So many I recall tied to specific wonderful memories from my Army Dad’s career early 70’s from his 8-Track and album collections as my family drove us around the country to visit relatives nowhere near our current Army assignments. Several on a tape that came with a new Buick he bought simply titled Buick. Such wonderful memories and such incredible music. We were blessed to grow up in those times and why we will fight so hard to protect what they gave us as this current mess tries to destruct what they delivered to us to preserve. I’d rather leave this world fighting to leave the same to our kids versus handing it over to them to further destroy.

Was a young boy in the early seventies and can vividly remember my mother asking me to play these songs on the eight track while she played canasta on Friday and Saturday nights with her friends. It was a great time to be a kid. My love of all music comes from those times. This was a great trip down memory lane! Thanks for posting it!
reply

I used to keep this heavy transistor radio made of metal under my pillow and go to sleep listening to these great songs.
The great thing about those times were that no one thought of race, gender or anything else.
It was just good fun music.
I miss that world.

In 1974, I became the devil incarnate. Yup! _I turned from a loving kid into a_ Testosterone Fueled TEENAGER! ; -.
But damn. The music was so good and so, so diverse. Almost every genre you could think of was on the airways in '74. 8-.

reply

Kung Fu fighting was one of my favorite songs of that yr 1974. Reminds me of that summer, when we lived at 611 S Prince St. Lancaster, Pa. We lived with mom, listening to it 8/30/22. 7: 21am.
reply

And to think that in 50 years there’s going to be a best music of 2022 where today’s youth will be middle aged, reminiscing about their good times. Ahhhh, life.
reply

As good as Elton John is I can't honestly say his rendition of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is anygood. It certainly isn't as good as the Beatles Original.
reply

If your gonna put sweet rubettes mud bay city rollers and showaddywaddy on this list surely you must add the excellent angel face from THE GLITTER BAND
reply

I remember being in a bar when someone played Billy Don't be a Hero SIX Times in a row! Man, I came to really hate that song after that experience!
reply

Tubular Bells was truly innovative and stands out from all this commercial junk. Other things are also good, but artistically without relevance.
reply

Always cracked me up when Helen Reddy sang I am strong, I am invincible! I am Woman!
yet her next song was That's no way to treat a Lady

reply

Everything I Own was released written and released by Bread (David Gates) in 1972. Ken Boothe's cover in 74 wasn't a 'best' by any definition.
reply

Truly the best time for music! Awesome musicians where their music actually had meaning! Thanks for bringing me back to a happy place.
reply

No wonder I've loved music so much. I was born in 74 so I was carried around listening to this for 9 months. Thanks mom and dad.
reply

Alvin Sardust at 3: 15. Tell me that's a wig he's wearing in that clip. Some hair in the mid 70s. I was born in 74.
reply

11: 14 I would have put Boogie On Reggae Woman ahead of this song, which shows what a masterstroke the album was
reply

The music blockers are always out there. They think they're protecting their brand when the opposite is true.
reply

I remember 1974 quite vividly and I sure as hell don't remember the Rubettes. and they're listed three times
reply

This was the year when the 70s kicked in and solidified the decade of AM gold. It was never ending. So good
reply

I think missing here might be The Man With The Golden Gun by Lulu from the Bond film of the same name.
reply
