100 Love Songs From the 1970s

The music scene changed dramatically towards the end of the '60s. The "hippy-trippy" sound favored in popular music at the time gave way to many new genres. Many '70s bands used these '60s recording tricks to create new ballads that blended psychedelic electronic soundscapes with more danceable grooves. Pop lyrics also changed during this decade as songwriters sought to appeal to global audiences. Thanks to the musical experimentation in the '60s, the '70s saw an onslaught of complex and untraditional song structures.
