Le 100 migliori canzoni degli anni ’70 secondo NME

Abbiamo appena smaltito la classifica delle dieci migliori canzoni di Rihanna e NME ci propone un nuovo elenco, sempre con la scusa di celebrare le sessanta candeline della rivista (la loro mania è tale che ormai hanno bisogno di inventarsi pretesti). Si tratta delle cento migliori canzoni pubblicate negli anni ’70.

Rock e pop, funk e punk, un decennio controverso, costellato da nomi che sono entrati nella Storia della Musica. La classifica è incredibilmente equilibrata per essere made in UK: in top ten infatti, compare un buon numero di artisti statunitensi, con qualche sorpresa qui e lì anche scendendo più in basso. La vetta però è uno scivolone in puro stile NME (oltretutto con una band già presente con un altro brano). Provate a indovinare, leggete la risposta dopo il salto e diteci la vostra nei commenti.
