Top 10 Tracks of 1970
Previous: 1969
A new decade! This year reps the last possible appearance by the Beatles as a group. But as you can see, nothing is stopping solo career tracks from making these lists. My love for “Stage Fright” can be traced back to the first time I saw Martin Scorsese’s rock doc The Last Waltz. What a performance! Gordon Lightfoot wouldn’t be on this list if it weren’t for a combination of my dad playing the song all the time when I was a kid and Johnny Cash covering it. Black Sabbath will be the first of probably many heavy metal appearances.
