top ten songs from the 70's

[sonickteam2]

ok , you may remember me asking for songs with "black" or "white" in the title, but i have since changed my mind on my Christmas compilation
 
   so i am going with the best songs from the 70s
 
   i may do a top 500 or 250 or 1000, but i am trying to get opinion on the top few.
 
    so what would everyone say is their top 10 , or 3, 5 , whatever you want.  i'd like some input!
   thanks people!
