Do you like the number one song of 1973?

shareWhat's your favorite?
shareToo many to pick one! Great list! I'll pick one further down the list, because she is one of my favorite singers:

Looking at the list, so many other songs are much more popular today than the #1 song. I'm sure they've made way more than Tie a Yellow Ribbon.
Songs like:
Crocodile Rock
Stuck In The Middle With You
Dancing In The Moonlight
You're So Vain
Nice. And also used in a lot of movies.
shareYeah, I know.
My favorite use of the song has got to be when Jack Black sang it towards the end of High Fidelity.
So now, for your listening pleasure, here's Barry Jive & The Uptown Five - https://youtu.be/bzl_l5gC5is
Bad Bad Leroy Brown.
Jim Croce
I know more of those songs than I thought I would. My favorite would probably be We're an American Band.
shareGood song👍
Tony Orlando and Dawn had a few hits that are still fun to hear
I like it, too. Dawn songs are pretty easy to sing along to. And give me a Carpenters song any day.
Your post made me go back and listen to some of my favorite songs from the very early 70's. Some tug at my heart and make me cry. Funny how music can transport you to another time and place.
shareYes - it’s cheesy fun.
shareA few months back there was a post asking for users to list their musical guilty pleasures. At the time I had been listening to pop hits from the early 1970s, what was called the "bubblegum" era. Growing up I had heard these songs while riding in the car with an AM radio and single cheap dashboard speaker. Re-listening these tunes in clear stereo on earbuds opened up a whole new world. I was amazed at how complex these songs actually were, with multitrack recording revealing string and horn sections comprised of studio musicians who were experts at their craft. I gained a new appreciation of what I had dismissed as cranked-out drivel aimed at kids.
The "guilty pleasure" I posted was "Knock Three Times" by Tony Orlando and Dawn.
