Most people tend to associate the 70s with either one of two genres: classic rock or disco. Many argue that the disco movement of the late 70s overshadowed all other genres, however, many argue otherwise.

Nevertheless there were a couple of songs which literally defined this decade and will always be associated as anthems from this classic era of music. This short article will outline just 3 of them.

Staying Alive ? The Bee Gees

The song was released at the peak of disco in 1978 by Bee Gees and continues to be a staple at parties throughout the world. Barry Gibb?s falsetto voice is what makes this song what it is. It?s one of the 70s Songs that will forever be associated with disco.

Bohemian Rhapsody ? Queen

Quite simply one of the most innovative and incredible rock songs in the history of music. This song cemented Freddie Mercury?s status as a musical genius as well as an incredible live entertainer. The fact that he had the whole song worked out in his head even they started recording is simply amazing. There arguably has not been a better rock song since.

Hotel California ? The Eagles

This song is really about the last 2 minutes. That?s not to say that the first 4 minutes is not excellent, because it is.
