Hello everyone!  I am back again to continue my blog series of suggested candidates for the Singles category of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Previous blog entries included an Introduction explaining the rules I’ve set and how to make the Singles category a relevant and successful side-category for the Hall, and a blog highlighting viable candidates for the 1950’s and 1960’s.

Today’s blog will highlight 25 songs I feel would make for great candidates for the 1970’s, an era that the Hall has yet to touch upon when it comes to the Singles category.  Musically, the 70’s was a much more diverse decade compared to the 50’s and 60’s, so there’s lots of genres and styles represented here.  Some of the choices are among the greatest songs ever made (as in top 5 or top 10), as well as some controversial choices.  Like with previous blogs, I am ultimately making the argument for each of these candidates that a Singles category induction is more appropriate than a Performers induction, which I’m sure many people will disagree with.  But that’s the name of the game!  Anyways, let’s get started shall we?  25 of the greatest songs from the 70’s that deserve to be inducted into the Singles category of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
