Man growing up in mid of the most intensive years of music ever (great music on top of that) we drowned in tunes, radio was goin almost 24/7 everywhere
The 70's most fab decade indeed, T Rex, Slade and Sweet my faves. You know I have a theory that once all music was played together e.g Glam, reggea, Rock etc when you went out and on the radio, I reckon it all went pear shaped when folk put all the music in different categories, little boxes, so now with the net folk mostly download and hardly ever hear other types of music. 🌟
You made me giggle quite a few times.😀 Your expressions to some of the more obscure looking groups/artists was funny. Love your channel and it makes a change that you enjoy listening to some of the artists from the 60/70's, and you actually appreciate the music. Thank you. Cheerio from the UK.👍
Some of your expressions cracked me up!!! The Streak was this crazy actual thing that people were doing. There were people running around naked. For real. They called it streaking. Someone would run naked through a shopping center or a football game, or down the street. It was crazy!! I forgot all about that.
Awesome watch Pope!!! Brings back a lot of really great memories I absolutely love your channel keep up the wonderful work. You are very much appreciated. Rock on 🤘 ( die hard Zep fan of 50 years…so far…best band ever…wouldn’t you agree Pope 😎😉) Have a good one!!!
loved the look on your face when you were looking at the streak. People actually did that back then so funny. and the look on your face when Barry White was singing . I just love Barry's music too. His voice did things to a woman's heart.
Ringo Starr's song isn't quite as bad as it seems-he is from the UK where the adult age is when you turn 16 & it was a cover of a song from the early 1960's. The Streak was based on streaking which had become something of a phenomenon in society as a passing fad in the early 1970's.
I noticed you did respond well to a track called I'm not in love by 10cc. I think its what you were referring to at the end.They are a super cool British band, fantastic sound fields, melodies, lyrics and harmonies. The album Deceptive Bends was a prerequisite in any decent record collection! It spawned several global hits. You will enjoy them. Oh, and don't forget Trick of the tail, there's still lots more amazing tracks to hear!
Wow man, what a trip down memory lane! I gotta make a Playlist of these! Really enjoyed your reactions. I definitely encourage you to listen to the full songs especially your faves. Thanks!
What I love about the 70s music is the eclectic mix of well everything it was like the explosion of fashion at the time there was something for anyone who wanted to let their freak flag fly.
I was 18 to 26 when this music played. I was also in Arizona running the 1st Mobile DJ Business here. The only thing is, you have only one of the Genre's playing here. During that time we had a lot of underground radio stations that played the heaver stuff. ie; Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Traffic, etc. Most of the stuff played here was the Top 40 stuff the AM stations would play. Enjoyed this.
OMG Did we have A TIME OR WHAT?? I have danced to probably everything on this list. Underage in a disco. We HAD to dance, we just had to. We went for the music and danced until we dropped. It was all good even the stuff that wasn't.
If you think it’s strange that stuff like “Amazing Grace” played on bagpipes was a hit, well that was how AM radio was back then. You’d hear a rock song one minute, a soul song after that, then something weird like that the next minute. My dad said that even stuff like Ernie from Sesame Street singing “Rubber Duckie” was a hit, and they’d play it on AM radio mixed with all the other more conventional stuff.
How about the 3rd popular songs from the 70's and the second popular from the 60's and 80's. Those songs bring back great memories especially when you were young back then. Such a variety of music that you don't hear these days. Keep it coming P^ope.
Naturally such a list is dominated by Pop, Disco and Glam . Gee, I remember all those Disco songs from my disco days, great fun. I noticed your reaction to "The Streak" and "Disco Duck". They were very much fun songs that caught on. Funny how these songs catch on sometimes, there are others like; "Dead Skunk in the middle of the road" by Loudon Wainwright, "Asshole" by Denis Leary", "Always look on the bright side of Life" by Monty Python from Life of Brain and in Australia we had "Shaddap you face" by Joe Dolce. Really nice to hear T-rex, Slade and Sweet. Many thanks for putting this video up, great memories and fun too.
And that’s the way it was on AM thank God FM came along that’s where you could go and get the long hard rock songs is where I always turned to not the 2-3 minute AM songs that were mostly POP songs not that I didn’t like them I just preferred heavy metal. Thanks for the memories.👍🏼
@@lindakessler8768 I know, right? At 12, in '72, I was listening to AM pop, but by '75, I had made the move to underground FM. The coolest and most adventurous stuff was there. I liked pop, but it only took me so far as a musician and a listener. Our young reactor is drawn to prog, metal, and other genres he is discovering...Much of it never made the top 10 on AM. Pop can be good and fun - of course, then as now there was a lot of dross. While the Casey Kasem thing can be fun, these top hits videos can't really take you into the diversity or depth of the era or really represent the best artists of the time.
I’ve been subscribed to your channel for quite sometime now & I have decided you have the voice of a DJ 👍🏼 The 70’s are/were my favorite years for music hands down!! You gotta check out 10cc “I’m Not In Love” It’s amazing & you won’t believe the sounds you’ll hear ♥️♥️
These were AM radio pop tunes (with disco taking over the 2nd half of the decade). An FM rock chart would give you a completely different list of artists (Led Zep, Stones, Sabbath, Queen, Yes, Boston, ZZ Top, Rush, Styx, Supertramp, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, etc. etc.) There were tons of great music coming out every month imo.
These are actually much better than the number one songs for the most part. I just saw another reactor do those last week. I was missing a lot of my tunes in here they were on this list. I was 13 in 1970 so this is my era.
Popeman, I saw you get thru the longest of songs from my era having to do it on camera. Very different from me taking in the same music as it came out, but, no camera pressure/reaction pressure for sure. So, I know you'd enjoy these songs in full way better than these snippets. They don't do anything for people listening to them for the first time. For me, they serve as a reminder of the songs, which I can appreciate but I doubt you can. And that goes for all my favorite reactors. Do the full songs that way you get a MUCH better understanding of the sound as well as the meanings. Peace.
Well , some good and some not so good. I'm 58 this year , so I heard many of them. I found Zep , Floyd , Skynyrd , Ted and many more...fixed the situation.
Not the 70's I remember. Of course I avoided disco like the plague. Wow that was scary. Notables of course also like Zep,Queen,Neil Young,Billy Preston, Michael Jackson but some really odd ones mixed in. Very interesting.
If you want to see the official US charts, there's a videos titled, Every Billboard Hot 100 Number one single, Ever. The poster also has videos for every Billboard number 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 single, Ever.
That was all AM radio songs. Other than the Guess Who, Led Zeppelin, T-Rex and Sly and the Family Stone the rest was pretty mainstream and lame. FM radio played the "heavier" stuff which is what I was into. I saw Zeppelin live in 1970 when I was 16. That was amazing! Cheers
The SUPER DUPER 7OS WS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME HAPPENING AND A COMING TOGETHER of ALL KINDS OF MUSIC And whatever record you picked up stood a chance to be good to great!!
Got ready to cringe listening to dated 70s pop songs.Then "Whole Lotta Love" comes on and I remember how blown away I was when it came out. And I still love it...
@@richardeast3328 Then your logic is flawed. By your logic I must not love "Whole Lotta Love". And I'm sorry for you, that you think that Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven are dated
There's some great tunes here, a lot not so much, but I'm not mainstream but I was a Teen when this was on the radio. I was into the weirder stuff by '75 (I was 15 by that point)..
Well Ballroom Blitz was in there. That was probably the best song and I don't say that because I played it in a band I just say it because I'm here and happened to have an opinion.
Damn, this was my era and I didn't know half of these bands or songs! But can you imagine Led Zeppelin and the Osmands (morman family values teen idols) were popular at the same time? 😜
The transcendent music that was created in the late 60s and early 70s never really made it to radio, other than a sprinkling of shorter works now and again. It was just as nauseatingly bad then as it is now. Once you get spoiled by truly gifted composers with names like King Crimson or Pink Floyd and songs like "Close to that Edge", "Dinner's Ready", "Colin Firth of Colin Fifth", "Comfortably Dumb" and/or "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gather Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict"...how can you ever go back to: "And they called it puppy love"? Today, there is a tremendous amount of great music being created, but it is almost entirely Indie, and a lot is from L.A. Tame Impala, Fitz & the Tantrums, Strumbellas, Paramore, Portugal: The Man, Of Monsters & Men, Chemical Brothers, Temples, Syd Arthur, Arctic Monkeys, Splashh, MGMT, Lord Huron, Elbow, White Denim, Boxed In, Chalk TV, Yacht, Doves, The War on Drugs, Keane, Borns, Bright Eyes, OK Go, The Nationals, Halsey, Deerhoof, Sleater-Kenney, Houndmouth, Alex Clare, Bleached, The Arcs, Hozier, Bastille, Snarky Puppy, The Mystery Plan, and a few dozen more. Corporate radio has long been a self-serving pretzel of bad taste. Peace on Earth.
Until this very moment, I never knew that this song WASN'T by the BeeGees: ruclips.net/video/6Vf8Vh2voMM/видео.html (They must have contributed background vocals at least. There's no way this isn't them on the track, right!?!?).
Being born in 1962 the 70s was the sound track to my childhood. A real mixed bag of amazing music and some really crap music.....50/50 I'd say. Better than these days where it's about 98/2 in favour of crap music. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
A lot of horrible pop from AM radio but lots of great R&B! We had so many great rock groups ( on FM) but they didn’t make number one a lot. Lots of great disco too.
The entire 2nd half from '75 onwards were almost nothing but bangers. The one with the duck was absolutely hilarious. Thanks for introducing me to so many songs I've heard but never bothered looking up.
I miss the 70.s great music happy days gone forever
"You're 16, you're beautiful and you're mine"... your face 😆😆😂😂. MOSTLY this list was fire 🔥.
Man growing up in mid of the most intensive years of music ever (great music on top of that) we drowned in tunes, radio was goin almost 24/7 everywhere
YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE DANCING
The 70’s music from my youth, feeling nostalgic watching the compilation video, it was fun 👍
The 70's most fab decade indeed, T Rex, Slade and Sweet my faves. You know I have a theory that once all music was played together e.g Glam, reggea, Rock etc when you went out and on the radio, I reckon it all went pear shaped when folk put all the music in different categories, little boxes, so now with the net folk mostly download and hardly ever hear other types of music. 🌟

Music when I was zero to 10 years old...Remember a lot of them. Great beats and lot of love songs!
Oh you young, "whipersnapper". 😀 A lot of them songs remind me of lovely sunny days playing in the back garden or being down on the beach. Happy days.
Some of your expressions cracked me up!!! The Streak was this crazy actual thing that people were doing. There were people running around naked. For real. They called it streaking. Someone would run naked through a shopping center or a football game, or down the street. It was crazy!! I forgot all about that.
Saw that smile when The Floaters came on. One of my favorites to this day. 😍😍
Great reaction, love how you feel the music 🎼 I was born in 73’ I recognized most of these songs!
Awesome watch Pope!!! Brings back a lot of really great memories I absolutely love your channel keep up the wonderful work. You are very much appreciated. Rock on 🤘 ( die hard Zep fan of 50 years…so far…best band ever…wouldn’t you agree Pope 😎😉) Have a good one!!!
Boney M were amazing singers and very underrated back in the day thanks for sharing 💕
loved the look on your face when you were looking at the streak. People actually did that back then so funny. and the look on your face when Barry White was singing . I just love Barry's music too. His voice did things to a woman's heart.
A lot of these 70’s songs are top 40 pop songs. They’re so pop sweet they make my teeth hurt 😀
Love Motown! The background of my High School days!😎👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Good evening Nyco.
Nice trip down memory lane.
I’m sure you got some more ides for reactions.
Ringo Starr's song isn't quite as bad as it seems-he is from the UK where the adult age is when you turn 16 & it was a cover of a song from the early 1960's. The Streak was based on streaking which had become something of a phenomenon in society as a passing fad in the early 1970's.
In the 1960s Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin. Another famous person who got married at age 13, was Loretta Lynn.
Oh those SUPER duper! 70S!!!

So many good memories with these tunes. Wish there was such a thing as time machines.
Tons of excellent music.
You now can see what a wide variety of music we were exposed to on top 40 AM radio. FM didn't start kicking in until the late 70s.
Love this feature! 😎👍
What I love about the 70s music is the eclectic mix of well everything it was like the explosion of fashion at the time there was something for anyone who wanted to let their freak flag fly.
Some of these I had forgotten & need to go on my playlist. Some of them I have never heard & my husband was a rock DJ back then.
I was 18 to 26 when this music played. I was also in Arizona running the 1st Mobile DJ Business here. The only thing is, you have only one of the Genre's playing here.

I was in High School from 1971-1975 then the military. For me the good stuff is after 1975. I didn't realize Donna Summer had so many hits.
And that’s the way it was on AM thank God FM came along that’s where you could go and get the long hard rock songs is where I always turned to not the 2-3 minute AM songs that were mostly POP songs not that I didn’t like them I just preferred heavy metal. Thanks for the memories.👍🏼
Yep. The real decade happened underneath the pop. I remember everything here. Couldn't miss it.
That's why I didn't know half the bands...we ONLY listened to FM! 😎

I was born in 69 a lot of these songs bring back memories of my childhood riding in the car with my parents going to grandmas house
Nice to see Kiss here. Can't deny that song is catchy!

Guys, watch "Hittsville: The Making of Motown" on Prime video a couple more days. It's SO GOOD!

Listen again to 10cc I'm not in Loves introduction through your headphones closely it is AWESOME.Thank-u 4 the content it was way cool.
The 'If I can't Have You' singer, Yvonne Elliman, played Mary Magdalene in the movie 'Jesus Christ Superstar'.
Not the 70's I remember. Of course I avoided disco like the plague. Wow that was scary. Notables of course also like Zep,Queen,Neil Young,Billy Preston, Michael Jackson but some really odd ones mixed in. Very interesting.
Michael Jackson's ballad Ben is a song about a rat, from the movie, 'Ben.'
I grew up in this era, this has to be the European top charts. I hope they do one for the US.
If you want to see the official US charts, there's a videos titled, Every Billboard Hot 100 Number one single, Ever. The poster also has videos for every Billboard number 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 single, Ever.
Hi sweetheart I'm here on a Saturday morning...
hope your day is well 🙏🏿
Such aa great decade to grow up in even though some of the songs were a bit cheesy and cringe worthy lol
70's rock was popular when I went to high school in the 90's. ☺
That was all AM radio songs. Other than the Guess Who, Led Zeppelin, T-Rex and Sly and the Family Stone the rest was pretty mainstream and lame. FM radio played the "heavier" stuff which is what I was into. I saw Zeppelin live in 1970 when I was 16. That was amazing! Cheers
I think I need to listen to some Donna Summer now. ✌🏽
Lol! Most of these were not played on the station I listened to, KISW.
As a guy who grew up in the 70's - a lot of those were pretty lame. Some were good memories - My favs are Sly and the Family Stone and Otis Redding

So dated songs are not so good, then Bach, Mozart and Beethoven must be awful to your ears, them being so dated.

This old Aussie noticed that you looked a bit puzzled by "Disco Duck" I think it made no2 in that month is because it's totally different & fun.
According to who's chart? Many of these songs were #1 on the Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart! This video must be covering the British charts.

A lot of these songs were big in the UK but not in the USA.
Man, why were you so quiet this time? LOL
Just by watching your face l can tell you like about as many of these tunes as l do 😛
please return the video of the 2nd most popular songs each month in the 80s
this list is better than the best songs

I prefer the 70s UK charts.
That was a lot of Disco! Yuk! A lot of the artist hated doing disco...it payed the bills for them!
The 70s started off so well Till the Disco thing came lol
A lot of horrible pop from AM radio but lots of great R&B! We had so many great rock groups ( on FM) but they didn’t make number one a lot. Lots of great disco too.
The 70s had a lot of great songs in many different genres.... but the top of the charts were a mixed bag...a lot of schleppy crap was on the radio.
I GREW UP DURING THIS TIME... MANY WERE GOOD... SOME WERE CRINGE WORTHY

You don't like the Beatles or Paul McCartney because everytime the come òn screen you clasps your hands together
Please. Never heard half of these songs . And the rest were probably in 12th place. Not true characteristics of the 70's.
These are actually very representative of the 70’s especially if you listened to mostly AM radio.
The entire 2nd half from '75 onwards were almost nothing but bangers. The one with the duck was absolutely hilarious.
Thanks for introducing me to so many songs I've heard but never bothered looking up.
