ryansgirl319 Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 I am making a CD of various Rock songs from the 70s, and I need one song from 1972 and one song from 1979 to complete my list. The CD has no particular theme, other than I like these songs. Here is what I have so far: Mama Told Me Not to Come-Three Dog Night Come and Get It-Badfinger Day After Day-Badfinger Bang A Gong (Get It On)-T Rex Walk on the Wild Side-Lou Reed Cover of the Rolling Stone-Dr Hook Stuck in the Middle With You-Stealer's Wheel Black Water-The Doobie Brothers Jackie Blue-Ozark Mountain Daredevils Fox on the Run-Sweet Born to Run-Bruce Springsteen Carry On Wayward Son-Kansas Don?t Fear the Reaper-BOC Dust in the Wind-Kansas I Want You to Want Me-Cheap Trick Beast of Burden-Stones Hot Child in the City-Nick Gilder Cruel to Be Kind-Nick Lowe If any one can suggest songs similar to these from 1972 and 1979 I would appreciate it .

Harguitay Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 You picked the wrong place at the wrong time for music. The vacuous years of the 70's remain the dead years for rock and roll. Good luck, and remember that any suggestions have caveats.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 '79 was lean, but you can't miss with Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endymion Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 1972: Rock'n'Roll Suicide - David Bowie Or Moonage Daydream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endymion Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 It looks like Led Zeppelin's 'Black Dog' was also released in 1972, that's a rocker. For 1979, I'd pick 'Sultans Of Swing' and 'Highway To Hell'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia43631 Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 When you talk about great music from the 70's/80'S, you can't forget the best "melodic" bands with the most powerful voices and musicianship. FOREIGNER(LOU GRAMM), STYX(DENNIS DEYOUNG), SURVIVOR(JIMI JAMESON), JOURNEY(STEVE PERRY), LITTLE RIVER BAND(GLENN SHRROCK), AND PLAYER(PETER BECKETT ). God bless these bands that make you remember there was a time when words had meaning and you could understand them, there was such a thing as "melody" and they actually played their own instruments and wrote their own songs. That was talent!! That was when they didn't record "junk" just to make a buck. The 70's were very much alive and remain "CLASSICS" today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 You picked the wrong place at the wrong time for music. The vacuous years of the 70's remain the dead years for rock and roll. Good luck, and remember that any suggestions have caveats.... I kind of half agree with you, as I think rock's best years were 67-77. So I agree with you on the 77-79 part, that's when things started looking bad for rock, in my opinion. But I think that 72-77 were really good years for rock. For 79, some suggestions are: Pink Floyd - another brick in the wall part 2 Pink Floyd - comfortably numb AC/DC - Highway to Hell The Clash - London Calling For 1972: Elton John - Crocodile Rock Yes - Roundabout Yes - And You And I Yes - Close to the Edge Black Sabbath - Iron Man Elton John - Rocket Man Alice Cooper - School's Out Alice Cooper - Public Animal #9 Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water David Bowie - Suffragette City Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick T Rex - Metal Guru Blue Oyster Cult - Cities on flame with rock and roll Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the end of the greatest period of rock, but no less substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
