In the mood for some classic tunes from the 1970s? A lot of music from that era has been lost to time, while others still appeal to young audiences in the 2020s. And some of these classic tunes from the 1970s will be in my regular rotation until I\u2019m well past 90 years old or on death\u2019s door. Let\u2019s take a quick look at my top picks, shall we?<\/p>\n

\u201cLife On Mars?\u201d by David Bowie<\/p>\n

David Bowie pumped out hits in the 1970s like there was no tomorrow. A ton of music from the Starman himself could have made it to this list. However, I have a soft spot for \u201cLife On Mars?\u201d from the 1971 album Hunky Dory. It was the first song I listened to after I heard of David Bowie\u2019s death back in 2016. It\u2019s a beautiful, ethereal, hopeful, yet existential song. Nobody was doing glam rock quite like Bowie was.<\/p>\n

\u201cSilver Springs\u201d by Fleetwood Mac<\/p>\n

I will never understand how the rest of Fleetwood Mac<\/a> didn\u2019t vote to include this wonder on Rumours back in 1977. This is one of Stevie Nicks\u2019 greatest songwriting efforts, and one of the finest songs of her career. No song out there is less-suited for a B-side than \u201cSilver Springs\u201d, in my opinion. Not only should this have made it to the original run of Rumours, but it should have been a single. And you just can\u2019t beat that live version of the song, which I\u2019ve conveniently embedded above for your enjoyment. Goosebumps, each and every time.<\/p>\n

\u201cLes Fleurs\u201d by Minnie Riperton<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got so much love for soul crooner Minnie Riperton. And while \u201cLovin\u2019 You\u201d is an amazing tune, I\u2019ll never stop listening to \u201cLes Fleur\u201d. Someone explain to me how this song didn\u2019t chart, please. It\u2019s just so good, with almost operatic elements that just make it even better. If you\u2019ve never given this 1970 track from Come To My Garden a spin, go ahead and put on some headphones. I\u2019m a little jealous that you get to experience it for the first time, honestly. This is by far my favorite of all classic tunes from the 1970s.<\/p>\n
