classic rock songs from 1975<\/a> that are worth remembering again. <\/p>\n\u201cKashmir\u201d by Led Zeppelin from \u2018Physical Graffiti\u2019 (1975)<\/p>\n
Once you hear the opening rhythms of this song, you know exactly what you\u2019re getting into. This is one of the heaviest, most propulsive songs of the 1970s. It\u2019s also one of the most powerful tunes Led Zeppelin ever wrote. It looms, it forebodes. It broods and builds. It\u2019s like a volcano and lead vocalist Robert Plant\u2019s singing is like the hot lava spilling out over the rocky sides. Released smack-dab in the middle of the decade, Led Zeppelin continued to set the tone of the 1970s. <\/p>\n
\u201cFame\u201d by David Bowie from \u2018Young Americans\u2019 (1975)<\/p>\n
If there\u2019s one thing that the British-born singer David Bowie knew about, it\u2019s fame. The man was famous. He couldn\u2019t walk down the street without being recognized (maybe that was because of his platform shoes and giant sunglasses, but we digress\u2026) and this 1975 song from the artist explicates that dynamic in an entertaining and thoughtful manner. At the height of his fame, many would likely have said they\u2019d want to trade places with Bowie. But in reality, that might have been too big a burden!<\/p>\n
\u201cRhiannon\u201d by Fleetwood Mac from \u2018Fleetwood Mac\u2019 (1975)<\/p>\n
Speaking of fame, in the 1970s there may not have been a band more famous than Fleetwood Mac. Fans followed them for their sonic compositions like the slinky tune \u201cRhiannon\u201d, and for the internal drama within the band. Elicit romances were as much a part of Fleetwood Mac\u2019s story as key changes or playful lyrical metaphors. With them, it\u2019s impossible to separate the melodrama from the music. And we\u2019d never want to try! <\/p>\n
