Maybe that that song is overrated and a tad racist? And this is coming from someone who generally loves Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I'm more surprised that Freebird didn't make the list. I had forgotten about it, but I still wouldn't of nominated it, I couldn't even get to Stairway to Heaven.

That's true. But for this I voted differently. Basically each of my votes this time was for individual songs that best represented the 70's, not so much my favorite songs. I basically have a song from each of my favorite "supergroups" an R&B, a southern rock, a disco, and so forth. Something to represent all the important styles & genres and artists of the 70's.

I mostly agree Lucky. This is different from the weekly top tens. I view the decades' vote like a curator of a museum would want to pass on generational knowledge about music (i.e.) mostly objectively with minimal subjective responses.

How do you feel these noms reflect the overall feel & jive of the '70s
