For me, the '70s were Queen, disco, Supertramp, the best years of Chicago, and Little River Band (my first concert!). And lots of other stuff, too.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.
I love that song. But I hate "Walking on Sunshine."

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have great love for the theme for Greatest American Hero.
A song that meant quite a bit to me at the time. Spring '81 was the semester I really settled in at college and developed a life. "Greatest American Hero" was all over the radio that summer with it's "life is great" theme.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm pretty sure that many, if not all, of the songs I love that I think other people may not Aimee loves as well.

Because books.
Yeah, I've got a bunch of '70s songs I would put on that list. "Shannon," anyone? Nothing like a song about a dead dog to gloom up an afternoon.
I also love Carole King's soundtrack to Really Rosie completely unironically and listen to it a lot.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I think the '70's have a preponderance of "Songs that should never have been written". Shannon is on that list.

Our wings are not tired.
I was so surprised when I wrote about singing Air Supply and Sergio Mendes (one of his sappy love songs) on Facebook, and people commented that they loved Air Supply. I don't love or even like Air Supply, but I did when I was 12, so I still know all of the words.

Javachik is me. It's occasionally useful to scare people.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I definitely know all the words. My sister liked Air Supply, and she was awesome to the seven years younger me, so what she liked was the pinnacle of taste for me.
