Jim Croce passed away 49 years ago today in 1973.

11. Paul McCartney & Wings “Band On The Run” (from Band On The Run)

After “Maybe I’m Amazed”, this was probably Sir Paul’s finest post- Beatles moment. I’ve always loved the lead guitar fills on this, starting with the second chorus.

10. Marvin Gaye “Let’s Get It On” (from Let’s Get It On)

Our top 10 begins with this classic by Marvin Gaye, which many, many people regard as his greatest song and one of the top tunes of the early 70s period. Personally I prefer a couple of things from What’s Going On but I wouldn’t quibble with anyone who wants to rank this even higher.

Indeed it is Sembello.One of the most important and powerful songs of its time - or any time. Brilliance.14. Stevie Wonder “Living For The City” (from Innervisions)
Stevie Wonder - Living For The City (1974) | LIVE
To watch the whole gig just use the Playlist "Beat-Workshop - Stevie Wonder | 1974" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQSFwAoVrj-0AxjUl-6crruQMisG34QlWH...youtu.be
Stevie Wonder’s most political statement song is also one of his very best. This guy was simply one of rock music’s greatest composers (amd performers as can be seen by the live version linked.)
That West German Musikladen audience in the clip above didn't know what hit them. ETA: IIRC, that is Michael Sembello (who hit it big several years later with "Maniac") on guitar/keyboards.
One of Stevie’s backup singers at this gig was Deniese Williams, who hit it big several years later with “Let’s Hear it for the Boy.”

17. Steve Miller Band “The Joker” (from The Joker)
Steve Miller Band - The Joker (Official Music Video)
Steve Miller Band “The Joker” official video. “The Joker” appears on 'J50: The Evolution of The Joker,’ the 50th anniversary box set of the chart-topping, RI...
Prior to this song, Steve Miller had a really good blues band, with a strong local following and some good songs that rarely got on the radio, like”Space Cowboy” (which he references here.) Then along came this hit and everything changed; they became one of the biggest bands of the mid 70s.
“The Joker” is evocative to me of my teenage years, particularly the beach during the summer months.
Love Steve Miller, but I don't like much of what he did after the Anthology album.

I am way behind again.
Living for the City is awesome, and it's the song that really made me dig into Stevie's 70s material. I remember seeing a live version of it that VH1 played in the late 90s (seemed like it was live, but in a studio) that floored me. A timeless classic.
Drift Away is a fun little tune.
Over the Hills and Far Away and The Rain Song are both in my LZ top 5 on most days, and the former is often number 1. The atmosphere in the latter is unreal.
Band on the Run is always good, though I rarely seek it out anymore.
Marvin Gaye is still on my long list of artists I need to dig deeper into some day.

Damn.
I don't like to criticize these lists, because I think they're one of the best things on the forum, and I know tim puts so much work into them, which I appreciate.
I've no idea what might be in #1-8, and they could be incredible. To me this seems like the best year yet.
But, but, but...
I love The Rain Song. However, putting LZ's 20th best song (or 10th or 30th, whatever you think) above the #1 song by Stevie Wonder EVER??? And above a top three Marvin Gaye song? Yeah...I'm not OK with this.
@Uruk-Hai , please help me here.
ETA: I see it was 17th in the official LZ ranking thread. That seems about right. So 17th LZ > 1st Stevie Wonder or >3rd Marvin Gaye? No. Good god no.

I welcome your criticism. Love it when you post.
I don’t think of it in those terms. But If I did, I would argue that “The Rain Song” is not #20 for LZ and “Lining For the City” is not #1 for Stevie Wonder. But again I don’t think of it that way. I look at the songs of the year in question and compare them to each other the best I can. Honestly the top 25 is extremely subjective and very interchangeable.

A pop masterpiece. Roberta Flack’s vocals are pitch perfect, and she is joined here by some of the best jazz musicians of the time. The result is…..never mind I won’t say it. But it’s really really good.

6. The Who “Love, Reign O’er Me” (from Quadrophenia)
Roger Daltry is at his absolute peak here; I would put up his vocals on this song against just about any rock tune I can think of; they’re that good. It’s of course easier to sing well when you’ve got such a great song to work with.
On a side note this tune always makes me think of Wikkidpissah whom so many here, including me, miss so much. This was a very important song for him as he used it as a tribute to the love of his life, his late wife.

I will be nice about it, but I have long been in the "I don't get it" camp when it comes to the mad love for Won't Get Fooled Again. It doesn't help that the pulsating synth that drives most of the song gets on my nerves more days than not, but it has never felt like this super awesome classic that seemingly everyone else makes it out to be. I am probably on an island on this one, and that is fine.

So as I referenced earlier, I have “Brain Damage”in my top tier of Pink Floyd songs along with “Comfortably Numb” and “Wish You Were Here”. Like “Wish You Were Here” and “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”, “Brain Damage” is apparently about Syd Barrett.
I added “Eclipse” because like so many others that’s how I always listened to them. But “Eclipse” isn’t necessary for the ranking; “Brain Damage” by itself would still come in at #5.

I’m not a big fan of Who’s Next, largely because of the sound. It sounds more polished than their raw, earlier material, but Keith Moon sounds completely emasculated.
