What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s?


As many agree the 1970’s had the best pop music of any recorded era, I thought it would be very interesting to see what Audiogon members have to say about this. I know 5 is tough but I did not want to make this post too long winded. As always I appreciate your time and selections. My top 5 are...


#1 Baker Street-Gerry Rafferty 1978 #2
#2 Summer Breeze-Seals & Crofts. 1972 #6
#3 American Pie-Don Mclean. 1972 #1
#4 Ricki Don’t Lose That Number. 1974 #4
#5 Miracles-Jefferson Starship. 1975 #3

Yes there are many great songs I could have placed here but this is my list for 8/18/21. Look forward to your responses!

Hey Mitchagain...So true, they don't meet the Billboard criteria, but nice eclectic mix:
Five stars for Southerland Bros & Quiver; Steely Dan; Ian Gomm and Rare Earth.
Artemus...I remember "Sausalito" very well...1980 or 81?  Liked it.  Also remember I didn't like the other LP tracks.  Oh well.
McKinney Mike...A long shot, or maybe just a lot of Mike McKinneys out there, but did you by any chance once live in Northern Virginia and work for the Feds, circa 1979-83?
Hey edcyn...So the Harris movie I was looking for was "A Man Called Horse."  And I'm with you on the Eagles.  You can throw in Boston, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Styx, et al, for the same "Classic Rock Ad Nauseum" reason.
Hey Speakermaster...Steve Miller Circle Of Love LP ("Heart Like A Wheel") was an 80's (1981?) release.  Sorry.
