MY 70'S ROCK SINGLES PLAYLIST (Part 2)

AS promised...here is Part Two of my 70's playlist. Pardon me for including too many entries (50) this time. You see...the 70's are my salad years. Let us all now lose ourselves in memory lane.

• "Highway Star" (1972)/Deep Purple. A perfect soundtrack for the imaginary prequel of The Fast and the Furious. 
• "Aqualung" (1971)/Jethro Tull. Singer-songwriter-flutist-guitarist Ian Anderson's contribution to the prog rock genre. 
• "The Needle and the Damage Done" (1977)/Neil Young. Great acoustic guitar from the master himself; an obvious message for the junkies. 
• "All Right Now" (1970)/Free. One of the best vocalists of his time: Paul Rodgers. 
• "Dream On" (1973)/Aerosmith. Imagine you're in a dream-like state... 
• "Ooh La La" (1973)/Faces. I'll say it again: long before Rod Stewart sold out. 
• "Born to Run" (1975)/Bruce Spingsteen. " 'Cause tramps like us/Baby we were born to run." 
• "Ang Probinsiyana" (1977)/Anak Bayan. Recorded in 1973 and eventually released after Pinoy Rock exploded all over courtesy of DZRJ; the unsung heroes started the movement together with JDCB. 
• "Black Betty" (1977)/Ram Jam. In-your-face rhythm; one-hit wonder group.
• "Tupelo Honey" (1971)/Van Morrison. "You can't stop us on the road to freedom." 
• "Tiny Dancer" (1971)/Elton John. The partnership of the pianoman and erstwhile lyricist Bernie Taupin churned a string of hits in those days; watch out for Sir Elton's biopic. 
• "Your Smiling Face" (1977)/James Taylor. A rare fast number from the troubador.
• "Knocks Me Off My Feet" (1976)/Stevie Wonder. Still remains as my all-time preferred hit from the genius. 
• "Another Brick in the Wall" (1979)/Pink Floyd. Check out the free-flowing guitar solo. 
• "Imagine" (1971)/John Lennon. Still stands the test of time...never fades away. 
• "Won't Get Fooled Again" (1971)/The Who. From the group's Who's Next (to jingle) album. 
• "Bohemian Rhapsody" (1977)/Queen; "Stairway to Heaven" (1971)/Led Zeppelin; "Hotel California" (1976)/Eagles; "American Pie" (1971)/Don McLean. What would the 70's be like without these polished gems? 
• "Layla" (1970)/Derek & the Dominos. Feel Eric Clapton's honesty and pain.
  
• "Walk This Way" (1975)/Aerosmith with Run DMC. Rock meets rap. Great collab. 
• "(Masdan Mo) Ang Kapaligiran" (1978)/Asin. The first ever local environmental ode, as I know it. 
• "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" (1974)/Steely Dan. Flawless and excellent phrasing from Donald Fagen. 
• "The Logical Song" (1979)/Supertramp. I'm imagining this tune with "little people" in multi-colored clothing prancing around in merriment in a garden filled with never-seen-before flowers. 
• "Like a Hurricane" (1977)/Neil Young. Lav Diaz and I used to sing this one in our Cubao office. 
• "All the Young Dudes" (1972)/Mott the Hoople. Glam rock invades the scene; written by David Bowie(+). 
• "Roundabout" (1971)/Yes. Art rock has never been this tasteful.
• "Ohio" (1970)/Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. A counter-culture protest statement against the Nixon presidency. 
  
• "Beep Beep" (1975)/Juan dela Cruz Band. A fitting tribute to the kings (and villains!) of the road. Watch out for the upcoming ad featuring this cut.
•  "Moondance" (1970)/Van Morrison. Another entry from the favorite rock/soul/jazz crooner of Rolling Stone magazine. 
• "Superstition" (1972)/Stevie Wonder.  Rock and soul featuring guitarist Jeff Beck on the funky riff. 
• "Blind Eye" (1971)/Wishbone Ash. British blues rock band that released 24 albums in the course of their career. 
• "Uncle John's Band" (1970)/Grateful Dead. From the Bay Area's outstanding  achievers; arguably Jerry Garcia's(+) most accessible tune. 
• "Wild Horses" (1971)/Rolling Stones. A surprising soft rock entry from the bad boys of rock. 
• "Melissa" (1972)/Allman Brothers Band. My all-time favorite rock singer: Gregg Allman(+). 
• "The Load Out" (1977)/Jackson Browne. From his classic live LP Running on Empty. 
• "More Than a Feeling" (1976)/Boston. Band leader Tom Scholz had a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering. 
• "Paranoid" (1970)/Black Sabbath. Ozzy Osbourne sings about severe depression in this doom metal cut. 
• "Ang Bayan Kong Sinilangan (Timog Cotabato)" (1978)/Asin. Talking about the conflicting views of Muslims and Christians. 
• "So Far Away" (1971)/Carole King. Melancholia... 
• "Baker Street" (1978)/Gerry Rafferty. The stinging slide guitar solo is reason enough to include this one. 
• "Dreams" (1977)/Fleetwood Mac. Stevie Nicks' ticket to prominence. 
• "Takin' It to the Streets" (1976)/Doobie  Brothers. Jazz explorations from the southern rock band care of Michael McDonald. 
• "Downright Women" (1971)/Boz Scaggs. Jazzy. 
• "Peaceful Easy Feeling" (1972)/Eagles. Perfection is the band's aphorism since the start; Glenn Frey(+) on lead vocals. 
• "Walk on the Wild Side" (1972)/Lou Reed. Produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson for the Velvet Underground's leader; a song about then taboo subjects: trannies, male prostitution and oral sex. 
• "Immigrant Song" (1970)/Led Zeppelin. The lolos (grandfathers) Robert Plant and Jimmy Page still rock... 
• "Nature's Way" (1970)/Spirit. A pioneering environmental paean from an obscure band. 
• "Shining Star" (1975)/Earth, Wind & Fire. An upbeat cut to fittingly end this playlist featuring their leader Maurice White(+) on lead vocals.
