• 10. Epitaph by King Crimson
  Think this song came out '69 but for this sake it'll make it into the 70's...
• 9. Blinded By The Light by ELO
  Soooooo amazing, I love it. Chill song.

  Best band ever to come out of Australia next to Skyhooks and Aussie Crawl, lyrically about the Vietnam soldiers who came back into society and were treated like crap and ignored basically. Very beautifully musically written with a nice piano intro.
• 7. Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits
  Simply amazing.
• 6. Sweet Talkin' Woman by ELO
  One of the best bands of the 70's, haha just absolutely love 'em, even when Lynne was in "the idle race".

  One of the nicest songs ever, not to mention probably one of the best guitar solos ever that psyches me up so good.
• 4. Free Money by Patti Smith
  My fav song from her. Awesome ending.
• 3. Get Thy Bearings by Donovan
  Love this song...everyone needs to hear it. Real nice slow chill tune.
• 2. Rock 'N' Roll Suicide by David Bowie
  One of Bowie's best songs ever, awesome lyrics, brilliant acoustic in it. Chill as well. Love it.
