Best 70s songs

[Sanx]

I was still four years old at the end of the seventies, but:

The Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd
Journey of the Sorcerer - The Eagles
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Going Underground - The Jam (sneaks in as it was recorded in 1979, but released early 1980)

This song truly makes me want to live in that time. To be one of the first people to hear this song would have been a great great pleasure. I envy those who lived through these guys.

I know exactly what you are saying.
'Shine on' is a great song, but 'Comfortably numb' does it for me. What I would give to have seen the Wall concert with David Gilmour singing and playing guitar from the top of the wall, on a raised platform with spotlights shining from behind him.

Not quite the same I know, but maybe when we meet I could play it for you. If you shut your eyes and envision it's Dave Gilmour...It probably still won't be the same.

I can't believe I forgot about this gem...and even more so that I was reminded by "Close Up" using it under some item on skateboarding...
