1. Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin
This song needs no intro................

10. It's Only Rock And Roll by The Rolling Stones
Title says it all.
9. Baba O'Riley by The Who
"It's only teenage wasteland. They're all wasted". Pretty much summed up 1979 for me. Whooo-hoooo.
8. Tie Your Mother Down by Queen
I've seen other Queen songs in other lists, namely "Bohemian Rhapsody". I just liked this one too.
7. Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple
On a lot of other lists, I know. "Burn" is my favorite Purple tune.
6. Money by Pink Floyd
That one little word is the source of my pain.
5. Let It Be by The Beatles
Hard to believe the start of this decade was the end of this band's run. An alien race will discover our planet after were gone, find a dusty copy of the White Album. They'll play it - then have a spasm.
4. Hotel California by Eagles
There is a song on that album (when talking 70's music, I can't say CD) titled "Wasted Time". Very cool song.
3. More Than A Feeling by Boston
The show in Detroit in 1978 was held at the Silverdome. Featured Boston, Eddie Money and Sammy Hagar. Boston had that huge pipe organ that pretty much covered the back stage.
2. Dream On by Aerosmith
Been kind of an anthem for my life. Everytime I've seen something I've wanted and knew it could never be, there was Steven Tyler to remind me.
1. Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin
Too many songs could be mentioned by this band. True icons of rock music. I had tickets to see them in 1979 - show was cancelled for a very sad reason.

10. Trampled Underfoot by Led Zeppelin
This song is like a hip-hop rock song.
9. Hey You by Pink Floyd
Love the guitar solo.
8. Layla by Derek & The Dominos
LAYLA!
7. Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd
One of the best put together songs by Pink Floyd.
6. Hotel California by Eagles
5. Desperado by Eagles
This is an amazing song!
4. Yellow Submerine by Beatles
The Beatles are awesome!
3. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
1 word: INCREDIBLE!
2. Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin
Not a dull moment in this 8-minute song!
1. Us And Them by Pink Floyd
You can listen to it for 12 hours a day and you will never be sick of it.

10. If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot
Amazing lyrics by a masterful storyteller.
9. Day After Day by Badfinger
Just a beautiful song, incredible harmonies and George Harrison playing the guitar leads.
8. Feels Like the First Time by Foreigner
For any male coming of age in the mid to late 70's this is a must...
7. Kashmir by Led Zeppelin
Who didn't get stoned to this one in your friend's basement?
6. Lady by Styx
In my opinion, the first "Power Ballad" back in the days when this group really rocked.
5. Back In The Saddle by Aerosmith
This song just smokes, and I always jack the volume when it comes on.
4. Hotel California by Eagles
First live concert I ever saw. Hands down the best guitar solo at the end of the song.
3. Funeral For A Friend by Elton John
This song defines 70's album-oriented rock.
2. Captain Jack by Billy Joel
What lyrics, what a song !!!
1. More Than A Feeling by Boston
Never was a big Boston fan but this song flows through everyone's veins who grew up during this time.
