Groovin'

[Claretmisterg]

So many brilliant songs to choose from it's hard to pick just one but a walk on the wild side by Lou Reed was absolutely fantastic.

[Lubanski]

I could probably pick another dozen or so, even if I split an answer into different categories.

[Hibsclaret]

Dreadlock Holiday

[taffy]

Mr blue sky

[Mondsley]

Hard to choose only 1. But I'll go for America Simon and Garfunkel.

[Dyched]

Like A Rolling Stone. Far beyond any other song imho.

Sound And Vision. Bowie.

[blsclaret]

Pandora's Box, Procul Harum

Plus many others:
Day After Day, Badfinger

I'll stop now.

Led Zep II

[LeadBelly]

60s - House of the Rising Son, Animals. Saw The Animals live doing this at Great Yarmouth whilst on Burnley holiday week- loved Eric doing this.

70s - Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen. Seemed so different from anything else and great to sing along to (still is).

[Clovius Boofus]

Waiting for the man - Velvet Underground (Could easily have been Venus in Furs though).

I'll go for All Tomorrow’s Parties

For the 70s - Hanging Around by The Stranglers

[Ptangyangkipperbang]

Something Better Change /Straighten Out by The Stranglers because it was the first serious record I bought which went onto send me on an obsessive musical journey which still lasts to this day 48 years later

[AmbleClaret]

Wichita Lineman- Glenn Campbell

[Nonayforever]

My choice would change every week as its almost an impossible question to answer, but one that always springs to mind is Dean Parrish - I'm on my way.

[!aiboforceN]

Are 'Friends' Electric? (Tubeway Army)
Heroes (Bowie)
I Feel Love (Donna Summer)

[HurstGrangeClaret]

Not my favourite record by a long way but the first one I ever bought was “By the banks of the Ohio” by the gorgeous Olivia Newton John.
I’m glad to say my taste improved over the years!

[Down_Rover]

Virginia plain

[Vintage Claret 1946]

Proud Mary by Credence Clearwater Revival in 1968

[Tricky Trevor]

Life On Mars..Bowie

[Lord_Bob]

Ode to Billy Joe. Bobbie Gentry for 60s. Still thinking about 70s

[ashtonlongsider]

A record released on 12/5/67 Procol Harum-A whiter Shade of Pale not only remains my fav record of the '60's but also of all time.

[aclaretinstevenage]

If pushed for just one it would have to be "Go Now" by the Moody Blues but it's really an impossible question.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

This one for me, a song that still somehow sounds modern and futuristic nearly 45 years later

[CaptJohn]
