1970s Soft Rock Playlist (1 Viewer)

70s soft rock was never my thing but over the last 10 years I’ve really come to appreciate it.

Same.   The songs take me back to my childhood which was good but not great.   Reminds me of being in the car with my family and these songs playing on the radio.   Maybe because it feels like forever ago and yesterday as well?  Scary how quickly those decades have gone by.

Good call. Their best song IMO The Night Owls just misses the thread, having been released in 1981. Produced by the one and only George Martin.

Yep, I stopped at 1979, but they had a few gems in the early 80's as well, The Night Owls of course being one of them.  I am partial to It's a Long Way There as far as being their best, but you can't go wrong with either. :hifive:

 
Great walk down memory lane in this thread.  Many of these songs still bring back vivid memories of how we felt as kids growing up in the 70s.  Sharing a room with my big sister who played the Monkeys and Elton John (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album) to death.  Elton could have his own album side in this thread, btw. 

First girlfriends, the one that got away (Jesse's Girl (1981) was a girl in my class that was dating my teammate (football)).  They ended up marrying but it led to a bitter divorce.  I still wonder "what if" sometimes with her.  

Another that reminded me of an early love as a freshman in HS... Kiss on My List - Hall and Oats 1980.  Love this genre.  

 
Boz Scaggs - JoJo
Gordon Lightfoot - Beautiful
Jim Croce - I got a name
Wings-Goodnight Tonight - This is such an amazing song really, so many moving parts, the intro is amazing, the bass, dueling solo's in the middle, it's like a swiss watch it's so precise, complex yet simple at the same time.  I'm not a big Paul McCartney fan but I think he did some of his best work in Wings.
The Babys - Isn't it Time
Ace - How Long - Freaking Paul Carrack
Robert Palmer - Every Kinda People
Billy Joel - Rosalinda's Eyes - I really don't care for 90% of Billy Joel's songs but by God he hooked me on this one! :)

This one hit wonder from 1978 just popped into my head for no reason a couple of days ago. 3 of these guys went on to form Night Ranger. Anyone else remember it?

AXS tv did a segment on The Carpenters one day last week and I caught most of it.  Karen had one of the greatest voices ever.  So beautiful and distinct.

There's been a million music stars that fall under the "Lost too soon" moniker. For me, there's no one comes even close to this woman and her voice. Richard had a lot to do with how ithe end product sounded to us. I've heard other singers he produced, and I can kind of see where Karen may or may not have been the grab-your-heart-with-a-thermonuclear-kung-fu-vice-grip that she was if she'd come along without him. But either way she's in my flip-able top three all time female vocalists.

Let Your Love Flow - Bellamy Brothers

Lido Shuffle - Boz Scaggs

Love Will Keep Us Together - Captain & Tennille
