12/12 I was eleven years old in 1970 and used to eagerly listen to WPRO's weekly top 30. So I remember all these songs well. 1970 was a really great year in music.
10/12.
If "Wonder of You" was on that list you would've done one better as that Elvis song came out in the year 1970. Over in England it spent 6 weeks at #1. They really loved the King over there.
It's too bad the Colonel messed him up and never let him tour outside the states.
Who knows these groups or songs? This quiz was a waste of time! ⏲️
12/12 pal..🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻
Not for me Geronimo. I enjoyed this quiz because I knew all the songs from that year and thus was able to score a💯. And that's always a good feeling!
11 of 12 #11
I got them all correct.
couple off
You left out one of my favorite bands of the 70's, The Raspberries. To me, they were the Beatles of the 70's. Great harmonies, jangly guitars, awesome songs like, "Go All The Way", "Let's Pretend", "I Wanna Be With You" etc. Eric Carmen was great!
beatles of the '70s? joking, right?
But they weren't around back in 1970. They came on the scene a few years later. And they only had three hits, which you named.
Got 11 out of 12. Got #11 wrong. Never heard the song?
12 for 12 yaahoo a roni:)
I broke my hammer nailing this one:)

Did you "Guess Who" these 1970s hitmakers were? Which song from that year is your favorite?
Missed #7 & #8. Never heard of them or those two songs.

"Reflections of My Life" was a top ten hit in the US and it reached #3 on the British charts. Its one of my favs from that year. Give it a listen!
11 out of 12! Got No. 10 wrong. 😁😁😁😁😁

10/12; I did well despite having to guess on most. I grew up in the 70's but did not know a lot of these songs but recognized the band names.
I'm the other way around. I knew MOST of the songs but back then I rarely paid attention to the band's name.
12 out of 12. This is my childhood in music, right here!
we are in the same club fer sure
11 of 12. Missed come and get it.
If you want it here it is come and get it, You'd better hurry cause it's going fast...
8/12 - disappointed with that result. Saw Alive N Kickin perfom a number of times in New York in the 1970's and 1980's
Yep! 12 of 12 correct! Not surprised though. I grew up with this music!
I wish they had mentioned Precious and few by Climax as well as Traces by Dennis Yost and the Classics 4 also they forgot what a year for Karen And Richard Carpenter
There was so much good rock and roll music back then, I doubt they could have included them all or this would have been a very long quiz! Crosby Stills & Nash, Jackson 5, Eric Burdon, R Dean Taylor and so many more.
Wasn't Precious and Few by Climax a bit later? 72 or 73?

Precious and Few was indeed 1972.
"Traces" by the Classics IV was 1968 I think, and "Precious and Few" came out in early 1972. That's why they weren't on the list.
badfinger and pacific gas and electric were good though
