I think this should not be included. It's about what was popular at the time (albeit with a focus on great songs).

I can't believe they don't have the Beatles' "Let It Be" on that list. I don't like that song, but I feel like it had to be such a defining moment of 1970. It was the death of the Beatles, you know?

But I definitely wasn't alive in the '70s so I wasn't there to tell you for sure. Take what I just said with a grain of salt.

Babydoll, I'm about ready to get up and do MY THANG. I wanna get into it, y'know, like a, like a...like what?

Can I count it off? I'll be OK if you tell me I can count it off.

[StevieFan13]

Ok, I'm OK. But somebody needs to listen to more James Brown.

No, I knew it was James Brown, I just chose to ignore the "count it off" thing and I was a bit perplexed why you choose to answer me like that.

I just had the song stuck in my head! I'm random like that.
