Top Ten Songs from the Singer/Songwriter Era in the 1970s

The Top Ten
1 Fire and Rain - James Taylor
2 Tangled Up In Blue - Bob Dylan
3 If You Could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot

This needs to be higher, although I would admit that it does have solid competition.

4 Running on Empty - Jackson Browne
5 Rocky Mountain High - John Denver
6 Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot

Great song, great tribute. But "If You Could Read My Mind" was exquisite, and his best work, ever.

7 Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel
8 American Pie - Don McLean
9 Shelter from the Storm - Bob Dylan
10 Taxi - Harry Chapin
The Contenders
11 Morning Has Broken - Cat Stevens
12 I Got a Name - Jim Croce
13 After the Gold Rush - Neil Young
14 Peace Train - Cat Stevens
15 Rocket Man - Elton John
16 Crucify Your Mind - Rodriguez
17 Your Song - Elton John

Not a Reggie fan, but this is beautiful.

18 Wild World - Cat Stevens
19 The Year of the Cat - Al Stewart

So love this song that I had to select it despite amazing competition.

20 Help Me - Joni Mitchell
21 Please Come To Boston - Dave Loggins
22 Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce

It's been a while since I last read this list, and now I think that this song needs to be moved way up the list. Top seven, if not more.

I'm shocked that this beautiful song wasn't already here, but I'm honoured and proud to add it myself.

23 Wildfire - Michael Martin Murphey
24 It's Too Late - Carole King
25 I Saw the Light - Todd Rundgren
