Superb collection of seventies numbers there, including the odd surprise or two. I thought for example that September Gurls was a Bangles original but obviously not. Consider this video retweeted, it’s excellent.
Have you got any Badfinger in your collection Ross?
glad to see The best band in the history of rock on here…The great. ELO
Well, these types of lists are always tricky to watch and comment on, as there's always going to be controversy about worthy omissions (surely "Bridge Over Troubled Water" over "Keep The Customer Satisfied"? "My Sweet Lord" over "What Is Life"? "Cruel To Be Kind" over "Cracking Up"? "Stop Your Sobbing" over "Brass in Pocket"? "It Don't Come Easy" over "Photograph"?), or head scratching about positions (McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed" so low at No.24). So instead, I'll just mention the nice surprise to see Big Star's "September Girls" with the catchy chorus and Blondie's "Union City Blues" with that wicked intro to the record, make your list – sweet!
Great Choices Ross.
Brilliant Top 3. No arguments there!
No Queen?! :s
It must have been a tough decision to leave out the Eton rifles lol
Cool list there my friend.
Little surprised not seeing Black Sabbath or Deep Purple though.
2 of the best bands of all time.
Thought I'd see Either Highway Star, Child In Time, Fireball or at least Smoke On The Water on here when it comes to DP.
Also At least Children of the grave, War Pigs, Fairies Wear Boots or Iron Man when it comes to BS.
My list would've been totally different than yours, but of course it's all opinion based. So I respect your list none the less.
Take care Ross 🙂
Hey Ross, no shock to me that you really lean heavy toward the last third of the decade in your favorites. I do too. 30 of the 50 come from 77'-79' (14, 1979, and 8 each 1977 and 1978), and that makes sense to me. Much more variety and changes happening in music in the last 3 years of the 70's with punk, post punk, new wave, etc, where everything else prior sort of falls kinda into "classic rock". Well rounded list though, and most of this would be hard pressed not to get consideration for mine.
There are 3 acts here I am not familiar with at all I'll check out. Flamin Groovies, The Undertones and Nick Lowe, but perhaps they were all one hit wonders. I've heard of Nick Lowe but not familiar with any of his work. I've got some research to do.
Very cool video, thanks for sharing.
Some great picks but no Queen, Zep or Stones at all had me a bit sad, as they are the origin or rock.
Other artists that I can think of at the top of my head like Genesis, Black Sabbath, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Bob Dylan & Yes didn’t make it either, which sucks, but it’s hard to restrict a whole decade of music down to just 50 songs.
Regardless, great picks man!
