Most Iconic 70s Songs

As with my 80s and 90s list, there's SO many more songs that I could've included, so feel free to submit your own. Even if it's an Eagles song :(
The Top Ten
1 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

We need a list of iconic 60s songs.

2 Theme From Shaft - Isaac Hayes

Your mileage may differ, but as a film buff when I think 70s, I think blaxploitation. So it makes sense for me to put this iconic 70s theme song here. This IS 70s music to me.

3 Dancing Queen - ABBA

Far from my favourite ABBA song but easily one of the most identifiably and iconic 70s songs.

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen!

Man, I really hate this song, but it is an iconic 70s song.

Great song of all time

4 Run Through the Jungle - Creedence Clearwater Revival

1970. The best song from my favourite band, and again there's a movie connection. This is the ultimate Vietnam War song (or at least it's one of the songs most often used to underscore the Vietnam War in movies).

5 Happy Xmas (War Is Over) - John Lennon, Yoko Ono, The Harlem Community Choir & The Plastic Ono Band

I love this Christmas song!

Pretty self-explanatory, no?

Beautiful song.

6 Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

Love or hate disco, love or hate The Bee Gees, Disco was a huge thing in the 70s and so were The Bee Gees.

7 Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - AC/DC

My favourite AC/DC song off my favourite AC/DC album, you may prefer something else from Bon and the boys in the 70s but as an Aussie it'd be criminal (no convict jokes, please) to leave them off the list.

Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap. Great song. No convict jokes from me as that would be criminal.

8 The Long and Winding Road - The Beatles

The break-up of The Beatles was an iconic 70s moment, and this was arguably their last great song.

9 Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac

Probably the best-known song by the band off their best-known album.

10 Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

The birth of metal? Arguably. One of the most terrifying sounds of the 70s? Undoubtedly.

The Contenders
11 Child in Time - Deep Purple
12 Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
13 Hotel California - Eagles

This song is a masterpiece. I LOVE the intro, the chorus is easy to sing along and the solo is so badass. Definitely on my personal top ten favourite song of all time. Bring me back to the good old years. If you don't like this song, you don't know what real music is.

Very successful

14 Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Love this list. Well done.

15 Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
16 Superstition - Stevie Wonder

Yes! Glad someone added it, I probably should've myself.

17 We Will Rock You - Queen
18 Money - Pink Floyd
19 Imagine - John Lennon
20 Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen - Santana
21 Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones
22 School's Out - Alice Cooper

This is how you Rock in The 70s!

23 Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
24 Lowdown - Boz Scaggs
25 Dark Lady - Cher
