Neil Diamond, Moody Blues and Jim Croce sounds like bags and bags of kittens being drowned to me. I wasn't more than a zygote for but of a bit of the 70s but it seems like there was some really good music and some equally shitty stuff all at once.
(Save it chowds, everyone but wedding singers and drunken bridesmaids hates Neil Diamond)I still call it The Jake.

While most of the music posted so far was fine if you listen to AM radio, but a lot of really great music was produced in '72 that has not got a mention. Some of the great work by the greatest bad was coming out, Layala being one of them, and certainly in the top 10 of greatest rocks songs ever.

Great year for music; diverse talents all going out on a bit of a limb.
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

Who can forget Jim?
"You don't mess around with Jim" by Jim Croce. That song came out in 1972.
Not that I'm calling it a great song.... just one that came out in '72. Still looking for the one song that would define that year when I was but a wee one.

Sweet thread.
I kind of just discovered this band Harmonium. They're a 70s progressive folk band from Quebec and as a Queb, I'm a bit surprised that I had never been exposed to them until now, but I guess my folks weren't really into it. Rolling stone rated their album best progressive folk. It's in French, but the instrumentation is pretty universal.
I guess it could be best described as Jethro Tull with more of a euro-Mediterranean vibe.

True on the recordings, but watch The Last Waltz again - there's almost no stage decoration, no prerecorded tracks or synths, no pitch correction, just a fuckton of amazing musicians packed on the stage playing great songs to a packed house. That kind of musicianship still exists, of course, but it's not the mainstream anymore.

This was on the jukebox in my HS cafeteria. The start of the base line was the signal to prepare for food fight. Start of organ was signal to commence
I have some War on my ski music playlist (Cisco Kid, Low Rider and All Day Music). But I am old...

Great Dead show. Thanks! No, all the music back then was not great. The loads of lousy stuff fell away with the cleansing of time. Thank goodness, imagine being tortured with all the junk pop of rock history. Lots of great music on this thread. Fun! Today is not without great stuff. I think Daft Punk's Random Access Memories stands well with the great album rock of all time.

I remember listening to this 1975 hit of theirs on my transistor radio riding the ski bus to Snoqualmie when I was in Elementary school
This video is worth the watch for the nostalgia. LOL @ Pong!
Edit: for you youngsters on here this is the transistor I listened to on the ski bus:
