You STILL got it Flagpole. Never stop trolling baby!
While I knew this post would generate a lot of comments (it would have no matter WHAT song I posted as one of the best 10 in the 1970s), it's not a troll post.
Here's why this song is so great and why I actually do think it's one of the best 10 of the 70s:
1) I'm not usually a lyrics guy, but he wrote this for his ailing father facing cardiovascular surgery, and when you listen to it with that understanding, it is unique.
2) Loggins' singing is outstanding in this song.
3) It is catchy, and it rocks, building up nicely to the rockin' chorus.
4) Michael McDonald co-wrote it and sings on it, so, butter.
5) It is musically very complex, and as a musican, I appreciate songs that aren't just 1-4-5.

With one post, you've confirmed everything I always suspected about you. Thanks.

This is It - Kenny Loggins September - Earth, Wind and Fire Listen to the Music - The Doobie Brothers Superstition - Stevie Wonder Sir Duke - Stevie Wonder Roundabout - Yes Black Dog - Led Zeppelin Riders On the Storm - The Doors Your Song - Elton John Killer Queen - Queen
I could have a different opinion on a different day, and I did try to switch it up with bands/performers here even though Stevie Wonder gets two songs. Also, just because these are the 10 best doesn't mean I don't want to hear something else. China Grove is a need for me once in a while as is Highway to Hell...and Foreplay/Long Time is one of the best technically precise songs ever written.

literally every song posted in this thread - with the exception of the Talking Heads - is absolute crap. Almost all of you have 0 taste

1. He didn’t write this for his father. 2. Sell out Kenny trying go pop. 3. It is in the same style as 90% of the music at the time.
4. So Kenny and Michael are brothers, or was Michael just close to his dad. Even though song isn’t for his dad. 5. No it isn’t. It is a repetitive melody.
I admit, I'm not very familiar with Kenny Loggins' discography outside of his contributions to Top Gun. I've never heard this song before; I thought I was listening to George Michael at first.
I think it's a good song. Would listen again. But confidently placing it in the top 10 of the entire 1970s is outrageous. No way am I putting Loggins over Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, the Isley Bros, George Benson, the Rolling Stones, etc., etc., etc.

Roundabout? Is rather poke an eye out than listen to that POS..
Not only does Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime demolish all the other songs listed on this thread, but the group also has the best music video of the 70's and maybe all time!
The Lambchops, the Mesh Shirt, the Bottle Jug....EPIC!!!!
