This is some good shit. I’m gonna add some other glam-ish early working class rock n roll before there was punk. Some good shit on this Link.

Dream Weaver - preferably with a smoke machine and/or low lighting. Ahh, the 70s - takes me back.

 

[With_David_Bowie]

Does noone remember that Ziggy played guitar?

 

[PapaRomantic]

If I was up for disco, it was Boogie Nights by Heatwave.

Ladies rock - Magic Man by Heart.

Any song from either Leftoverture and Point of Know Return by Kansas.

Good choice.

I could name about 10 Stones songs that would be my favorite.

 

[Champakian]

I have no clear memories of the 70s.
They went by in a blur of drugs, sex, rock 'n roll...

 

[birdman01]

Take It To The Limit by the Eagles

 

[ericalauren]

I like a few songs from the 1970's! My favorite is Baba O'Riley by The Who.

Angel From Montgomery Bonnie Raitt

Don't think that was the 70's but it's a great song

 

[luckylegsat60]

Yes, it is a great song. It was originally released by John Prine in 1971 and Bonnie Raitt recorded it in 1974.

 

[FataMorgana]

Yes, it is a great song. It was originally released by John Prine in 1971 and Bonnie Raitt recorded it in 1974.

I love her later live version of it with Bruce Hornsby and Jackson Browne.
