Top 100 70s Songs

by martinsejas

It’s been exactly 1 month since I’ve posted on this blog. I apologise for not posting content on a more regular basis. A lot of exciting things have been happening in my life which have kept me occupied.

Anyway, the subject of today’s post is my compilation of the Top 100 70s Songs. Just like any other compilation, it was a difficult picking out the 100 best songs from an entire decade. I’ve had to consult various resources online and offline to help put together the best possible list of songs.

Once again, please keep in mind that these songs are in no particular order. My only hope is that you enjoy this list of Top 100 70s Songs and that it helps find some hidden gems for 70s themed parties and activities.

Donna Summer was the queen of disco during the 1970’s and shes not on the list. Love to love you Baby and I feel Love are both fantastic songs and should be on this countdown somewhere. What do you think?
