Description

10 huge 1970s hits that once filled American radio stations but are rarely heard on the airwaves today. Rediscover classic 70s songs, forgotten radio favorites, and Forgotten Songs that helped define a generation. There was a time when you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing these songs. They played in cars, filled living rooms, and became the soundtrack to summer afternoons, late-night drives, and unforgettable moments. Some climbed the Billboard charts. Others became familiar voices on AM and FM radio across America. But as the decades passed, radio playlists changed, musical tastes evolved, and many once-popular hits slowly disappeared from regular rotation. In this countdown, we're bringing back 10 memorable songs from the 1970s that deserve another moment in the spotlight. You may have forgotten the artist. You may not have heard the song in years. But there's a good chance those opening notes will bring everything rushing back. From classic pop and soft rock to unforgettable radio favorites, these Forgotten Songs remind us just how much great music the 1970s gave us. Stay until #1, because the final song may be one you haven't heard on the radio in decades — even though you still remember every word. Some Forgotten Songs don't need to be rediscovered because they were bad. They simply stopped getting played. Which 1970s hit do you wish radio stations would bring back? Tell us the song and the station where you remember hearing it. Subscribe for more forgotten hits, classic oldies, and musical memories from the 1960s and 1970s. #10 — Get Used to It — Roger Voudouris #9 — Rock Me Gently — Andy Kim #8 — You Are the Woman — Firefall #7 — Jackie Blue — The Ozark Mountain Daredevils #6 — I Go Crazy — Paul Davis #5 — I'd Really Love to See You Tonight — England Dan & John Ford Coley #4 — So Into You — Atlanta Rhythm Section #3 — Wildfire — Michael Martin Murphey #2 — Right Time of the Night — Jennifer Warnes #1 — I'd Love to Change the World — Ten Years After #1970smusic #forgottensongs #70sHits #classichits #oldiesmusic
