whistle note crooner<\/a> wasn\u2019t a smash hit. \u201cLes Fleur\u201d is an absolutely enthralling song from start to finish. A little bit soul, a little bit psychedelia, a touch of jazz and gospel, this song got some retrospective love through the years in media, notably in films and television programs like Them, Atlanta, and Inherent Vice. But it still deserved way more love back in 1970.<\/p>\n\u201cDreams\u201d by Fleetwood Mac from \u2018Rumours\u2019 (1977)<\/p>\n
I had to throw in an absolute classic. Any song from Rumours by Fleetwood Mac could have made it to this list, but I went with the one that most fans would agree is their favorite. \u201cDreams\u201d was one of the most successful singles from that album, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1977.<\/p>\n
\u201cToast And Marmalade For Tea\u201d by Tin Tin from \u2018Tin Tin\u2019 (1970)<\/p>\n
I really wish baroque pop would make a comeback soon. \u201cToast And Marmalade For Tea\u201d by Tin Tin is one of the most memorable baroque pop songs from its era, and it was quite a hit, too. This wobbly, psychedelic song peaked at No. 20 on the Hot 100 chart.<\/p>\n
\u201c(Don\u2019t Fear) The Reaper\u201d by Blue \u00d6yster Cult from \u2018Agents Of Fortune\u2019 (1976)<\/p>\n
Few songs manage to dredge up memories of driving through the desert (or elsewhere) in the 1970s quite like this massive hard rock hit from Blue \u00d6yster Cult. A psychedelic rock song for the ages, this memorable track peaked at No. 12 in the US after it dropped in 1976.<\/p>\n
\u201cCarry On My Wayward Son\u201d by Kansas from \u2018Leftoverture\u2019 (1976)<\/p>\n
An absolute jam. \u201cCarry On My Wayward Son\u201d by Kansas makes it to our list of songs from the 1970s that will bring you back to a simpler time, mainly because it\u2019s such a prog-rock standard from the era. \u201cCarry On My Wayward Son\u201d was quite a hit for the band, peaking at No. 11 on the Hot 100 chart.<\/p>\n
