bored at work 70's list

I was so bored at work today and I've been hating my job more than ever. Today I received a "verbal warning" regarding an "emotional outburst" from a few weeks ago, that was construed as "unprofessional conduct." I yelled "fuck" really loud after someone called me (more or less) an incompetent idiot and hung up the phone on me.

I decided to help the day go by faster by getting lost in writing an unfuckwitable list of the 50 (+10) best songs from the 1970's, which will be posted here tonight on Taste My Kids...........

There's probably a lot that was forgotten, but it seems accurate for the moment.. I'm a tad bit shocked how much classic rock ended up here, and how little pop and dance music ended up here.. But I guess that's just how it is. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love "SOS" and "Waterloo," and "Jive Talkin'" certainly would have been included in a Top 100, but I just didn't feel like pushing it that far.
