The 1970s was an interesting decade. Fashion was absolutely horrible, a president actually resigned, and music was all over the board, with disco threatening to set back musical progress to the Stone Age.
It’s taken me awhile to truly appreciate any music that came out of the ’70s. I recently set out to compile a Super Seventies Songs playlist and thought I could find 100 songs with which to fill it. So far, I have 91. What nine would you add to this mix?
