Boardsies Best Song of the 70s - Live Thread

This is bullsh1t. Hotel California is by far the best song of the 70s and one of the best of all time. Where did it even finish I can’t be arsed reading back through the pages??

Great competition. I missed out on the later stages but it was fun to read. I liked all the semi-finalists except for Don’t Stop Me Now which irritates me!

Bohemian Rhapsody is a great song. That said, there are other songs by Queen I would have preferred, and I might have picked Space Oddity- not sure, tough choice.

It is interesting the ones that no-one nominated: other songs by 10cc, ANY songs by Hot Chocolate, Mud (Tiger Feet for example), other songs by various members of The Osmond family (I nominated Crazy Horses by The Osmonds and that was the only one!), more soul music, more Earth Wind & Fire, La Freak by Chic, more David Bowie, The Stranglers, The Jam and Do What You Wanna Do by Eddie & The Hot Rods.

Another major omission was Rod Stewart. He had a tonne of hits in the 1970s.

These were my nominations:
Crazy Horses by The Osmonds
Roll Over Lay Down by Status Quo
Hold Your Head High by Argent
My Forbidden Lover by Chic
London Calling by The Clash
Heroes by David Bowie
Take Me to The River by Talking Heads
Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) by Edison Lighthouse
Young Hearts Run Free by Candy Staton
One of These Nights by The Eagles

Most of them were only nominated by me!

One song that I meant to nominate and then forgot about was Mary of the Fourth Form by The Boomtown Rats!
