6. "Arrow Through Me" -- Paul McCartney & Wings

7. "Higher Ground" -- Stevie Wonder

"No Woman, No Cry" Bob Marley changed "Superstition"- Stevie Wonder not because it not a great song, but it already on some list and it bugged me, and I forget Marley.

“American Pie” Don McLean

"Little Child Runnin' Wild" Curtis Mayfield

"Cat's in the Cradle" Harry Chapin

"Show Me the Way" Peter Frampton

"The Chain" Fleetwood Mac

"Smoke on the Water" Deep Purple

It can't be done in 7 groups or artist, let along 7 songs.

PS Curtis Mayfield is that great

Transmission - Joy Division

Shake Appeal - The Stooges

Solsbury Hill* - Peter Gabriel

The Big Ship - Brian Eno

Zombie - Fela Kuti

Highway Star - Deep Purple

Willow's Song - Paul Giovanni and Magnet

*(tough choice, because I love everything off Scratch and Car but they're both cohesive album experiences).

a better Top 7  70s list would be album and that would be really fucking hard

OK, so this isn't me applying what I like now but this is what I remember loving when my parents played them.  It's too hard to go back now as there are so many mint tunes so here we go:

1) Take Me I'm yours - Squeeze (just listened to it again on youtube and it's still astounding)

2) Grey Day - Madness

3) As - Stevie Wonder

4) Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

5) Mr Blue Sky - ELO

6) Exodus - Bob Marley

7) Anything off Jeff Waynes Musical Version of War of the Worlds (bit of a cheat but such a good album).

I would have also like to put

"Are 'Friends' Electric?" Tubeway Army

'long ranger' quantum jump

LOLA - The Kinks

"Walk on the Wild Side" Lou Reed,

Low Rider" War

on my list
