "Bennie & The Jets" and "Crocodile Rock"! And shouldn't the only Fleetwood Mac song on here be from the RUMOURS album!? I'm all for "Rhiannon", but where are "Dreams", "Don't Stop", and "Go Your Own Way"!? Oh, and Supertramp's one song is "Breakfast In America"? What about "The Logical Song", "Goodbye Stranger", and "Long Way Home"? Finally, the one song from Donna Summer is a good one, but what happened to "Last Dance" or "Hot Stuff"?
True ,,, I am Rock so i see rock is excuded here as Sabbath ,,Zep ,,, & Ronnie James Dio . But whats funny is a friend saw my music collections and playlists ,,most all hard rock .. , then he laughed when he saw The Carpenters was there too . Miss Carpenter was some kinda angel i guess . Yes she is truly loved by many . A Voice of an Angel i agree
@@ethermusic4455 Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, Carpenters, all excellent music in my opinion, and Karen's voice is something special.
Z.W. so cool this story >> i live in Boise .population 25,000 at the time , Circa 1974 about... My friend and i were about 14 years old when his older brother @ Calif.State Berkley called frantic and said """you have to see a concert coming to Boise next week .!! You must ."" So we did. Bought tickets and not heard of the band . My town then was backwoods country kinda .. The venue had a capacity for several thousand but only a couple hundred of us showed up ,,we all stood on floor front of the stage .Now Even though this band saw that the hall was nearly empty they still played 2 Full Hours for us there . The concert could have been easily canceled..And The Bands Name ? . . . Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention . lol. . wow . : ) Man whatta guy to do that ,, play two hours for us then . . . Frank Zappa was such a good man in many many ways : )
Born in 2005, raised on 70s-90s music. I'm glad my parents raised me like this. Nothing can top this kind of music. And it all has that certain tone/pitch that you can always hear in this kind of music, and that it was makes it so great.
The 90s were a mixed bag. Early 90s for me was where the great music stopped. It all went downhill when the likes of Oasis and The Spice Girls appeared. I couldn't stand all that Radiohead, Nirvana, REM tripe. People seemed to go euphoric over that stuff as if it gave their life some meaning or something. I dont think it was like that in previous decades. For me the 90s was the era when it became trendy to follow certain bands as if by doing so it made you feel like you were in some kind of exclusive club.
Realizing how very fortunate I was to be a teenager in the late 60’s through the 70’s. This was a good summary of mostly pop music, but the real giants were the Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Doobie Brothers, the Commodores, Marvin Gaye, Todd Rundgren, Jackson Browne, Hall & Oates, Grand Funk Railroad, Earth Wind & Fire, Three Dog Night, etc. These were the acts packing the stadiums.
most Generations past the 80's have no clue that the best music ever created was during the 60's,70's and 80's! When my daughter was young, that's all she hesrdy in my car lol and at 22 she has a true appreciation of music. More often than not at the age of 22, I hear playing in the background in her car these era's of music. Lovd it!?
When the music industry was at the top of their game, hired musicians based on talent not looks, and if you were lucky enough to live through the 70s through the early 90s you were privied to a truckload of great music back then
I did 😂 Not a lot of people know this but Saturday Night was first released by them in 1971 as a single before Les McKeown became lead singer. It was then on their first album in 1975 sung by Les.McKeown. It was also their first US single in 1976 and reached No1. Now what does that tell you 😂
Definitely a music child of the 70s (born in 63). One of the best times was every Sunday morning lying in bed listening to American Top 40 with Casey Kasem and going to the local record store to get the weekly charts. Early 70s I relied on a clunky bedside tube radio and mid-70s my awesome Dad bought me a real stereo system which opened up the world of album-oriented music. So many great songs and great memories.
That’s amazing. I always have my dad tell me how life was in the 70s. Sounds so peaceful compared to today, the older generations are really lucky to have been in such a great era, I envy you guys.
@@sarahelo9656 Ha ha thank you for the comment, and yes those were special times now firmly planted in the past. Easy to have a sense of envy for for seemingly simpler times. Just remember though, back then there was no internet, no mobile phones, no video tapes or DVDs or Blueray or MP3/4 audio/video, no bit torrent downloads or Netflix. In essence, all of a person's recorded musical experience was limited to radio playlists and vinyl singles and LPs if they could afford them. Kids of today would fall over hyperventilating and having seizures faced with such a bleak existence. ;-)
@@nongthip Yes! My generation needs their phones like a baby needs a pacifier. Oh, but I would trade any crummy tech I have to have been born in the 60s or 70s! I feel like it's made people so anti-social and cynical. I only need to have some good tunes, a fishing boat, and my family to enjoy life (maybe I can even take my record player on the boat, listen to ELO and George Harrison, that's on my bucket list for the future! :)
@@sarahelo9656 A particular thing I remember from a George Harrison song, "All Things Must Pass". Each generation should deeply appreciate what they have, and then eventually let it move on to what's next... th-cam.com/video/QWV4pFV5nX4/w-d-xo.html
@@nongthip I love that album! He’s my favorite solo artist, and wrote a lot of songs that helped me realize the bigger picture in life. Despite my negative outlook on today’s era, I’ve met so many lovely people through the internet, like yourself! And I’m just grateful to have the family I have. It’s the person who makes the era worth living in, right?!
Born in '85, I grew up in the 1990s. The music was good, but nothing like the 1970s. I'm insanely jealous of those who lived through it. This list of 100 songs is just a snapshot of how diverse, magical and downright brilliant the music was back then. By far my favourite decade in music. Great job on the video!
You might not know it but everywhere you went was seriously hung in cigarette smoke. Speed limit was 55 and there were just a few TV stations they all went off air after Johnny Carson.
Born in 65! No need to be jealous, the 90's had great music artistry too with new genres, bands and styles. Even the 00's had good music up to about 09........ What has the last decade given us? Industry made music , purely for profit ; realiity tv musicians that have the longevity of about a year and awful homemade rap from influencers and TH-cam personalities. Be glad you were born in the Golden age (1955-2000) of music when everything was beautiful and new.
Think about it. Such a change between 1970 and 1973. You can notice the residual 60s folk music feel to the music of the early 70s. I was in high school from 73 to 77 and to me, those years will stick with me most. Thanks for posting.
I was born 26 years ago yesterday and the 60's/70's are my favourite time for music, fashion and overall vibe ever, my family say I was born at the wrong time. I love The Carpenters, Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel, Melanie Safka, ABBA, Janis Joplin, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Ocean... I could go on forever, thankyou for this!😍💛
Sooo true for the 70's as a kid and being a teenager in the 80's have givin songs I didn't like then a second chance. Music for me has been unlistenable since the mid 90's till now.
I definitely appreciated it at the time - it was the soundtrack to my growing up, listening booths, radio, TOTP, cassette recordings off Pick of the Pops (Not arf!) and learning all the lyrics (which I still know). Unbeatable. I’m a ‘58 lad and I totally loved the 70s
Born in -58, I remember all of these songs, had most of them on a cassette, great music. You just have to love the 70's disco and ABBA of course. Happy days !
Went thru high school in the 70's . This music with good friends hanging out makes me feel sorry for what kids have to listen to today,no soul in today's music.
Very disagreeable. Again what you’re doing is basing your point off of nostalgia and entitlement. And believe or not, there is still soul and emotion in today’s music. But it probably isn’t your taste. It doesn’t mean it’s bad.
Same here. Nothing special about you though. We were all raised with different music no matter what times they’re from. That’s just music appreciation.
I made a '70s playlist that's almost SEVEN hundred songs, and there's still stuff left off (but it does have the likes of Bowie, Mannilow, the Bee Gees and Abba among many others). It's called "70s Songs--Chronologically By Year" if you're curious. The '70s were quite a time for music!
I was born in 72 but remember very well the music of those days and going roller skating etc. In the 70's all the music was good like Rock, heavy rock, Pop even the country in the 70's was good. There was not any music I did not like. Music of 70's and 80's was the best of all times and there will never be good music like in those days.
Born in 1965 I'm definitely a 70's kid But you forgot a lot of great bands.Led Zeppelin,Pink Floyd,Heart,Peter Frampton,Lynyrd Skynyrd,Foghat,Mountain,Kansas ,The Ozarks Mountain,Gary Wright,Argent,Ted Nugent,ZZ Top,Ac DC, Van Halen,Kiss, Todd Rundgren, Jefferson Starship,The Cars,Meatloaf,Joan Jett,Blonde, Climax blues band. And go list on.
We were spoiled rotten. It never occurred to me then that people would increasingly forget how to write songs. We were bombarded constantly with great music, one after another. Now, you have to dig pretty deep to find anything good.
Again, that is just your taste. And there is still mainstream music that is still really good, but again it’s your taste and it doesn’t mean it’s bad. People back then were probably saying the same things about your generation as well, so maybe be careful with what you say because it sounds like you’re also turning spoiled.
@@arturoromero951 Actually, they weren't saying that back then. Mainly, I blame the industry. It's become formulaic and it's run by gatekeepers who've decided on a small handful of formulas they will accept. Sure you can run across a good or even great song every now and then but from the late 1950s through the 1970s, great songs were a dime a dozen. Modern music is pretty pathetic and anemic by comparison.
@@MyXxx77 Not really. While there are many things about it that some might agree on, there are many music industries that want to make sure the artists stand out and many people even challenge or take risks in what they do so that they can form a career or identity for themselves and it can reflect their music that they do. I mean many rappers have challenged their subjects they talk about in their music. And there are still many songs that still creative in what they do as they can experiment with many things besides melody. Sometimes they’ll experiment with lyrics, rhythm or flow. And while you realize that many songs have to have these great qualities, some songs that have great potential sometimes never see the light of day. And some songs that contribute have to have catchiness and also repetition. If it may not be catchy enough, then it won’t captivate some people (even though it’s always not true). And there’s a fine line between being repetitive and not. If it’s too repetitive it can be jarring but if it’s not, then it can be easily forgettable or boring. And most music isn’t for everyone but it mostly works that way. And some people have still made creative and great feats by doing so even today. That’s the most important thing to consider for this. It mostly depends on who works in the industries.
@@arturoromero951 Today, you have 6 producers controlling what gets pop chart airplay. Count how many songs in the top 40 use the I vi IV V progression for instance. It's not that people need to hear that chord progression over and over again. It's that the people who control the industry decided that's people would hear over and over again. They consider it safe, so they demand it (you will always find exceptions but over the past 10 or so years, that has become the accepted "formula"). A similar thing happened in the late 50s when "Doo Wop" became popular and the Doo Wop progression became the formula. A number of great songs were written using that formula but it's grip on the industry didn't last long. listen to some top 20s month by month over the past 60 years and you'll hear what I'm talking about when it come to rich musical diversity. It's why classic reaction videos are such a hit right now. It's as if these people are hearing music for the first time. In most cases, they're really just hearing great music for the first time.
Awesome list. Growing up in the U.S. in the 70's, ten of these songs would be Barry Manilow, seven Billy Joel, seven the Eagles, five from Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, five KC and the Sunshine band, five Zeppelin, five Stones, five James Taylor, five Chicago, five the Carpenters... and everybody else would round out the hundred.
Hey Random Guy.....you forgot Barry Manilow.....he was huge in the 70's.....so incredibly talented.....and gorgeous too......a true superstar......and still is.....he is definitely one of the best performers from that era!! And how about K C & the Sunshine Band too. But I really liked seeing David Cassidy, Andy Gibb & the Bay City Rollers on here.....love them all! Have a great day!! 🙂💚🤗
I always feel a hint of sadness with a lot of music from the 70s. I think because that was my childhood and wish I could go back and live it all again, making better decisions in life hopefully.
Born in the 50's, grew up in the 60's and 70's. I remember all of these songs when they first came out, (WOW) I am getting old, loved them then and still do today, I must like them, I have 99 out of the 100 in my music library. One thing about growing up in that era was ALL THE INCREDIBLE MUSIC we had, songs from the 60's, even the 50's and the 70's. Listening to the radio was awesome, if you found a good station, because they were playing hit after hit, after hit, after hit, after hit all day long, it was GREAT. Thank goodness I have a pretty extensive music library, I would say from 1955 until 1990 I probably have about 97 or 98% of all the Billboard top 100 songs along with MANY others hits that did not reach number one, but were still great songs, so I am very fortunate and blessed that I can listen to all these AWESOME songs anytime I want to.
Right on Greg, you sound alot like me, use to listen to WKBW-am in the 60's, and then in the 70's went over to FM....still have my records....and I especially love the not so great hits, like you say, they played them on the radio, but they weren't top 10, but still great, I notice MusicChoice Cable TV, sometimes plays alot of the lesser known haven't heard in years tunes.....love 'em.
I was born in 1982 and always say I was born too late. I always listen to the 60s, 70s, and 80s channel in my car. I would rather hear this music than todays. My favorite singer is Elvis Presley

This could be 1000 songs easily. The 70's was when hard rock, punk and disco started. The Beatles just broke up, Elvis was still alive and so many great songs were written worldwide. Yes, I was a teenager in the 70's.
I remember the day elvis died, the lady across the road was heartbroken 💔 Norma Brown.
70s really was the best even if disco became little bit too big, among hits there where rock, disco, punk, soul, ballads, all kinds of music. Hip hop/rap I think was created at the end too.
It was a whole different world back then. One I would gladly go back to in an instant.
My parents were kids during this decade so of course as a child I grew up hearing A LOT of this music. Even though I didn't appreciate it then, I am thankful now for having been exposed to such timeless music 📻🎶🎵👌🏽
Hello
Best music ever was made in the 70’s! Amazingly talented bands, singers and writers! Terrific decade to have grown up in.
It was a great era for singer-songwriters.
Watching that it seems there was a tremendous amount of diversity in the types of music too.
Hello! how are you doing today?
Maria your right these were the great days we search for old songs but were really looking 4 old memories
Oh those were the days! Music was just simply good, so much talent.
And the variety of music was good too.
I was born in 1957. It was the best music!!!!! Because it was my youth.
I like to hear music, but such a music
will never come. I wish I could go back in the 70!!!! eth with all the emotions.
Best greetings to all who love this music!!!

I think my mom raised me right! I’m only 18 and I know like ~80 of these songs by heart
Impressed. I could not do as well for 100 songs from the '30's! Not even close. Come to think of it not sure I can even name a song from then. Respect!
Diane your mum is awesome 🙂, i think one of the best gifts I've given my 5 kids throughout their childhood was a wide of music from classical to thrash metal. 🙂
I’m 14 and I know every song on here along with the video on the 60’s songs off by heart. Best music ever
Good job! Great music back then.
That is great, you are blessed to grow up listening to these classics. We have 4 grown sons, and 9 teenage grandsons, we raised our sons to appreciate these old classics also, and we also, are pleased, that are grandchildren also enjoy listening to these old classics, we are a music loving family. My wife and I, we always listened to music when our sons were growing up, and music was played when our grandsons were visiting. You have a wonderful mom. God bless you all.
No surprise how many titles were covered in the 90s and 2000's. Quality music never will die.
Now THAT was a major flashback to my childhood in the 70s! Knew almost every song and it made me forget that I'm now a 52 year old! Just pure MAGIC!! Many of these bands and songs are STILL some of my absolute favorites!! 🤩❤
I’m 52 as well born in July! I’m with you Stephanie 😃💜🎸🎷🎹
@@mcvf7051 I'm 56,so I can say that at the time, I was 13 when the music was in its prime, disco was big,punk and rap were just beginning,a thing called the power ballad developed in the 70's, I could go on.
Going on 52,I remember most of these songs
I'm 53 and remember all these classic songs. Brings back so many great memories as a kid.
@@randymoyan7871 Doesn't it Randy? If I hear an oldie from the 70s, it's a guarantee that I'll still remember every single lyric! Such a wonderful time for being a kid and it's like that music was the soundtrack for our carefree, innocent lives. 😌 I so wish that we could go back in time and relive those wonderful years without the problems that come with adulthood. 😫😖🤬 Somebody needs to invent a time machine where we could go back where we could be young again and relive those incredible memories! 😊 Sigh. 😒
No wonder we were much happier back then than today's kids.
ok boomer
We were naive kids. Plenty of kids are happy today, too.
Probably the biggest difference between my childhood and my kids' is that I played outside, unsupervised, all the time. Summer break? I'd come in for dinner and maybe for lunch if I didn't eat at a friend's house. But other than that, I was basically outside - down the street, across the neighborhood, or even in other neighborhoods from 4th grade on.
Don't get me wrong, we played video games and watched TV sometimes, too. But I was 5 shades darker and my hair was bleached by the sun. And I didn't know much about what was going on in the world. I was around when my parents watched the news. But I didn't care enough to pay attention, let alone think about it. My kids are much better informed, and we don't watch the news. 😂
@@user-lx7sg8ks7b Yep and proud of it, I do feel sorry for you though.
@@robertallan6373 You should be proud of it but when you actually get out of your house you will see kids.Kids that are happy.Yes they exist.You are not that special.The songs you listened back then are,not you.
@@user-lx7sg8ks7b Of course the songs are not me or anyone, but they are a part of me, a part of my programming as a human being, as my identity, just as everything else we experience is a accumulation of who we are.
Wonderful trip down memory lane. The 70’s was an era that made real music! Fantastic, thank you x
4561z my number n hav a grandson hendrix so yes life is sweet not mud peace or is that racisist homaphobic or anti lesbian
Omg what a sheer nostalgia blast. I was born in 59 and these are the songs that played all through my formative years. It’s funny how so many of them triggered beautiful memories and an innocence that is long gone. How I wish I was back then and without the need to have the knowledge I have today. This was my favourite era for sure.
Why do you feel the knowledge is a bad thing for you. I’m 53 and I’m starting to be sorry I know or have seen so much. I think it makes us very mistrusting of others and scares us away from too many things.
I'm 1959 too.
1959! My peeps.
Me too...being born in 1959 led to the greatest teenage years in the 1970s. I miss those days and would go back in a heart beat.
I was born in 1959 also..loved growing up in the 70s teenage years was amazing
It would be so hard to make a top 100 song list of the 1970's - so much great music!!
It would be harder to do one from 2012-2022....you won't find enough songs to put on the list
Top 100? I could probably do a top 1,000, born 63 growing up with my folks playing 50/60/70’s music but 70’s definitely my favourite,it brings back memories of those lazy hazy summer days, leave home in the morning, not eating until we got home for tea. I really wish I could go back😢.
Was a teen going into my 20's in the 70's.....never cared for the mild, nice songs....I wanted the wild, guitar blasting, good beats ! Now looking back, my views have changed on the music, lots of great memories with lots of great tunes, slow, fast, etc....
I was born in 62, I have the best childhood memories of this music. Had all the tiger beat posters on my bedroom wall and the life size poster of the Jackson 5 taped on the end of my bunk bed . ( I had to use my allowance that I got from doing chores around the house to actually buy the magazine .) My parents were members of the Columbia Record Club. Thanks to them, I love John Denver, America, Three dog Night, Seals and Croft, Melanie, the Carpenters, Dr. Hook, Elton John, Jackson 5, Eagles, and sooooo many more musicians. I wish everyone could could experience a childhood in the seventies.
Hello! how are you doing today?
Great soundtrack for the best childhood in the 70's and most fun coming of age in the 80's! Reminds me of family car rides, summer days, school dances and nights at the roller rink. Great memories!

Amazingly, this list didn't even scratch the surface.
Ya' got that right. I was thinking the same. And if I was going to put an Eagles tune on the list it'd certainly be Hotel California.
Seriously! "Calypso" by John Denver?? What about "Rocky Mountain High" or "Take Me Home Country Roads"?
@@danielfronc4304 As well as "Desperado", "Take It Easy" and "Heartache Tonight"!
@@ellap4235 Agreed with you and Daniel Fronc.
ONE song by Rod Stewart and it's "D'ya Think I'm Sexy?"? Where is "Maggie May" or "You're In My Heart"!?
And if there was one Who song on here, "Behind Blue Eyes"? PLEASE! What happened to "Baba O'Riley" or "Pinball Wizard?
Elton John's only song is "Daniel"? Too many here, but I'll ask about "Your Song", "Bennie & The Jets" and "Crocodile Rock"!
And shouldn't the only Fleetwood Mac song on here be from the RUMOURS album!? I'm all for "Rhiannon", but where are "Dreams", "Don't Stop", and "Go Your Own Way"!?
Oh, and Supertramp's one song is "Breakfast In America"? What about "The Logical Song", "Goodbye Stranger", and "Long Way Home"?
Finally, the one song from Donna Summer is a good one, but what happened to "Last Dance" or "Hot Stuff"?
@@ellap4235 "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh!
Karen Carpenter had the most beautiful voice in this decade, voice that is very often excluded in lists of best female vocals.
Indeed.
True ,,, I am Rock so i see rock is excuded here as Sabbath ,,Zep ,,, & Ronnie James Dio . But whats funny is a friend saw my music collections and playlists ,,most all hard rock .. , then he laughed when he saw The Carpenters was there too . Miss Carpenter was some kinda angel i guess . Yes she is truly loved by many . A Voice of an Angel i agree
I think Karen has the most beautiful voice of all time.
@@ethermusic4455 Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, Carpenters, all excellent music in my opinion, and Karen's voice is something special.
Z.W. so cool this story >> i live in Boise .population 25,000 at the time , Circa 1974 about... My friend and i were about 14 years old when his older brother @ Calif.State Berkley called frantic and said """you have to see a concert coming to Boise next week .!! You must ."" So we did. Bought tickets and not heard of the band . My town then was backwoods country kinda .. The venue had a capacity for several thousand but only a couple hundred of us showed up ,,we all stood on floor front of the stage .Now Even though this band saw that the hall was nearly empty they still played 2 Full Hours for us there . The concert could have been easily canceled..And The Bands Name ? . . . Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention . lol. . wow . : ) Man whatta guy to do that ,, play two hours for us then . . . Frank Zappa was such a good man in many many ways : )
Born in 2005, raised on 70s-90s music. I'm glad my parents raised me like this. Nothing can top this kind of music. And it all has that certain tone/pitch that you can always hear in this kind of music, and that it was makes it so great.
I am so glad I got to experience three of the best decades of music. The 70's for sure, the 80's and 90's!
Don't forget 60's
60's, 70's
Anything before 2000 awesome after junk
Lucky
The 90s were a mixed bag. Early 90s for me was where the great music stopped. It all went downhill when the likes of Oasis and The Spice Girls appeared. I couldn't stand all that Radiohead, Nirvana, REM tripe. People seemed to go euphoric over that stuff as if it gave their life some meaning or something. I dont think it was like that in previous decades. For me the 90s was the era when it became trendy to follow certain bands as if by doing so it made you feel like you were in some kind of exclusive club.
My childhood....
Pure gold
I was born in the late 1960's so these were the soundtrack of most of my childhood.
A little dose of nostalgia goes a very long way, brilliant stuff, I was born in 1963 and these songs are the soundtrack of my life.
Born in 70. My mama played the radio everyday and loved to dance and sing along. I guess it rubbed off on me. Love 70's and 80's music! ❤😘
Hello Teresa. How are you doing?
Realizing how very fortunate I was to be a teenager in the late 60’s through the 70’s. This was a good summary of mostly pop music, but the real giants were the Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Doobie Brothers, the Commodores, Marvin Gaye, Todd Rundgren, Jackson Browne, Hall & Oates, Grand Funk Railroad, Earth Wind & Fire, Three Dog Night, etc. These were the acts packing the stadiums.
I’m 65 (!?), and I discovered the fountain of youth: listen, and dance to, songs of your teen years. I guarantee you will be 16 again.
Yes, that's so true. 😃
just did some break dancing !!!! everything broke cant go to hospital might catch covid !!!!!!
Yep ! 66 here !
Yes! Thank you!!!
most Generations past the 80's have no clue that the best music ever created was during the 60's,70's and 80's!
When my daughter was young, that's all she hesrdy in my car lol and at 22 she has a true appreciation of music. More often than not at the age of 22, I hear playing in the background in her car these era's of music. Lovd it!?
Hello! how are you doing today?
I am a kid again, born in 1962 love ❤️ 😍 💖 anything between 60's to the 90's. I can understand every word that is being sung. Except Rod Stewart
When the music industry was at the top of their game, hired musicians based on talent not looks, and if you were lucky enough to live through the 70s through the early 90s you were privied to a truckload of great music back then
Yes, after the early 90's it went downhill very fast!
Except for Bay City Rollers which was all about looks and fashion.
@@peterbothwell9005 what you didn't like Saturday night 😉😉😉😂😂😂
I did 😂
Not a lot of people know this but Saturday Night was first released by them in 1971 as a single before Les McKeown became lead singer.
It was then on their first album in 1975 sung by Les.McKeown.
It was also their first US single in 1976 and reached No1.
Now what does that tell you 😂
Remember K-Tel music offers! Also Time-Life and even Reader's Digest had offers where you could get a lot of this music at a low price!
Definitely a music child of the 70s (born in 63). One of the best times was every Sunday morning lying in bed listening to American Top 40 with Casey Kasem and going to the local record store to get the weekly charts. Early 70s I relied on a clunky bedside tube radio and mid-70s my awesome Dad bought me a real stereo system which opened up the world of album-oriented music. So many great songs and great memories.
That’s amazing. I always have my dad tell me how life was in the 70s. Sounds so peaceful compared to today, the older generations are really lucky to have been in such a great era, I envy you guys.
@@sarahelo9656 Ha ha thank you for the comment, and yes those were special times now firmly planted in the past. Easy to have a sense of envy for for seemingly simpler times. Just remember though, back then there was no internet, no mobile phones, no video tapes or DVDs or Blueray or MP3/4 audio/video, no bit torrent downloads or Netflix. In essence, all of a person's recorded musical experience was limited to radio playlists and vinyl singles and LPs if they could afford them. Kids of today would fall over hyperventilating and having seizures faced with such a bleak existence. ;-)
@@nongthip Yes! My generation needs their phones like a baby needs a pacifier. Oh, but I would trade any crummy tech I have to have been born in the 60s or 70s! I feel like it's made people so anti-social and cynical. I only need to have some good tunes, a fishing boat, and my family to enjoy life (maybe I can even take my record player on the boat, listen to ELO and George Harrison, that's on my bucket list for the future! :)
@@sarahelo9656 A particular thing I remember from a George Harrison song, "All Things Must Pass". Each generation should deeply appreciate what they have, and then eventually let it move on to what's next...

@@nongthip I love that album! He’s my favorite solo artist, and wrote a lot of songs that helped me realize the bigger picture in life. Despite my negative outlook on today’s era, I’ve met so many lovely people through the internet, like yourself! And I’m just grateful to have the family I have. It’s the person who makes the era worth living in, right?!
Every song recalls a great memory...... a time, a place, a friend. So precious and cherished.
And a lot of freedom and love to another. Not like today.

Born in '85, I grew up in the 1990s. The music was good, but nothing like the 1970s. I'm insanely jealous of those who lived through it. This list of 100 songs is just a snapshot of how diverse, magical and downright brilliant the music was back then. By far my favourite decade in music. Great job on the video!
999998% agree
You might not know it but everywhere you went was seriously hung in cigarette smoke. Speed limit was 55 and there were just a few TV stations they all went off air after Johnny Carson.
Born in 65! No need to be jealous, the 90's had great music artistry too with new genres, bands and styles. Even the 00's had good music up to about 09........
What has the last decade given us? Industry made music , purely for profit ; realiity tv musicians that have the longevity of about a year and awful homemade rap from influencers and TH-cam personalities.
Be glad you were born in the Golden age (1955-2000) of music when everything was beautiful and new.
@@graphite2786 I was born in '65 too. I was gonna post a comment but you pretty much said it all.
Its funny cause I wish I was alive in the 80s

Think about it. Such a change between 1970 and 1973. You can notice the residual 60s folk music feel to the music of the early 70s. I was in high school from 73 to 77 and to me, those years will stick with me most. Thanks for posting.
Jazzman Carole King BRILLIANT!! The 70's ruled with the music... I cannot believe how many GREAT songs came out of this decade?? UNBELIEVABLE!!!

"Freak Out", Chic.
There are so many good songs from the 70s. Hard to include them all!
What about the Village People? My uncle was obsessed with his 8-track of "YMCA" and "In The Navy."
They put it in a other Video.

Sooo true for the 70's as a kid and being a teenager in the 80's have givin songs I didn't like then a second chance. Music for me has been unlistenable since the mid 90's till now.

I definitely appreciated it at the time - it was the soundtrack to my growing up, listening booths, radio, TOTP, cassette recordings off Pick of the Pops (Not arf!) and learning all the lyrics (which I still know). Unbeatable. I’m a ‘58 lad and I totally loved the 70s
Born in 1958. I came of age I the 70's nothing better.✌🌻🌻
Born in -58, I remember all of these songs, had most of them on a cassette, great music. You just have to love the 70's disco and ABBA of course. Happy days !

Very disagreeable. Again what you’re doing is basing your point off of nostalgia and entitlement. And believe or not, there is still soul and emotion in today’s music. But it probably isn’t your taste. It doesn’t mean it’s bad.

You could have included 400 more songs and there would still be plenty of good ones left off of the list.
Ain't That Peculiar by Fanny.
Since 2000 its hard to name one good song.
This is so true.
Well he already left off two 70's classics-Dancing Queen by ABBA and Staying Alive by the Bee Gee's
I made a '70s playlist that's almost SEVEN hundred songs, and there's still stuff left off (but it does have the likes of Bowie, Mannilow, the Bee Gees and Abba among many others). It's called "70s Songs--Chronologically By Year" if you're curious. The '70s were quite a time for music!

Graduated high-school in 1975. The 70's is by far the best decade of music...in my opinion, that is. Lol
Who remembers roller skating ,beach and diso clubs in the 70's with these great hits! Born in 62 this was great music!!
Sneaking into Night clubs under age coz no ID required.
In Arizona the drinking age was 19. Much easier to get into clubs!
oh why are ya'll so old omg. i am a literal kid here
I was born in 72 but remember very well the music of those days and going roller skating etc. In the 70's all the music was good like Rock, heavy rock, Pop even the country in the 70's was good. There was not any music I did not like. Music of 70's and 80's was the best of all times and there will never be good music like in those days.
Born in 1965 I'm definitely a 70's kid But you forgot a lot of great bands.Led Zeppelin,Pink Floyd,Heart,Peter Frampton,Lynyrd Skynyrd,Foghat,Mountain,Kansas ,The Ozarks Mountain,Gary Wright,Argent,Ted Nugent,ZZ Top,Ac DC, Van Halen,Kiss, Todd Rundgren, Jefferson Starship,The Cars,Meatloaf,Joan Jett,Blonde, Climax blues band.

@@jamesstoll9085 nice
Agree on all you listed especially Frampton, if someone grew up in the '70s and never heard Show Me The Way they must not have had a radio.
They showed Meatloaf just the wrong song. 2 The Sweet songs and no Ballroom Blitz?
It’s quite emotional listening to these songs. Bringing back memories of my youth when all was well in my world
We were spoiled rotten. It never occurred to me then that people would increasingly forget how to write songs. We were bombarded constantly with great music, one after another. Now, you have to dig pretty deep to find anything good.
So True
Again, that is just your taste. And there is still mainstream music that is still really good, but again it’s your taste and it doesn’t mean it’s bad. People back then were probably saying the same things about your generation as well, so maybe be careful with what you say because it sounds like you’re also turning spoiled.
@@arturoromero951 Actually, they weren't saying that back then. Mainly, I blame the industry. It's become formulaic and it's run by gatekeepers who've decided on a small handful of formulas they will accept. Sure you can run across a good or even great song every now and then but from the late 1950s through the 1970s, great songs were a dime a dozen. Modern music is pretty pathetic and anemic by comparison.
@@MyXxx77 Not really. While there are many things about it that some might agree on, there are many music industries that want to make sure the artists stand out and many people even challenge or take risks in what they do so that they can form a career or identity for themselves and it can reflect their music that they do. I mean many rappers have challenged their subjects they talk about in their music. And there are still many songs that still creative in what they do as they can experiment with many things besides melody. Sometimes they’ll experiment with lyrics, rhythm or flow. And while you realize that many songs have to have these great qualities, some songs that have great potential sometimes never see the light of day. And some songs that contribute have to have catchiness and also repetition. If it may not be catchy enough, then it won’t captivate some people (even though it’s always not true). And there’s a fine line between being repetitive and not. If it’s too repetitive it can be jarring but if it’s not, then it can be easily forgettable or boring. And most music isn’t for everyone but it mostly works that way. And some people have still made creative and great feats by doing so even today. That’s the most important thing to consider for this. It mostly depends on who works in the industries.
@@arturoromero951 Today, you have 6 producers controlling what gets pop chart airplay. Count how many songs in the top 40 use the I vi IV V progression for instance. It's not that people need to hear that chord progression over and over again. It's that the people who control the industry decided that's people would hear over and over again. They consider it safe, so they demand it (you will always find exceptions but over the past 10 or so years, that has become the accepted "formula"). A similar thing happened in the late 50s when "Doo Wop" became popular and the Doo Wop progression became the formula. A number of great songs were written using that formula but it's grip on the industry didn't last long. listen to some top 20s month by month over the past 60 years and you'll hear what I'm talking about when it come to rich musical diversity. It's why classic reaction videos are such a hit right now. It's as if these people are hearing music for the first time. In most cases, they're really just hearing great music for the first time.
The Seventies were the best! The girls wore tube tops, hot pants and flip flops. They were beautiful...
I had a red tube top :)
Awesome list. Growing up in the U.S. in the 70's, ten of these songs would be Barry Manilow, seven Billy Joel, seven the Eagles, five from Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, five KC and the Sunshine band, five Zeppelin, five Stones, five James Taylor, five Chicago, five the Carpenters... and everybody else would round out the hundred.
Yeah, how could they leave out Manilow? He was all over the charts in the 70's!
Hell Yea!!!
Elton john literally dominated the world from 1970-75
Hey Random Guy.....you forgot Barry Manilow.....he was huge in the 70's.....so incredibly talented.....and gorgeous too......a true superstar......and still is.....he is definitely one of the best performers from that era!! And how about K C & the Sunshine Band too. But I really liked seeing David Cassidy, Andy Gibb & the Bay City Rollers on here.....love them all! Have a great day!! 🙂💚🤗
My teen years were during the 70's and what a great time for all kinds of great music. I still listen to the music of the 70's as it brings me back.
I always feel a hint of sadness with a lot of music from the 70s. I think because that was my childhood and wish I could go back and live it all again, making better decisions in life hopefully.
Still have some of my mixed tapes with 70s, 80s and 90s music. Even have a boom box to play them.
I grew up in 70s Amazing music💝
I'm just 16 and I just love those songs! I feel like I've lived in the 70s. Best decade of music 💗💗
Born in the late 50's, going through the 60's,and 70's is something I wouldn't change for the world.
Yep !
They were the days nothing will ever replace those roaring 70s days wow we all love to love in the 70s lol
Born in the 50's, grew up in the 60's and 70's. I remember all of these songs when they first came out, (WOW) I am getting old, loved them then and still do today, I must like them, I have 99 out of the 100 in my music library. One thing about growing up in that era was ALL THE INCREDIBLE MUSIC we had, songs from the 60's, even the 50's and the 70's. Listening to the radio was awesome, if you found a good station, because they were playing hit after hit, after hit, after hit, after hit all day long, it was GREAT. Thank goodness I have a pretty extensive music library, I would say from 1955 until 1990 I probably have about 97 or 98% of all the Billboard top 100 songs along with MANY others hits that did not reach number one, but were still great songs, so I am very fortunate and blessed that I can listen to all these AWESOME songs anytime I want to.
Right on Greg, you sound alot like me, use to listen to WKBW-am in the 60's, and then in the 70's went over to FM....still have my records....and I especially love the not so great hits, like you say, they played them on the radio, but they weren't top 10, but still great, I notice MusicChoice Cable TV, sometimes plays alot of the lesser known haven't heard in years tunes.....love 'em.
There’s no place like home…. The 70’s!!
Hi Julene, How are you doing?
I was born in 1982 and always say I was born too late. I always listen to the 60s, 70s, and 80s channel in my car. I would rather hear this music than todays. My favorite singer is Elvis Presley
