Top Ten 70s and 80s Soft Rock Classics

Don't know if this will get approved, but here goes, some of my favorite 70's and 70's soft rock favorites. Add yours
The Top Ten
1 If You Could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot

It seems fitting to add here that great minds think alike. I also added both of those songs...so, no, of course I don't mind one bit that you did as well.

I'm glad to see this up towards the top. Gordon, in my opinion, is one of the greatest songwriters that ever lived.

I couldn't resist...

2 Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel

Really wish I could add Homeward Bound by these but being a 60s song, it kind of defeats the object somewhat. Still Bridge Over Troubled Waters in such a lovely song. It's nice to see it here.

Greatest of all time.

3 Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty
4 Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters - Elton John
5 Without You - Harry Nilsson
6 Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac
7 Magnet and Steel - Walter Egan
8 Drift Away - Dobie Gray
9 Fooled Around and Fell In Love - Elvin Bishop

I'm so happy to see this here! I've loved this song for such a long time. I love the simplicity and gentleness of it. I was torn for a second between this and If You Could Read My Mind (which has received many of my votes) so for a change, this lovely song gets my vote. Great choice. Great list.

10 Midnight Confessions - Grass Roots
The Contenders
11 Suspicious Minds - Elvis Presley
12 Fall at Your Feet - Crowded House

Really romantic song.

13 Margarita - Marc Jordan

Don't have a yacht then just lay back and imagine. Lick the salt and chill!

14 Greg Guidry - Goin' Down

Hey this is a rare classic you don't hear much of anymore from 82. I also like Bill LaBounty "Dream On" and "Livin' It Up" from his underrated self titled album from 82 also. It's good to be reminded of even the rarest gems.

15 No One Is To Blame - Howard Jones
16 I'm Not in Love - 10cc
17 Listen to What the Man Said - Wings
18 Make It with You - Bread
19 Midnight Rider - The Allman Brothers Band

Surprised that this wasn't added sooner. It was released in '71, so it just fits this list rather nicely. And it's also really good.

20 December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) - Four Seasons
21 Feelin' Stronger Every Day - Chicago
22 Heart of Gold - Neil Young
23 Higher Love - Steve Winwood
24 Homeward Bound - Simon & Garfunkel
