9. Blow Away by George Harrison
Son las 10 de la noche a media semana, todo esta oscuro y la radio AM deja oir la voz del Beatle callado en el programa "La Hora Internacional"
8. Poor Poor Pitiful Me by Linda Ronstadt
Hubo un tiempo en que Linda era la reina
7. Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac
Se nota el resentimiento de Buckingham en cada frase de la cancion y reemata todo con un espectacular solo de guitarra
6. I Want You To Want Me by Cheap Trick
Probablemente, el mejor disco "en vivo" de esa decada es "At Budokan"
5. Time by Pink Floyd
Ese tick tack es inconfundible
4. Rockabilly Rebel by Matchbox
No sabia que eran ingleses hasta hace poco, pero todo el lp no tiene desperdicio. Lastima que no se encuentre en cd...

El primer album de Lennon que compre

La version completa es hipnotica
1. Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) by The Hollies
En 1978 en Mazatlan habia un programa en la radio "Disco Club, La hora del estudiante" y esta cancion era parte de su sintonia. El locutor era Luis Navarro.

6. Dust In The Wind by Kansas
A great ballad with great rhythm guitar. Who doesn't know all the lyrics to this song?

A great example of 70's all-electronic music. A sureal "space" sound with clever lyrics. A great example of how diverse music was in the 70's.
4. The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot
What a great tune! Smooth rock with a bit of soul. Great lyrics to sing to.
3. Nights In White Satin by Moody Blues
Lush and powerful. Some may say it's a bit overblown. Nobody can deny it was one of the greatest tunes of the 70's.
2. Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin
Doesn't everyone have this on their list? Simply a huge classic 70's tune.
1. I'm Not In Love by 10cc
Don't know why I've made this my number one, it's just the first song I think of when I think of the best of 70's music.
