All these young whippersnappers, with their hip hop and electronica and melodically blackened Norwegian death/grind/thrash metal/metalcore. In my day.....

Well anyway, what are your guys' favorite songs that were released before 1980?

Be concise, be specific.

Detroit Rock City by Kiss. Was practically unheard of, but its by far my fav kiss song.

Glados is a bitch. She made me kill the companion cube, the only friend I'll ever have. 😢

elvis, and everything Motown

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Classic Jazz album. I love me some good jazz. Coltrane, anything with some rythm and groove.

For now, I have to go with Monk's Dream 😎 by Thelonious Monk, mainly because I'm on a Monk binge right now.

If Electric Light Orchestra did it in the seventies, it's good.

Most notably their album, "On The Third Day."
Also, UFO's album, "Phenomenon"
"Seichô Takeuchi-Bushi" by Takeshi Terauchi and the Bunnys, too
And let's not forget Jefferson Airplane's "Surrealistic Pillow"
Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain"
Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell"

I'd never be able to pick a song....

If I had to, I'd probably go with either Bat Out of Hell (the song on the album) or Maggot Brain (the song on the album). Ocean Breakup/King of the Universe from the aforementioned ELO album is gold, too.

I am the God of Freedom. I am not revered, I have no shrines; and you have never before heard of me nor will you ever hear of me again.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (1975)
(And pretty much everything else of Pink Floyd 😀 ).

Oh and not to forget, ELO - Mr Blue Sky.

Rebel Rebel by David Bowie. I can't live without this song.

Ballroom of Mars by T.Rex. It's amazing.

Here There and Everywhere by The Beatles. Call it cheesy or whatever, but I get all dreamy-eyed when I hear this song. So romantic le sigh

Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads. I just can't help but sing-along to this when I hear it.

Those are just some of them. I'm tired of typing 😐

Elvis, Aretha, Beatles, Johnny Cash ,Ella Fitzgerald, plus I love musicals (ex. "Sobbin' Women") 😀

"Squeak Squeaken, Squeak Squeaker"

Fire by Jimi Hendrix

and classical music like those by Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Liszt, etc...my favorite being Pachelbel's Canon

what sounds good, rolling stones, AC DC, midnight oil, huummm even the doors is found in my collection. Oh and Deep purple, black sabath.

love and peace

Killer Queen by obviously Queen
and are we allowed to include Thriller(album) by Michael Jackson? That was sick and in the 80s 😛 .

ABBA:
Does your mother know
Super Trooper
Mama Mia
Money Money Money
bunch of others
(i hate the A-Teens making money off of other peoples work/success)

Roy Orbirson
Blue Bayou
most others made after 1980 but they are good too

The Ventures
just about everything (instrumental)

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath is probably the heaviest song ever. It pwns all other heavy metal songs ever.
