TiBB's Song of the '70s is "Life on Mars?"
 

Yep. I know it's been a day but I have NOTHING TO LIVE FOR ANY MORE ;_;

As usual, I've handpicked 120 songs from various "best of" lists - VH1, Rolling Stone and Pitchfork amongst others - and I need 40 more from you. Here are the preselected songs:

As always, you may suggest up to ten songs and then support up to ten of other members'. The first 40 songs to get a suggestion & two supports will qualify. And of course I ask that you don't vote tactically but honestly, anyone seen fishing for votes will be spanked by spunky arista :nono: (but no I will discount your votes)

Get suggesting and supporting :evilgrin:
