WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

Magnificent Seventies : A Mix to celebrate the 70's, not disco

Posted about 1 year ago

I was watching television last night when an infomercial came on selling a "Best hits of the seventies" compilation. The track-listing was about 90 percent ridiculous: all disco, early hair rock (and not the good ones), and a few good tracks from Marvin Gaye & Al Green thrown in as if that made the rest of the collection better. This got me thinking I should make my own mix of my favorite things to come out of the seventies musically, and the below is the result. I know there's lots of essentials left off (stones, gaye, etc) but it's not meant to be definitive, just some of my favorites.

[mp3] Graham Nash - Simple Man
[mp3] Al Green - Let's Stay Together
[mp3] Fleetwood Mac - Secondhand News
[mp3] Carole King - So Far Away
[mp3] Bob Dylan - If You See Her Say Hello
[mp3] Neil Young - Out on The Weekend
[mp3] James Brown - Get Up Offa That Thing
[mp3] Led Zeppelin - Going to California
[mp3] John Lennon - How Do You Sleep
[mp3] David Bowie - Lady Stardust

Bonus:
[mp3] American Analog Set - Magnificent Seventies
[mp3] Death Cab For Cutie/Neil Young - Military Madness (Graham Nash Cover)
