I read that 1970 was a decisive decade, the sending of American culture in a new direction. The decade began with the "Smiley Face" stickers and bubblegum music, and moved from there in different directions. Some of my favorite songs of this decade:

1) "Popcorn" -

The music of the song was played on Moog synthesizer, an instrument, 60 years, was popular in the late. "He seemed composed by Gershon Kingsley and first in 1969, although the band "Hot Butter" that finally made a success in 1972. "Hot Butter" was usually only at the Free Stan Synthesizer. I liked it because it really sounds like popcorn, is catchy and fun.

2) "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" -

Originally a South African Zulu folk song and was a success in the U.S. since Tokens in 1961. It 'was in 1972 by Robert John, who loved the best version I've updated. It 'was a real> Hit in South Africa when it recorded by Solomon Linda in 1939, had written to the cows on experience chasing lions, the family were his stalking. This is a catchy song, although some of the words can be confusing for some people.

3) "Stairway to Heaven" -

Song by Led Zeppelin from the 1971 campaign, was a favorite of everyone in my school. In fact, it was the most requested song ever on FM stations, as well as sheet rock and popular music moreRoll, selling over a million copies. It was written by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page and is eight minutes. It was never released as a single.

4) "Lady Marmalade" -

This was a song about a prostitute in New Orleans in French
Quarter (red light district), and was recorded by Patti Labelle in 1974. It was written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan and became their biggest hit. I could not understand the words, but I was excited to be able to understand much,French Ones "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? (I want to sleep with me tonight?)"

5) "I am a woman" -

This song appeared 1972nd Helen Reddy and Ray Burton wrote lyrics changed some of them to fit into the music he wrote for her. Both were Australian. Feminism was in the "70 is great and this was one of the leading feminist anthems. I found affirming and exciting.

6) "Riders on the Storm" -

This song, from 1971, Jim Morrison was amended,shortly before his death. The effect of rain in this song was from the E-Plan. I think the only plan was the best part of the whole piece, but has been partially cut to shorten the song on AM radio. This is my favorite song of all time.

1970's were good years for music. There was a lot of variety, everything from disco to protest songs, and feminist, and darker, "adult" songs. . There was music to satisfy everyone. It 's a pity that thisMore music is no longer there, except for the really big hits. Many lesser-known 1970's music would be great to hear again.
