Default Top 100 of the 70s (Just Press Play)

[OK. It's another list. I know they're not worth much. Even so . . . This is Fifty Years of Great Music compiled by Just Press Play. They compiled the top 100 songs of the seventies and one FM song made the cut]

Fifty Years of Great Music: The Top 100 Songs of the 1970s

98. Rhiannon
by Fleetwood Mac
from Fleetwood Mac
1975 / Pop

Sometimes scorned as exemplifying “corporate rock” and being a hit that pushed forward the need for punk rockers to rebel against the music machine, there’s nothing generic about this song’s elements that would be deserving of displacement. Amplifying the spooky grace of Stevie Nicks’ dark arts gypsy aesthetic, her witchy vocal performance suits the arrangement, which glides along a subtle and dark dream dual guitar melody that never overplays its hand in incorporating ooh-aah back-ups. But it’s not discomforting pop; instead it soothes you into a treacherous place with an ethereal discord—Muzak in a madhouse? Even the indulgently prescient myth-mortalizing of its lyrics doesn’t overcome the tune’s most fundamental harmonic appeal. In fact, Fleetwood Mac never released a more engaging single.
