Music for the Masses (the ’70s)
Filed Under Multi-tasking, Stuff | June 29, 2007
You’ve just dropped your kids off. You’re alone in the car. And then half an hour of driving later you realize that instead of taking the opportunity to listen to your own music, you’ve been mindlessly humming along to theirs. Argh! With this collection of hip, roadworthy tunes from the ’70s that the whole family can enjoy, at least you’ll be humming along mindlessly to forgotten oldies that’ll take you back to the days 8-track tapes and AM radios.
Note: Just like last week’s mix of ’60s music, these come expressly recommended for long weekend road trips:
| They Long To Be (Close To You) | The Carpenters |
| Swing Low Sweet Chariot | Eric Clapton |
| Silly Love Songs | Paul McCartney & Wings |
| Crocodile Rock | Elton John |
| ABC | Jackson 5 |
| Mamma Mia | ABBA |
| Rebel, Rebel | David Bowie |
| Joy to the World | Three Dog Night |
| Y.M.C.A. | The Village People |
| Sweet Talking Woman | Crosby, Stills & Nash |
| Yellow Submarine | Electric Light Orchestra |
| Love Will Keep Us Together | Captain & Tennille |
All the songs are available on iTunes.
