I am shocked that Smoke on the Water didn't cut the list, not even an honourable mention. Not a diss on the other bands, but Deep Purple are better musicians that any others on this list, and while many of their songs aren't as remembered, Smoke on the Water and Highway Star definitely are. Smoke on the Water didn't just define the 70s, it defined guitar in general. It's the song everybody learns on the guitar. And Highway Star, while not as big as most of these songs, is definitely a sleeper hit and completely redefined what a guitar solo meant. Every solo, from Van Halen and any band that imitated them only existed because of Highway Star. Machine Head is one of the classic albums from the decade and it's honestly just sad to see Deep Purple snubbed from these kinds of lists all the time.

Actually the 70s were the least diverse of the modern music age, 60s to present. The fact that they could do a top 10 to capture all of these songs shows how few exceptions there were to the normal rule. It wasn't until punk came along, destroyed all the rules, and ushered in the 80s that rock truly evolved. Punk came along at the very end of the 70s.

I'd put Bohemian Rhapsody #1. Stayin' Alive deserves to be very high though because it's representing the whole SNF/disco era. I'm not as big a fan of Stairway as many seem to be. American Pie is one of the all time greats, but for some reason it has much more of a 60s feel and so doesn't seem to define the '70s at all. Rather than Rocket Man, I'd say Elton's song here should have been Philadelphia Freedom. I'm glad ABBA made it. They have such a huge collection of 70s hits and were dominant outside of the US.

They’re saying most representative of the decade, and let’s be honest, when someone says “music from the 70s” 9/10 times disco is what immediately comes to mind. They’re not necessarily more influential, but more decade defining, that’s all

The middle and most of the 70's was dominated by ABBA. After Eurovision '74 finished with Waterloo at Number One, there was quiet until their first hit Mama Mia was picked up and topped the charts in 1975 from about March. Over Christmas into 1976, the charts were dominated by Fernando by ABBA. Then the hits just rolled on. Queen was really an unrecognised concept until the late '70's. Nobody really understood them. Then they had a cultish following. Kiss were big in 1979. Usually, popularity hung on a good song from a good group and they might have had other hits to back them up. That usually gave them 12 months or so of notoriety. ABBA stood out as being as big, almost, as The Beatles, perhaps without the depth, creativity and adulation accorded The Beatles.. The Bee Gees were big with Disco. That revived their career. I think Boney M with their hits like Daddy Cool and Rasputin should have been given more accord. The epitaph to the decade, I think, was The Knack with My Sharona. There were a lot of other good groups around like The Police with their reggae sound. Split Enz started to rise with their big New Wave hit of the late '70's called 'I See Red', too. That would lead the chart-topping record classic called I Got You!

Crystal3lf It really isn't. Hear me out... I love Queen, they are my favorite band but they are not even genre defying. Why? Because they were so unique on a level of they're own (i.e. in my mind better than all the rest) that they really couldn't define a certain period. They were always experimenting and trying new stuff with every song. How can such a multitude of styles (that were way ahead of their time anyway) define a specific time period of music? I consider Boh Rhapsody a masterpiece (though I do like other songs of Queen much better) but a single song can not define a genre or period of music when it's doing something completely different than everybody else. A signature sound of a decade is something EVERYBODY is doing as sad as that sounds :P.
