Beautiful thread. My music celebrated.

I will post some of my favorites later. ...

"Planet Claire"

Ahhhahhahhahh

She came from Planet Claire
I knew she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
Faster than the speed of light

Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a head

Ahhhahhhahhahh

Some say she's from Mars
Or one of the seven stars
That shine after 3:30 in the morning
WELL SHE ISN'T

Ahhhahhhahhahhahhahh

Keep it comin' guys. I'm making my way through what's been shared so far as I browse the forum. Hall & Oates "Out Of Touch" is my fave so far, but there's been so many goodies.

Some of these recommendations might be too "energetic" for you.

I don't see any ELO yet.

Drat! Phooey! You beat me to it. I used to wake up to that song on the alarm clock radio when I was in grad school...
Here are a couple of others...

...and of course the 1970s / 1980s are when Mannheim Steamroller got started...

Not to mention Dire Straits:

which leads to Weird Al Yankovic (dig the state of the art computer graphics):

...oh, and Bob Dylan.

OK, enough for now, I'll be here all night.

Oh, OK, one other totally campy one. Since you *did* mention the 1970s:

PS How could I have forgotten --
Steely Dan, Rikki Don't Lose That Number...

Technically just a cover of a non-80's song from the 80's:

Not really a song from the 70's or 80's, but I hope 1968 counts! :

A few more songs that came to mind...

(I Think I'm in Love is another good one by Eddie Money)

Also, Prince's "Kiss" -- couldn't find a good video for it.

 

[highlander]

maybe not good but interesting to watch

I guess this must be "mellow" today:

 

[Kheledon]

You might like these:

Led Zeppelin - "Stairway to Heaven" (absolutely essential)

Pink Floyd - "Time" (Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.)

The Eagles - "One of These Nights" (the Great Timothy B. Schmidt at his best)

The Bee Gees - "Nights on Broadway" (disco represents the height of Western music, imo, and The Bee Gees represent its pinnacle)

John Denver - "The Eagle and the Hawk" (EIE, ENFj, in glory and triumph--John Denver ruled the seventies)

Roberta Flack - "Killing Me Softly" (beautiful response to the Fe of a brilliant performer)

The Church - "Under the Milky Way" (just gorgeous, and from one of our Five Eyes allies, Australia--often cited as the greatest song that country has ever produced)

America - "Ventura Highway" (We are the West, and we have won, yet we are touched by sadness and loss--never complete.)

I have more, but this will do for now.
