He pretty much nailed it, but yea other songs could justifiably be put in the top 10 like More Than A Feeling, My Sharona, Do You Feel Like We Do, Money and many more !
Free Bird still my favorite over 50 yrs later!!!! Was a kid and remember all these songs coming out!!!!! 70s n 80s are my favorite decades in life n music!!!!!
I grew up with Led Zepplin. My brother was 2 and 1/2 years older than me and loved them. He still does. I graduated from high school in 75. Great time to be a teenager😊
Led Zeppelin's run as a band perfectly tracked my school age childhood. I was in first grade when their first album was released. I graduated weeks before John Bonham died. I can legitimately say that I grew up with Led Zeppelin! 👍👍They provided my "soundtrack"!
That's a very good list! I can think of ZZ Top/La Grange, Fleetwood Mac The Chain, Born To Run, Bat Out Of Hell, and Voodoo Chile ( which sort of was 1970 ) but I think you've got all of the big names I'd have in there!
Being a Led Zepplin fan, I am chuffed that you put them number 1 for Stairway to Heaven. There are so many great hits from back then though. Someone mentioned Boston’s “More than a feeling”. Great song! I really think that music peaked then.
So many to name…Crazy on you ( Heart), Gimme Shelter (Rolling Stones), Renegade, Blue Collar Man, Fooling Yourself (Styx), Ramble on (Led Zeppelin), Carry on my Wayward Son and Dust in the wind ( Kansas), American Woman,….so many great songs!
To have a comprehensive List,make it at least 100.A few that the songs are often not covered.Foghat=slow ride,Sweet love is like oxygen extended version,Foreigner double vision,Kansas = carry on wayward.I will keep it short.Agree Boston's more than a feeling is Strong!

I am thinking that no other generation but ours can claim that we were there when it all happened live. Our generation of the 70's are going through our twilight years now and after we are gone, there will be no more. Any memories of our music will have to be pulled from the archives for future generations to see and hear.
@@LoriR-yk9qv my boyfriend, couple years later my husband, he love Pink Floyd, and then my son was born in 83, and he became a teenager, and he loved Pink Floyd, so I heard them most of my life, 🫶✌️
Finally, it is a 1970s top ten that actually makes sense and is 100% correct. Pitty The Sweet doesn't feature in their with ballroom blitz or fox on the run😊
If I wanted mellow I listened to Fleetwood Mac if something a little stronger REO Speedwagon. Still listen to them you always like what was popular when you were a teenager.
Wow! Hablar de ac/dc es recordar a esos grandes del hard rock como Motorhead, Scorpions en Europa pero también recordar en América a Kiss o Aerosmith no podían faltar Black Sabbath, Deep Purple y Led Zeppelin.

Those are all great selections, though I wouldn't put them all in the same order you did. Also, I would replace "Baba O'Riley" with "Won't Get Fooled Again".

Been on that shit of a highway more times than I can care to remember. Doesn't matter which direction you travel you'll get every amber light. Thankfully, since retirement, I rarely travel on it.
The list highlights the contributions from Britain, seven out of ten, including all of the top five. Not bad from a small group of islands off the European coast.
No. 1 and No. 2 are wrong way round! 🤬 Back in the 70's a Sheffield music shop banned people from playing both Smoke On The Water and Stairway To Heaven, anyone who tried got fined!!
Should be on the list, though it's hard to argue that it should supplant "Stairway to Heaven". And I say this as someone who still loves it when "Dream On" comes on the radio (I'm an old guy----I still listen to the radio in the car), and won't mind if I never hear "Stairway to Heaven" again.
For you from all the later generations that dig Led Zeppelin i highly recommend you check out the "The Song Remains The Same" its a video taken from a 1974 live show at New Yorks Madison Square Garden .Use to Be A Midnight Movie at Movie Theaters every Friday and Saturday Nights all around the country from 1977-1980 .it totally Jams and sure its here on RUclips so next time you got a hour and a half to definitely go check that out .Other Midnight Movies from this time was Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall .Heavy Metal and Rocky Horror Picture Show (not a big fan of this this one) but all these are definitely worth checking them out .Both the Pink Floyd Movies were part of Lazer Light Shows that would also be every late night weekends at all the Plantetarum's across the country all through the summers .the late 1970s and early 1980s were incredible experiences musicly speaking

Great music, better than the music of today.

A beautiful reminder what music was in the 70's. so many outstanding performers/performances. It's really hard to pick just one.
When music was music.

The 70s has produce a lot of great tunes. So many tunes that I can't name one.
I know it’s not as popular but More Than A Feeling by Boston is my fav. Also love Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith. But this as a fun list!
I loved the band and song. Saw them in concert in 75.

Saw all these band except the Stones. 70's were awesome.
That's a very good list!
I can think of ZZ Top/La Grange, Fleetwood Mac The Chain, Born To Run, Bat Out Of Hell, and Voodoo Chile ( which sort of was 1970 ) but I think you've got all of the big names I'd have in there!
The Stroke, New York Groove, Knights in White Satin, are just a few that comes to mind quickly.
Kiss. Rock n roll all. Ight
Boston. More than a feeling
Kansas. carry on wayward son

BLACK SABBATH ! ALL THE MUSIC HERE ABSOLUTELY TIMELESS !!
Let it Grow Eric Clapton - one of my favorites! 1974
I’m so old, I saw everyone at least once in concert some of them several times 😊😊☮️☮️
Stairway to Heaven has been #1 more than once.
Me too. I guess we’re both pretty old. Good for us!
Always loved the kick-in of Bonham's drums, then later how he timed with Page. I'm no musician, those hooks just stood out.
We are an American band, grand funk railroad.
Simple man Lynyrd Skynyrd
equally good as free bird 100% agree
Love Freebird

It’s just the whole decades of 60s 70s and 80s…. Great time for real music by real musicians ON REAL INSTRUMENTS

Strangly, for me Deep Purple is Child in Time. I know it's a cover, but what a song!
In 70s Led Zepp Band was my favorite band
well done excellent list! Amazing how you did it
I really thought “ The Chain” or “ Go your own way” would be on this list .I think “ Barracuda” should be there too!
Not rock

Four top hits alone in the year 1974 with the word "Rock" in the title of each song!!
Boston..."More Than a Feeling, Fleetwood Mac..."Go Your Own Way and "Gold Dust Woman"...The Doors..."The Drive"...The Guess Who..."Those Eyes.
Good songs, but I'm sure something in this list could make way for "More Than a Feeling" - Boston.
Meh...
More than a feeling? At the expense of what? Bohemian Rhapsody? Paranoid? Freebird?
many more to go mate
I gotta say the guitar's were in incredible in Boston.
Dust in the Wind, by Kansas, and Long Time, by Boston.
can't believe Springsteen's born to run didn't make this list
Allman Bros., Molly Hatchet, Blue Oyster Cult, Heart? And my favorite band, Bad Company.

Dream Weaver (Gary Wright)
More Than A Feeling (Boston)
Don't Fear The Reaper (Blue Oyster Cult)
Show Me The Way (Peter Frampton)
