What songs from the 1970’s are on your playlist?

The 1970's were a great time for me, full of wonderful music to go along with the best decade of my life. So many songs to choose from, but I will start with one of my all time fav Fleetwood Mac songs "Go your own way" from the incredible Rumours album, recorded in 1977. I am pretty sure I wore this album out!!

Yes.  I am seeing songs also that I forgot about.  Who didn't sing along with "Fooled around and fell in love" or "Mustang Sally", another one of my favs.  Best music ever.  "You got me going in circles" was another one.  We could be here for months!
