To kick things off, how about a new playlist? The 1970's were an under-rated decade as far as music went, yet so much happened; Classic Rock matured, Alternative was born, the 60's transitioned from rebellion to acceptance, pop became the force that it is today and there was lots of Funk to go around... Plus there were the 70's originals - Jim Croce, Harry Nilson, Three Dog Night - voices and harmony that can never be matched; they were the 70's embodied.

Three Dog Night - not sure what their title signified... |
Those of you who weren't alive during those years still have the opportunity to experience the music anyway; although it isn't quite the same is it? Some of us still remember where we were the first time we heard 'Joy to World' or 'Saturday in the Park'. The world has changed a lot since then, but lucky for us music holds time hostage and binds memory across the decades.
Just a clarification, this list is not an attempt to track any of the songs played during episodes of That 70's Show; while there may of course be some overlap - our list was plucked from every genre and each little nook and cranny in the deep recesses of our middle-aged brains... Hope you enjoy it.
