1973 - freebird, simple man,
Too bad you only had to pick one. I picked "My Love". Would have liked to see The Raspberries - "Tonight" in there. Unfortunately, it wasn't a #1 song on the charts.
Too bad could pick only one. All bring back memories, but My Love (McCartney) would be the top.

I was born in 1969, so I've never listened to any of these '73 tunes until I was in my 20's or 30's.

Picking only one of those songs is very difficult. I have a large appetite for music and I like most of those songs.
Could have easily picked 10 - 12 of them. I was 14 in 73 and still have the first records I ever bought.
45's - Dawn - "Knock Three Times" and Temptations - "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)"
Albums - Chuck Berry's Golden Decade and Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! (The Rolling Stones In Concert).

It ain't fair that I had to pick just one song. There was about 8 to 10 songs that I liked from 1973. All I did then was listen to the radio.
I would have picked nearly all of them if I could, but I went with 'Superstition'. What an awesome track.
I said Crocodile rock but Midnight train is a close second! I hear CR and it brings me back to running around with my friends in the summer! 73 was probably the best year of the 70’s for music!
Delta Dawn. When I first heard it, I was with my three-year-old niece, Dawn. She was trilled her name was in the song!!
I got 70 percent.
You’re so vain??!!! WIERDOS!!!!
Why? It's a great song! Mick Jagger even sings backup, and once you pick his voice out, you'll always notice it.
I was born in 1959 so the 70s music was what I remember most. I could sing you the words to almost all of these songs. Jim Croce’s Time in a Bottle is the first song I learned, out of that list, all the way through.
For me, it's "Midnight Train To Georgia" by Gladys Knight & the Pips. It's the only truly great record in a field a few excellent records, several good ones, and a few...well, it WAS the 70s! Most Honorable Mentions include: "Photograph" by Ringo Starr, "Angie" by the Rolling Stones, "Frankenstein" by The Edgar Winter Group, "Time In A Bottle" by Jim Croce, and "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye.

Hello
I didn't know a single one of these songs so I picked the first one and got 100%
Maybe not by the names but if you heard them you'd know them.
That's fair. I have heard of some of the artists before so there's that!
No disrespect to you but I find it hard to believe you didn't know a single one of those songs??? Were you even listening to the radio in 1973?
Yeah that's the problem- I wasn't alive in 1973. My dad wasn't even alive in 1973!
Wow 100% first time ever
Although I love music from *many* decades - from the 80s all the way back to classical - I have to admit that the 1970s offered up *so many* great songs that evoke strong memories, even to this day.
Every time I hear the opening notes of "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Crofts, it takes me back to when I was 20 years old and volunteering around WMYQ (96 FM) in Miami Beach...

One more question 😄 About 2 months back there was a topic entitled “Choose your Dream Band” Was just curious about who you would choose?
Mine was:
Lead singer: Jim Morrison
Lead guitar: Eddie Van Halen
Bass: John Paul Jones
Rythym guitar: John Lennon
Drums: John Bohnam 🎸

That's a tough one, but I like to think out of the box...
I would choose many of the members of the legendary "Wrecking Crew" that added such a great sound to thousands of hit records... and for a lead singer, Neil Diamond!
Lead Vocalist: Neil Diamond
Lead Guitarist: Glen Campbell
Rhythm Guitar: Barney Kessel
Bass: Carol Kaye
Drums: Hal Blaine
Keyboards: Leon Russell
Saxophone: Nino Tempo
Remember, this will NOT fit anyone else's "dream band" configuration... but if you go onto YouTube and watch the mini-documentary on The Wrecking Crew, perhaps you'll see why I chose those musicians - and (of course), I'm a *huge* Neil Diamond fan...
