Great choices! But "Forever Man" is 1985.
~*Hannah_Lee*~ 03-18-2003, 12:39 AM I like some 70's songs, but my two fave's are prolly "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks ( i think that's 70's) and "Band on the Run" by Paul McCartney.
I like "Barracuda" by Heart, too.
OH and was "Iron Man" from the 70's?? If so, then that is another favorite.

Yeah, "Seasons" is from the '70s ('74). I don't know about "Iron."

Really? Guess I should've known that. I'll replace that one with "There Goes Another Love Song" by the Outlaws. (I just checked, and it IS a 70's song. ;) )

Iron Man as in the Black Sabbath song? Yeah, I think it's from the 70's... check with Captain Ablairica though. He's the expert.

I lived through the 70's, it was hell, but BLACK SABBATH brought me through it in one piece!!!!! I was about 9 when I heard the song, about 1971 around there, it totally beat the snot out of fluffy dreck like "Horse With No Name" by America and "Me and Mrs. Jones" by whoever-the-hell...Several years later I looked it up at the mall and got a dose of it from the Paranoid album and thought OMG THIS IS THE HEAVIEST STUFF ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!!!!!!
